Just a small update today having been to Surrey Rolling Road in its new location...and Charlie's lost none of his former consistency...this is just 0.2 bhp different from the last run I had there in the old location... 29,850 miles now, still not tired of the firm ride, still enjoy the drive...

Me either, SYNC works well, bluetooth and phone control/calling does too.

I find it similar to my non-cupped 200 - makes progress on the broken country roads I pound along every day just as well as that did. At low speed I do find it really choppy but once up to speed I think it smooths out and works nicely.

Aw, shucks.

That's because beneath the orange flake top coat they're both the same flat red. Agreed though. £725 for one blow over with glitter, I must have been mad. As for rarity? A hatchback, hot or otherwise, should be an everyday car and not some rarely seen prized possession. They're shopping cars ffs.

I can count on one hand how many I've seen on the road in the year and a half since I took delivery of mine. Odd!

Just tried the mobile version of the site for the first time. Tapatalk can now firmly f*** right off.

For info I run the G1WH front and rear on track and for just that they're perfect (and cheaper).

Maybe mine being worth £4k at 5yrs and 100k miles was a little optimistic!

It was the exact same press writing the poor reviews on the 200T that heaped praise on the original mk3 200, so I'd say yes, they've driven it. Don't forget that a lot drove them back to back or in group tests with the Fiesta...which arguably is far more of a successor to the mk3 200. They...

I dropped in after lunch for an hour, lots of Clios on track including the rarest of the rare, a 200T! Great day for it. Mental note to self; avoid right hand side of pit straight, it's absolutely covered in fresh moist moss in the winter from the low sun not drying it out, ever.

I saw my first one in the wild today... Pounding around Goodwood as it should. Looked filthy but at home.

Weather's looking good for Saturday, not so good for Sunday. I may get a chance to drop in on Saturday to see what's running around.

Genuine question; what's the point of fitting wider wheels if it's not to improve your tyre width/contact with the road? Seems odd to go to the expense of wider wheels...but fit the same tyres that were fitted to the narrower ones!

This is all I saw - only 24k miles and the Renault quality faux leather wheel is still proper f***ed.

A 6+ running Lollipop. That would be perfect. Mmm mmm mmmmmm.

I think you might be able to add this within a certain time period from the initial sale. I'd say it's certainly worth a phone call.

Agreed! Response was unintentional if that's how it was received...I saw a capitalised "ALWAYS" and bit. :blush:

Aye. If budget tyres are so lethal why when people have even less grip available (when driving on snow for example) is there not complete carnage on the roads? Answer...because people drive to the grip and conditions available to them. Simply having lower grip levels is not the sole reason...

You ALWAYS wear a crash helmet when driving on the road? WTF OMG, you're insane if you don't. How precious is your head, you must take absolutely every single step available to protect it. Surely?

Exactly this ^^^. If something is taking a high percentage you can drill in and find out what it's doing, how long it's kept the phone awake etc. I tried doing that on my wife's 5C last night. LOL at what information I couldn't find and what I couldn't do. Just LOL.

Nope. If anything it's a little better than before for me.

First week of ownership someone commented on the ST's 'amazing' colour. Then it went quiet for 29,000 miles until a few weeks back when I got accosted in a Shell garage by a copper. Kept me stood about chatting for a good five minutes until is oppo told him to get going.

3 at a push.

Too big, too many doors, too soft, too automatic. That's the standard argument/complaint from just about anyone that's already made up their mind about the car. Such a shame. The only problem with this car I can make out is the timing, and Renault's handling, of its launch.

I've worked it out now...I wasn't swiping from the bottom left phone icon...just swiping from left to right anywhere on the screen takes you to the phone menu, from right to left anywhere brings up the camera and straight up is the home screen. So I must swipe up, swipe up, swipe up...

Amen. 125k happy miles in mine from new and what did I do? Ruined it. Grrr. Wish I'd never done a single thing to it. As it came direct from Renault it was perfect for what it was.

Define 'best'? Each model has strengths and weaknesses compared to the others, and as said above ALL of the older generations are likely to be very thin on the ground and doubtful will still exist as Renault intended.

Err, ummm, I might not have been... :blush: Happy to report here that I have not one single issue with Lollipop on my N5...

The ONLY issue I've had since updating my Nexus 5 is that whenever I unlock I'm faced with the dial screen regardless of it being either open or the last app accessed before locking. Annoying!
