Not sure what to do tbh. I could easily cancel the current car and re-order later when this becomes available. Though I'm not entirely sure I want all that stuff. The only thing I can see of real benefit is the folding mirrors.
Evans Hallshaw on Cumbernauld road in Glasgow have a demo to have a play with.
Ask for Ross if you go. He encourages you to go for it/give it the beans on the test drive.
Make that 11. Ordered ours tonight after test driving.
The demo was the same colour as your's Mark. Looks bloody awesome in the flesh. I went for blue though lol.
We plan to go and discuss some figures on Sunday with the possibility of putting a deposit down on one of these.
Emma has a few tests to do first though. She's going on Friday (When I'm at work) to test that we can fit the pram in the boot and the wee man and his car seat in the back. If it...
We seen our first ST at the weekend in the ASDA car park. It was orange like yours Mark and it looked superb. I really liked it but Emma loved it.
She wants me to go and have a look at one now lol (though I still prefer the blue).
The only potential negative is not being able to fit a pram in...
I've experienced CC on all of my past cars (That had it fitted) and wife's cars (That had it fitted) with CC definitely drunk more fuel when using CC.
Topgear also mentioned this a number of times when they do their Eco drives.
End of the world? Most definitely not.
400 miles from a tank is easily achievable which would give you just over 33 mpg (Which funilly enough is what we get in our 200) driving normally.
Obviously when "pushing on" it is quick to reduce somewhat.
9mpg is easily achievable on track. ;)
Attended the Clio200.net How Fast? event on Saturday. A wee blurb copy and pasted over from there:
Little update/blog post How Fast?
The little green one performed flawlessly the 370 miles down to Bedford, the 370 miles back from Bedford and the hammering she received at Bedford. Managed to...
I go through phases of liking/wanting a Sprint spoiler but if I was to fit it and then grow to dislike it (Like I did with the old Cup spoiler) and have to get the tailgate repaired again the wife would linch me lol.
Gearboxes are the weak link. I've had ours replaced on our 200 (Which has the same box as the majority of 197s).
Though folk have had gearboxes replaced on their Clios that have never seen a track. Everything else is up to the task really.
Spent Saturday lowering and washing the green one. Absolutely beautiful day so naturally I'm now sunburnt lol.
Anyway. Now the rears are as low as they'll go. The fronts were lowered to "suit". Really love the look of it and she still manages not to scrape on speedbumps. Geometry is being setup...
I still don't know which colour I'd go for. LY or black for sure though.
I want one, however cant justify selling the 200 Cup after only 3 years of ownership from new. Will wait 1.5->2.5 years before I buy an EDC. Maybe by then some of the "short comings" will be ironed out by then.
