Circumstance change therefore car change...

Hi guys,

Looking to get something abit more exciting and hopefully just as useable rather than spending any money on my 1.4 2006 clio.

I had contemplated spending on this but in the long run its not worth the money compared to the level i could get by selling and spending in something else.

Whilst im not the biggest fan of Renault interiors this clio has served me well and i could live with it until finances allow me to get something else!

Id like cruise control and AC with heated seats but i know thats all a push and have about 5/6k to spend, so ive obv been looking at 197 and 225, with 133 twingos.

This is the best place to ask so what do you guys think/advice on what to look for?

What are these like compared to the 197?
I have never been in one or ever spoken to anyone who has owned one!

I've had 3 mate, never had a 197 but I like boost.

A good looked after one will see you through, a cheap and nasty one will be riddle with problems.

I'm currently selling Megane, if that's a route your thinking of taking then you're more than welcome to come had have a nosy

Very smart!

How much do you pay for insurance if you dont mind me asking?

And whats the mpg like now with all the internals changed?

I ave around town anywhere between 22 and 30 and hit 37-40 if not more on a long run out.

Insurance is around £300 for the year.

A lot of people are surprised with how will the fuel is on mine, I put £20 a week and get half a tank.

 

[Stedaley]

For 285bhp thats not at all bad, i only get 42 from my clio on a run!
I think renaults are quite good on gearing for the motorway!

Is all the work receipted and documented?

Let me have a look at insurance quotes and get back to you!

I was looking at a subaru the other day with similar work done to the internals, 300bhp, but 18mpg and £400 a year tax!

50mpg
cheap-rate road fund
190hp (after remap, de-cat, and some other, relatively inexpensive changes) or more (with more expensive changes...it's the 1.9 PDi engine)
cruise, full leather, climate.

It's a top spec MK.4 golf, with a boot. But, unlike the golf, it'll turn corners!
It'll be fast enough to be a big step up from where you're at now, but with build quality that means you wont be chasing fresh rattles every other week

Do it. [emoji41]

Well compared to the the russians megane its a no brainer!

No point in spending more money on just as good a car!

If you want a Meg then buy Jacobs, it's mint. His a great guy too.

I'd buy it over the phone if I wanted one, his spent a fortune on it.

But comparable all the same,

Subaru will be my go too car when/if i needed the 4wd.

Thats what all the extra costs are for!
