good advice to to test drive different cars, i test drove fiesta st twice , the 2nd time particularly, i really explored what it could do and pushed it quite hard, was very good to be fair, and had i trusted in other peoples reviews and opinions i would have never even test drove a clio trophy...

I don't agree, they aren't the best car in the class, they are the best bang per buck, but not the best full stop. I see your reasoning, if something is great why would that you put you off buying one. For me it wouldn't put me off, i almost signed on the dotted line for one. What put me off...

to engage sport mode you simply press the silver button between the 2 front seats once, and same to turn it off. To engage race mode you push the gear selector left whilst in "D" obviously, then hold the same silver button down for about 3 seconds, it tells you on the dashboard what mode your...

mmmm seems like the 208 gti is tuned /geared to make good 0-62, just found this online test, despite the mountune fiesta being 4 tenths slower to 62 mph, it was actually marginally faster than the 208 gti from 60 to 100 mph, and the clio trophy was a full second faster from 60 mph to 100 mph...

Thanks Smiffy, see you drive an ST....also a brilliant hot hatch imo. David

great video here, track battle between pug 208 gti and clio trophy,almost identical times. 2 great well sorted cars, interesting comments at 4 mins 40, saying the trophy lays its power out of corners maybe a smidgen better, despite the pug having a pukka lsd and the trophy having an electrical...

do you think the 208 gti is slightly tweeked / geared towards a great 0-62, because the official time is 6.5 which is 1 tenth quicker than the trophy, but then looking at these test figures the trophy is quicker from 0-100 mph and back to standstill again. 0-60mph and 0-100mph and back to a...

here's mine in the no extra cost, glacier white. David

the only options are paint colour, rs monitor and the trophy seats. I don't have the options so i couldnt tell you about the monitor, it is good value though because its a very cheap option to have, its 300 pounds only. Only thing is i didnt want to wait months which seems to be normal if you...

love my trophy, its amazing, every drive is a thrill, it does everything massively well. Straight line performance, exhaust sound ,lightning gear changes, unbelievable grip and handling in the corners, incredible traction and serious stopping power. It all just works as a package like nothing...

not sure if that is a serious comment or if your joking !! anyway just in case.... quote top gear "Now that Top Gear has published their review, we have some independent timings: 0-60mph and 0-100mph and back to a stand still by Top Gear at Bruntingthorpe 220 Trophy 6.5s and 20.3s 208 GTi...

yes definitely I agree, the fiesta is a great car.....and them heated recaros are great, that's the only thing I miss in my clio as i have the standard seats. The fiesta is possibly more fun than the Trophy, but ultimately not as capable, even in mp215 guise, infact that would just high light...

congrats, im sure you will have some great fun driving it. Love mine, and actually many tests speak very highly of the trophy now, its won numerous group tests, seems like the flock can't shake off the press's negative gear box comments regarding the 200 edc though, just shows the power of...

aaah here is a write up listing all the changes to chassis, its quite comprehensive actually. http://www.evo.co.uk/renault/clio/15411/renaultsport-clio-220-trophy-preview-performance-confirmed/page/0/1 David

mmm dunno jus tfound this in an online review..... Hot hatches aren’t just about straight-line pace, however – which is why the car has stiffer dampers, a 20mm lower ride height at the front and 10mm at the back, 40 per cent firmer rear springs and 10 per cent quicker steering. These changes do...

Nice, sounds like we got a similar deal, i got money knocked off that would be the equivalent of your saving on the seats. How long do you have to wait for it ?, i didn't want to wait for any length of time, and so fortunately by opting for a standard trophy i got the car in 2 - 3 weeks. If i...

aaah 2650 is the actual price difference. Loads of folks spend more than that on mods, way i see it is, ive got a fully modded, very rare and reliable clio with a factory warranty. Ive already done the old modifying to 300 bhp thing.....twice !, yes its fun when it works, but it comes with so...

i was excitedly waiting for the limited edition fiesta st to come out, details were released some time back now, all it has over a standard st3 is some awful paint job, the mp215 performance kit which costs 599 and a slightly different final drive, yet the money they are asking for them over and...

ive just recently had a new trophy, was a toss up between that and the fiesta st, fiesta was good but it hadn't got the outright grip through a corner that the clio has, and the fiesta couldnt lay its power on the exits, it would just spin up the inside wheel, it was great fun but just not as...

The car says 36 mpg average since we brought the car, i think that's good because its all been local small journeys, haven't had the chance to see what mpg we get on a nice long run yet. David

220 trophy, for about a month.....love it, really love it.
