....place. I am the proud owner of a clio 182, now 18 months old. It is rather underpowered, but quite fun. Nothing has fallen off yet, which is quite a surprise
Runs on cooking petrol, I'm too mean to pay a quid a litre for BP sooper unleaded which appears to make no difference.
Living in darkest West Cumbria means that there aren't many speed cameras (you can tell where they are, a crowd of locals gather to look at the magic lights), and loads of roads where you can drive like a loon at perfectly legal speeds - Wrynose, Corney and Cold Fell are all to be recommended.
The Clio replaced a Subaru, and though slower and sloppier, is more rewarding to drive, and only eats tyres two at a time.
The only negative is the horrible clunks that come from the transmission on full lock "Oh, they all do that, perfectly normal", says my local dealer, who is so awful (I suppose I'm not allowed to say they are shite), they can't even lie convincingly.
I look forward to the 200hp version, but I think I'll be disappointed as its way lardier....
