Answer to a few questions, yes it is my company car and not the branch demonstrator (that
arrives later this week) yes i pay some tax on it. But all running expenses are covered, fuel servicing and parts and valeting. Have totally enjoyed a 182 company car for the last 8 months, so it gives me a good platform to base a comparision to. Yes it will be looked after like it was paid for with my own dosh. I am a true enthusiast of Clio's, owning a Williams 1 and the wife with her yellow 182, having a Clio myself as a company car is the only choice.
2live long time yes matey, yes the Willy is still causing kaos in essex. Must catch up soon with yourself and ged. However i don't get the postings off the old clio list, due to a email addy change.

pictures lads come on
Clio 1.6 16v Dynamique +
Yes yes, come on come on. Pics pics piiiiics!
I took loads when I first got my car (3 years ago now), over 200 of them infact, from every angle I could think of and in various different locations. I unfortuntely had a fatal problem with my hard drive (hadn't got around to putting them on disk) and lost the bloody lot. Gutted!

I can't believe people are talking of modifying a 197 already. You would think that Renault would have spent enough time designing the wheels and everything like that. Jesus.
Don't want to add too much weight? You'll be talking 1300kg soon which is daft.
Oh and front loading 6 cd mulitchanger. The micra has one of those...

Im sure it goes like a rocket, and it has brilliant seats and brakes etc, but i still think it looks too mumsy, lets hope the 197 cup will be abit more in your face, abit more aggresive. But dont get me wrong, i still think it looks good, and i defo wouldnt say no!

I'm going to get flamed to death here.....
But looking at those pics above (and assuming I knew NOTHING of the RS range/history) I would assume that that car was something like a Clio 1.4. It just looks so bland.
The only 'sporty bits' on that stand out are the vents behind the front wheels and the rear diffuser - which in itself didn't look much when I saw one parked at Oulton Park. They've even removed the 2.0 16V from the side door trims, ffs? :S
It looks waaaaay too tall (I fully agree with the other poster talking about lowering it) and the alloys just look puny for the size of the car.
Imo, Valvers look special. Willys look awesome and there is a definite distinction of something different when you see a 172 or 182. It looks like Reno have made a very last ditch attempt to make the 197 look special. Much like Ford did in the early 90's when they were embarrassed to put any sporty badging or accessories onto their cars - Cosworth, excepted of course.
The 197 just looks limp. If I can't afford a Meggy (which I doubt I can), the next replacement for me will a 2nd hand 182 Trophy - assuming I can find a decent one. However, for those that have the 197 on order, I hope you're chuffed with them!

What? Why?? Other than the fact that if he works for Renault this particular car might be bought by someone on here, who gives two hoots whether he polishes it everyday, or drives the whole way to work in 1st gear?
I got a company car, and it doesn't exactly get the TLC that my V6 does

I know it just doesnt make sense to me.When I had my company car i thrashed it whenever I felt like it,just like I do with my own.What you do with your car is upto you,nobody else is business.screw the s**t out of it everyday,make it work hard who gives a f**k...coz i certainly dont.My car is a peace of metal with an engine and 4 wheels thats it. Some people are just too emotional man

I am now inclined to agree with you there. When the new Clio came out I was seriously in love with it, but I am now finding the more I look at it the less I like it. I do however think the interior is far superior to the older Clios, but that's just my opinion. The newer (non sport) Clio is fast begining to look like an understated people mover, being quite abit higher. I am pretty glad I decided to keep mine and not to buy a new one. I do however think anyone who intends to , or already has bought one is still pretty lucky, especially if they get the 197, although given the choice I would rather have the Megane 225.
Clio 1.6 16v Dynamique +
I think the fact the 225 megane has kept it sexy looks, but has some serious added bits , has made it a very desirable car. The new Clio however has changed quite drastically, it no longer has the mean looking front end, instead it has an almost smug grin. I can quite honestly see people wanting to change the front end almost immediately.
