Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news - NEW DETAILS #1779 That is pretty much the ONLY even slightly negative comment amongst several hundred words, and you say enough said without ever having seen one let alone driven one. FLOL...you are a lost cause, go and buy a Fiesta, I'm sure you'll be...

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news - NEW DETAILS #1779 Got followed a few miles down a B road by one of them today, bizarre looking little thing, the Aston grille looks so odd on a shoe. i'm surprised at how comparable the two clios above look size wise. Considering the mk2 vs mk3 looks like...

Don't do this, your new car will look HUGE and the abuse will be endless. Find a mk3, it should look a lot sleeker next to one of them!

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news - NEW DETAILS #1779 Interesting about hydraulic bump stops...sounds as though it'll be night/day different. Looking forward to the press reports on 14th to see if that's actually the case.

Agree with Dan. More trackdays. And tuition.

By your own admission your fluid was not up to scratch, you boiled it, meaning your pedal pressure cold not reach the pads and discs effectively. Then you blame the pads for the poor braking performance? As said already, for mostly road use DS2500 are a bit over the top. I'm running Mintex...

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news - NEW DETAILS #1779 Agreed...it's horrendous! Looks playful enough from those clips though, seems to move about a bit.

Was this there one where there was almost coronary failure following discovery of some slight overspray beneath the rear bench or something like that?

I'm pretty clueless when it comes to detailing and paint correction/restoration at any level, but have always thought that putting a hard edged straight line anywhere on a panel during the process (at whatever stage) would ultimately leave some form of compromise in the pursuit of perfection...

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news - NEW DETAILS #1779 Ah ok, is that what the question was? I did suspect that but didn't think it possible someone could have such a low IQ and still be able to use a mouse.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news - NEW DETAILS #1779 What?

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news - NEW DETAILS #1779 Are you for real? Comedy gold, right there ^^^

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news - NEW DETAILS #1779 It's all about the arches and the clutch pedal apparently.

So they've been sent the original invoice that clearly states it's a black edition, and it was insured as a black edition, but with all that in hand they're saying 'no, it's not a black edition'? Really? Insurance ombudsman maybe?

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news - NEW DETAILS #1779 More CS logic at play in here...something that is entirely 100% optional (and a gimmick at that) is a key deciding factor in determining if a car is worth considering or not. Brilliant.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news - NEW DETAILS #1779 I think it looks alright. Don't write it off yet.

...and for balance, one without...

Hmmm...does appear so which is odd...didn't think it was. Although that shows as a zero cost option...since when have Renault done anything for free? I think that should have a '1.' next to it as it's part of the cup pack.

Agreed, there's no question at all if the sole buying criteria were looks. The op was asking if the suspension mattered to the way they drive...which it doesn't really. If it did, why do so many spec the cup pack then change the springs/dampers to get lows/stance? If the cup packs are that good...

Of course you're going to say that (like referring to my spec being poverty)...you only buy/sell cup packed, recaro specced, speedline wheel shod cars so have a vested interest in pushing what you sell. It's all opinion anyway, the op needs to try the different options and then decide for...

To give you both sides of the 'argument'...I've done over 20k road miles and 4 trackdays in my non-cupped 200 and have never ever once even slightly felt that I needed something firmer beneath me. I came from 120k miles in a 172 Cup so thought I might miss the 'sharpness'...but I truly...

LOL Proper tool indeed. I've been driving six months, so I can drive. No, you actually can't. Justification for the sky high premiums the young pay for high group cars...right here.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news - NEW DETAILS #1779 I too saw one today...took my buddy to Wilsons in Epsom to pick the replacement for his S2000 up. They had a demonstrator parked outside. I can honestly say I thought the exact opposite to you. Looks so much better in the flesh, not...

I've always liked these. Mate had one for 12 months so spent a fair amount of time passengering...only things I could ever really criticise where the moulding line on the plastic scaffold pole-like door grab handles along with a digital clock from 1982 that Toyota persevered with for decades...

True. With enough coercion she'll sit in/on anything.

My wife would happily sit in it.

I like all of that. 200 will be immense.

My AD08s in monsoon standing water/running river conditions at Llandow. They did really well until I asked for acceleration as well as cornering over a particularly deep puddle)...

Circa 15 seconds, not bad. To those that think it's quicker, don't forget that by the time the speedo needle starts moving, it's already moving down the road at 10-15mph.

Can't comment as never tried the others, but for what you get, I'd say the AD08s are worth every penny. I was only expecting 6k miles out of them so to be looking at 12k+ after two trackdays is remarkable considering the grip they give.
