200T Finally Arrives

[Sam@NP]

I think the 182 looks dated next to that.

 

[just-that-ek]

Love the look of that.

Pictures don't do it justice, so much more aggressive in person IMO

 

[Mr Plums]

It looks a bit complicated next to the 182.

Looks decent tho.

 

[Mark_P]

I think the 182 looks dated next to that.

You would expect so in 10 years though.

I'm not a fan of the new one, maybe after a mid-life facelift?

 

[scotty10]

Don't listen to the haters enjoy your new car mate

 

[Cliotoby]

Im starting to like that. The one lowered on KW V3's looks sick. I think that photo would be one to make me lean towards getting one. But id have it remapped, new exhaust and Kw v3's within a month.

New meets old

Wow! I'm going to try really hard to not sound like a troll but... the 182 looks so much better imo. I've always been a fan of little Renault's the Renault 5 GT Turbo is my favourite hot hatch ever. New one is just too big with too many doors. Maybe if I had kids or something and wanted a bit of go I'd consider it.

 

[steve32c]

I'm just getting old, the new one is more civilised and a nicer place to sit in. I don't want to get rid of the 182 but after 8 years and 163K miles it's nearly time to say good bye.

 

[withoutabix]

Steve do you think it was worth the wait for the RS monitor? or do you wish you had sacrificed it and had the car a fair few months ago?

 

[MWRS182]

Hmm not for me. I would take the 182, with the money left over I would make the 182 like new again or turbo or both.

But as long as it makes you happy that's all that matters.

 

[ColinG]

The 182 looks fantastic there, 200T looks genuinely like a Leon.

 

[George182]

The 182 looks better IMO.

 

[steve32c]

Steve do you think it was worth the wait for the RS monitor? or do you wish you had sacrificed it and had the car a fair few months ago?

The monitor is more of a toy the car was supposed to be ready for September originally for only a few hundred quid why not. There shouldn't be any delay on those ordered with the monitor now

 

[Corby G]

It looks good from the rear/side but jesus that's one ugly front end, the fog lights don't help it's cause.

You mean the 1,000 inch renault badge?

I agree, back looks mean as f**k

 

[davo172]

Drove a 200 today and can honestly say I was not impressed in anyway !

 

[Ryanj]

These are starting to grow on me, but I really hope renault do something decent with the cup, 30mm or so lower, different wheels (hate those standard ones), recaros, and cup racer spoiler. Would make it a million times better IMO. I'm really looking forward to when people start modding them, will be interesting to see what people do with them

 

[steve32c]

I was told the cup racer spoiler is about £800 as it's a hefty bit of kit and having looked at pictures of the cup racers. It looks like it would rub on the aerial so you may need to change that. If Ashton is on this forum (White 200T - CL10 EDC) he's getting the KW V3 suspension kit fitted, the stance looks good and it may increase handling but, I bet the ride is no where near as good as it is with the cup chassis and suspension.

 

[George Welsh]

I admit I am starting to like it..
Next to the 182 it looks like an espace lol. All modern cars are the same though.
The size of the 197 and the natural aggressivveness for me was spot on.
Despite that many many happy miles. Enjoy

 

[Cookie]

Horrible looking car. Hope it drives alright for your sake.

Ironic song choice.

[davo172]

Nowhere near special enough to deserve the badge or price tag imo you could be in any new model Clio .

 

[James28]

New meets old

Front wheel looks smaller than the back wheel in that!
Please please buy some tire shine. It'll transform the photos.

 

[Munson]

These look worse with every new picture I see. Not seen the 'Renaultsport' version in the metal yet though.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

They look identical to the normal ones bar the wheels with stretched tyres.

 

[Munson]

I'll reserve final judgment just in case I ever see one :clown:

 

[CrippsCorner]

Hopefully you won't mate, lol. I think I've seen one but it was hard to tell!

 

[davo172]

Hopefully you won't mate, lol. I think I've seen one but it was hard to tell!

When you sit inside you won't tell either !

 

[Gaz_]

They look identical to the normal ones bar the wheels with stretched tyres.

And bumpers, exhaust, drls etc etc granted, they are no 197 though.


I regularly see a black and a LY

 

[Amberlamps]

Rather like them tbh, but jeez they are massive compared to the old'uns.

they are bigger, but again in that pic the 182 is lowered, so gives a false impression.
