Well one of the main deciding factors for me was the looks, I am sorry to any CTR owners but it looks like a MPV and a really horrible looking one at that..
I really dont care if the CTR was a second faster to 60 I still wouldnt buy one, when I look at my car I dont want to think eeeuuhh ! oh...
Sorry it was snowing the only time I managed to get of my backside and take some pics..

I will only post a few to save the poor 56kers
well i would have to say that it sounds like you all have been unlucky, and i am sorry to say but most cars have their problems (not that this should be accepted as normal) and yes the Renualt Dealer are not the best, but again most of the dealers are crap.
I have only had two problems...
yes you put the best tyres on the back, its easier to control understeer than it is oversteer, and you dont really want your car fishtailing round a busy roundabout

i know, thing is they knew what model my car was!! I was well impressed, "e yar yo, thats a Cliosport innit, theyre rapid." Thats what they said! Sad or what but i couldnt stop laughin!
The obviously didnt cause its a RenaultSport...
power steering is great for parking, but once your out of town or on a track day you kinda wish you didnt have it as you loose that feeling of the road.
sorry but that car is crying for a set of alloys.. if your budget can stretch get yourself a set of 16" even 17" if you can.
Then you car will look brill
delears suxx..
well just to give you an idea, i got my 2002 mk2 172 with 5600 miles on the clock for 9000..
but I have never seen any this low anywhere since i got mine.
Didnt take any/Wasnt intending any, the ps bit was meant as a joke.. it amazing how people can read the posts differently than you intended.
I will put a smilie in it..
now read my post again, see what a difference a smilie can make :)
my point being is that i agreed, a lot of the clios are driven by women, but the top end models eg 172s and V6s all appear to be driven by men.
Women generally dont care about performance, they just go for the looks and and engine that will get them from a to b
Same goes with golfs, but I...
Well I would agree that a lot of Clios are driven by women, but I have never once seen a RenaultSport Clio 172 driven by a women (yes I know there are some on here).

Edinburgh.. LOL.
more specifically I live near corstorphine.. so the sighthill garage is my local.
what is the point even if the cup did rev to 8000 rpm ?
I mean your pretty much out the powerband, cause changing down a gear will bring you right at the start of the powerband again.
so I dont see the point in increasing the rev limit unless your changing cams and really modding the car...
I went to renault edinburgh (well the one at sighthill industrial estate) asked to see a 172, they pointed out the demo car that they had and were trying to sell for just under 14K.
Had a look around it and decided then that I wanted one but that I wasnt going to pay that price for it, it had...
yes the 172 might be 2 seconds slower round the track .. but which one of us is going to be sweaty and smelly, and which one will come out cool and chilled ?
answers on a postcard to :
The cup driver is the sweaty one
