I've had my 1.2 TCE for just over a week now and I'm really concerned about the mpg i've been getting.
It is claimed to get 38.2 urban (which my journeys usually are) but in my car I've been getting as low as 26mpg average.
I don't exactly drive like an arse and I usually take it easy, plus...
So after owning the old blue 1.2 for about a year:
I decided I fanced something different. Apart from that, the old one came with a string of things going wrong; cracked windscreen, slow-punctured tyres, tyres with not a lot of tread, dents, scratches, leaking sunroof, the list went on...
well i took one for a test drive and i have to say i absolutely loved it! the torque was just not what i expected at all, great handling, plus it looks brilliant with the bigger wheels too.
picking it up tomorrow ;)
i have one (soon to be replaced) and i have to say it is ideal for a first car. it is pretty nippy around town etc but they're gutless when cold. like some people have said, just use it for now to get experience and some no claims then get something faster.
it's a dynamique s i was looking for initially but they're pretty scarce - i like the standard dyna though. lowering is definitely on the wishlist, looks like a tractor in the pics! £7,300 roughly I'm getting it for, 2010 '59 plate, 10k.
Great help, cheers! I guess i was just a little skeptical at first seeing as it's still only a 1.2 but it does have more bhp so I can imagine it being a lot better, I was contemplating this and an older one with the old 1.4 but I've heard that this is so much better. what sort of bhp can you get...
I've put down a deposit on a one year old Clio 1.2 TCE Dynamique and I'm going to see it tomorrow.
Can anyone that owns one/has driven one give me a heads up to what they are like? I'm turning 18 in about 4 weeks time and I'm trading in my '03 1.2, is there much of a difference?
Cheers
looks not bad, defo needs lowered, smaller wheels and put the standard rear lights back on! could tidy it up with subtle things like silvervisions, clear side repeaters and colour coding too
Spotted at the Izatt Avenue lights at the crossroads on Hospital Hill, went straight across towards Abbeyview. Had CS sticker in back window and what sounded like a pretty meaty exhaust note :rasp:
anyone?
