I keep looking at these. I fancy something a bit newer and a slight change. For 6/7k would be a 2010 ish. Would be white.
Have been looking about for a nice r26 with no joy and I think they are at a price point where people who don’t care buy them.
Was briefly considering stretching the budget for a Fiesta st/208. Even looked at the mk6 golf with having five doors. But with the new born probably not a wise move.
200 worth a shout, keep mine, hold out for an r26?. Would like the 250 but again they are knocking on the 9/10k door.
I keep looking at Fiesta st’s amongst other cars lol. But instantly when you see the cars they have potential chav written all over them, imo. The 208 being more grown up appeals but can’t help feel it would be second best. At 10k I would get a 250 or a mk6 gti 5dr.
Sadly my budget doesn’t make that sense. £6k ish is where I’m at.
Im surprised you cant find a decent R26 for £6K.
Whats wrong with something like this (apart rom decals missing hehe) :

@imprezaworks not red or white, but a rare colour! Cheap at that price too. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/192505317571
Been for sale for ages, would want lower miles tbh
Did you have a butchers mate?Cheers mark. Will have a look after properly.
As bad as me lol making things difficult for myself by being dead set on Arctic pearlescent white......with Recaro's.......oh ! and a cup rear spoiler !! Still, at least I know what I don't want lolOf sorts. Do really fancy white tbh.
...Not sure if you can view. This looks nice and wants £7k. Little bit away from what I want to spend

Considering you're looking at cars but keeping your 182 is an option I'd go with the 200. Even I look at them on AT from time to time, I think I would want green or white.
If you wanted better A road pace and a bigger chassis then Mégane is an obvious choice, but let's not pretend the only reason you get a Clio is that you can't afford a Mégane.
Clio will be going. Theres a chap selling a Red R26 for 6K, 64,000 Miles etc. But i do think the 200 is the way i'm going.
Have you driven a 200 mate?
Have you driven a 200 mate?
I've not driven one but from what I've read I just don't get 197/200's.
Being a bit better built and newer is literally the only positive I can see over a 182.
Now a megged 200, I would definitely have one of them.
They just seem a bit lardy and cumbersome in comparison to a 182. As I say, never driven one though so.

A 200 is leaps ahead of a 182 in every way apart from mpg.
Standard white.....not very. Pearlescent white.......as rare as rockin' horse poo it seems lol. Ktec had the perfect car for me a while back but i missed out on itHow rare is that colour
There's f**k all in it for the straight line, I'd actually bet my 172 was quicker than the 197.And straight line performance surely.
I would love a 200 for the handling, looks and upgrading to a more modern and liveable daily.
Didnt ktec have a 200 close to £10k??, not sure what colour it was though
Seems a strange thing to say in that case unless you mean looks wise?
I'd actually say the opposite, the 200 looks nice and squat, the 182 in comparison looks like a hatchback of the 90s.
Do you need to? I've not heard anyone say a bad word about their drive
Yes of course you do, even if it's just to check it drives ok.
I am on my third 200 now. First car was an immaculate Alien Green but in comparison to my 182 it felt like I had to ring it's neck every time I wanted it to go fast, second car was a project liquid yellow that I bought to do a meggy transplant to get the speed but didn't happen as I acquired an awesome storm grey meglio already done.
200's are awesome handling, better looking (when lowered with speedlines) but just not fast enough and then add in the parts made from chocolate - gearboxes, recaros, manifold, hub-bearings plus the flat spot and kangarooing cold starts.
^^^ so yes a test drive is required and buyers homework essential.
Driven properly, a 200 is as fast as a 182. You just have to work harder in the 200. Show the 200 some corners and the 182 will be left behind.So is it just the feeling or is the 200 actually slower than a 182?
