[Scott 172]

I quite like it.

 

[Shaunbrass]

Would have one of the the 197 every day of the week.

1.6 turbo!!!

tuning heads will totally love it, will be minted

nice vid thanks

 

[MCG]

it seems ok, I would choose one over a 197 but not over a 172 or 182

[dannyboy172]

Oooooo, bet that can be tuned up nicely! wuuuoooommmmm tissssh!

 

[Ady182]

yummy

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

Looks w**k.

197 over that anyday. Then again, if I can choose any car next year (company car time) it's Mini Cooper S time.. Wouldn't buy one for the money, but as a company car, can't do much worse Straight through exhaust and a bluefin and we're off!!

 

[Leeshez]

Sounds fun

 

[Weeman]

Soon to be the next chav chariot of choice.

 

[Timmay]

looks very nice - wonder what theyll retail at?

Jesus christ where did they find Mr Charisma to narrate the video...what a boring f*ck!

haha spesh when he says "if were lucky we might be able to hear a woosh from the turbo"

sounds like a bird watcher!!

not sure on the whole bigger is better theme that the super"minis" are going through. but anything remotely looking like the new astra cant be a bad thing.

 

[JD]

:quiet:i just said a good thing about a vauxhall:quiet:

Yep same here - always goes to the error page...

 

[Herdie172]

Very surprised they like the 197 more still, even though obviously i haven't driven the VXR!

 

[Englebert]

Vid doesn't work for me either...

"For us, however, it does, and that’s why, by the thinnest of margins, the 197 remains our choice."

I personally think it looks awful. I wouldn't care if it was the best car, i'd be too embarrased to get in one.

 

[jph172]

What id like to know is why have,nt Renault bought out a clio turbo??
1.6-2.0 instead of having to pay way over the odds to get an after market system fitted!

 

[Graham Gooch]

Hideous!

On the top gear website it says a clio turbo is on the way, don't know how true it is though.

Simple.

It wouldnt be the best in class.

Turbo engines with 200bhp+ and fwd in a car that weighs just over a tonne always means bad news.

This shape clio wont have a turbo, the next one certianly will.
(due to enviromental reasons more than anything)

[polarbert]

Wheres the video? I can't see it.

 

[Darren S]

Got a test drive in one this month - hopefully. The dealership said they'd have one the last week of March.

I'll let you know how I get on!

D.

 

[JJ!]

'Unless you’re stirring away at the gears like a madman, the Renault can feel surprisingly slow, far slower than the VXR does given the same conditions when its hearty 170lb ft of torque, delivered all the way from 1980-5000rpm, takes you safely past dawdling Mini Coopers'

lol!

All fairness a very good review, good comparisons to the 197. Both get plus points against each other. Looking forward to a spin!

 

[Tyson-182]

Darren, which Vauxhall dealer you test driving it from? I'm trying a Rochdale. They say they'll have one in late next week...

Tys.
