These don't do anything for me at all. Really not a fan.

They just ruin it for me :(

Lovely looking car. I think the 197 is the most attractive out of all the clio sports. Can't stand that bloody spoiler though!

Sounds like your car is in good hands....

63 plate Clio 200t LUX

I can see where the criticism for the 200 box comes from as I've found it a bit clumsy at times in auto mode. When in race mode I find it fine when giving the car a bit of a kicking. I've not driven any other auto cars so couldn't compare with other boxes.

Can't say I've noticed a massive delay. I never think when driving "I wish it would shift quicker" sport and race seem fast enough for me

That's LOTS of town driving mind. For reference my focus st with 260bhp was getting around 23-24mpg. On the motorway the clio is into the high 30's/low 40's.

I've had it for around 4 weeks now. Currently on 27.1mpg with lots of town driving. For town I'll leave it in auto, otherwise I put it in sport mode and manual. I love it on the country roads but I do miss the torque of the ST. No regrets with buying the car so far!

Definitely get a drive in one first. I had concerns about the gearbox but when I drove it I really didn't see any problems with it.

Compared to my focus it's very stiff but I wouldn't say uncomfortable. Used it on some country roads today and it was great fun.

4 doors is lovely tbh, much better then getting out to let people in. Yes, I've still got around 2 years warranty left on it. Will pm you price etc.

It had the mountune mp260 package on it. I'm pretty sure that if both cars were side by side, the focus would pull away though lol. If I get the clio mapped then possibly similar pace due to the weight difference.

I've only owned it for a day so far but the difference in torque is massive. 400nm compared to 240nm in the clio. The clio is much stiffer and gives me a lot more confidence in corners. I wouldn't say I feel a massive difference in speed either.

I couldn't say atm but from what I've heard, 30+mpg. I do quite a bit of town driving with work. If I can beat the 24mpg I was getting out of my ST then I'll be happy.

If it helps, they're as good as the seats I had in my 59 plate focus st. Not that that changes the looks lol.

They're very rare down by me as well. Mainly due to Renaults terrible marketing and pricing I guess. I couldn't believe it when this turned up at the Renault dealership 8 miles down the road!

I couldn't stand the look of them when they first came out. They've really grown on me now. Can't stop looking at it lol.

I picked it up yesterday but I'd had 2 test drives in it prior to buying. I previously had an mp260 focus ST which I absolutely loved, but felt it was time for a change. I know these cars don't seem to get the best reception on here. Personally I quite like the gearbox. It's got the cup...

Insurance list gt's and glanzas so you can't really get away with insuring it as a 1.3 n/a... which I assume is what you're inferring?

This is driving me mental. I'm down to 8.26 in an ek9, decided to focus a bit more on speed rather than just all out handling but I just can't get any faster!

I don't think my DC2 has got enough top end to get much quicker than 8:27 :(. Nearly all the mods are handling orientated

Wahey someone slower than me!

Down to 8:27. Hoping to lower it again in the next few days or even change to a different car. I've seen the integra in the 7's on the leader board so I only need 28 seconds... lol :(

I can't say I ever struggled when I used my 197 everyday. I just drove it?

I'm using a DC2 integra. I'm down to 8.30 now with a bit of practice so it's coming down slowly!

Christ I'm on bloody 8:48 lol. I think there's a lot of practice needed. Only did 3 laps last night

I'm going to build a c class car and give it a shot

I was looking at these as a replacement for my focus st the other week. Just couldn't find one anywhere. Lovely car, I'm very jealous!

Try a focus ST. Turning circle of a tank. I thought the clio was alright myself.
