Clio 200 Or a Megane 250

[Martin!]

Ah fair play.

I test drove a 197 F1 last weekend, and tbh, didn't think it was all that, not sure what it's like in comparison to a 200, but can't imagine them being much different.

There was a white 250 on the forecourt too, and it looked stunning. 250 all day long if I had the money.

 

[dannyjenks]

You know what my choice would be Ryan after last week.

Defo the Megane

 

[BioHzrd]

250 all day long until the Boost the Clio i dont think id go back !

 

[NWPerformance]

Im having a test drive of them on sunday so will see what comes of that. What are people getting out of a tank of fuel in the 200 and the 250?

 

[jamier27]

i know my 197 was thirsty as >K I'd hope with the 200 one of the main targets would have been to improve the economy as well as the torque??
at a guess you'd probably get 30-40 miles a tank more from the clio with spirited driving, but with gentle driving both would be similar? megane being better on motorway clio better in town

200 with a fat tw@t in it driving ethusiastically on A-B roads will return 28-29 mpg.

Drive it like it's stolen = 24-25

Drive it like my dead Grannie = 33-35.

 

[Gally]

Big difference in price!

Buy a FRS.

 

[D2501]

There's a new Meg 250 in the staff car park here today, someone's obviously just picked it up, looked immense. In white though, seems to be the colour for them at the minute.

Don't buy a FRS as gally suggests :rasp: too many of them about lol.

 

[Munson]

Meg 250 has a much better engine than the FRS, laps The Internet 5 seconds faster, and will be worth the same in 5 years.

 

[Gally]

The Megane 25l0l?

I wouldn't buy one as said before due to the wheel arches are stuck on like a 2002 Suzuki Liana sport

 

[Louism]

Wrong quote, meant "dont buy FRS theres too many about"

Theres a reason for this

I couldnt buy the meg new but second hand maybe when its dropped. Generally speaking when its not your money everyone will say 250 but if they had the cash to buy either it would be a different story. 15k vs 22-23k its a big jump and would you get 7-8ks more thills out of it, probs not.

The 200 and meg are a very similar car, the FRS is a totally different animal.

 

[Louism]

I also would love an R26R for 6 months but not as an every day car. I also think they have bottomed out price wise around 18k and they wont lose much more.

Lol true!

To be honest it'd be a hard decision but the fact that the 200 is FUGLY and the 250 is NICE! I think that would swing it, yeah theres a big price difference and you wont get a LOT more thrills. But having driven 197, 225meg and I took a 250 meg round silverstone the other week. The megs are a much more stable and planted car, and I'd say on long drives or regular motorway drives you'd deffinately appreciate the meg a lot more. Depends on what your gonna use it for and how much you'll miss the extra cash if you spend it tbh.

P.S dont get white in either car, its the easy choice! everyone and there dog is getting cars in white and its getting old now. Id go for grey in both cars.

 

[Louism]

They have the same nose muppet

 

[Gally]

No they don't Louise.

The 200 is still Fugly!

 

[D2501]

Obviously the Meg 250 looks much better, although the 200 has grown on me now.

 

[Munson]

This is true. The Clio 200 and Megane 250 share all body panels from the door mirrors forwards.

 

[Wee Scamp]

Personally I don't think I'd go for either. I'd much prefer to find another 182 because it's simply a much better car. Even if you found a high mileage unit and spent money on a complete refresh it would still be a better deal than either a 200 or a Megane 250.

 

[Munson]

The 182 is a much better car than the Megane 250? I find that hard to believe.

 

[Louism]

 

[Louism]

They are the same idiots

 

[Munson]

Identical.

 

[D2501]

Twins iirc.

 

[Munson]

I still think the Megane in the bottom pic looks better.

 

[Louism]

I still think the Megane in the bottom pic looks better.

This better be a joke

 

[Gally]

Identical.

You're right Louise they do have the same nose.

I'll order a meg 250 bumper for that 200 at work.

 

[Louism]

Im gnna order a foot in your arse Gale

 

[Munson]

So SRS.

 

[Gally]

 

[Louism]

hahaha

 

[Louism]

On a interesting note, as i have said before, that 59 plate press meggy, the guy said that the meggy didnt have enough grunt.

 

[Aluco]

I'd rather have the meg.

 

[fosk]

Personally I don't think I'd go for either. I'd much prefer to find another 182 because it's simply a much better car.

Hahahahahahaha.

Hahaha.

Awesome.

I wouldnt go for another 182 when i own 1 now

I believe you son. I think we would all rather be in an old 182 then a brand new best in class meg 250.

 

[gaz44]

Only a muppet would says this. Are you actually blind?

 

[Louism]

You're an idiot

 

[Jasey]

Someone should have gone to spec savers.

Similar <> Same

 

[Gally]

Or bought a dictionary.

Same does not = similar.

 

[Louism]

You guys are picking peanuts out of poo
