I keep seeing threads mentioning Clio 197s

[trailerparktrev]

And it makes me realise how great a car they are.

Look awesome.
Drive and handle awesome.
And yah I am tipsy.

 

[Mr Burns]

Not as ugly as a 200 either...

 

[Pete.]

Better build quality and driving position to name but two advantages.

 

[The Boosh!]

Slower....

Didn't seem that way at Cadwell last August..

More people have 1*2s and will vote for their car.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Must admit they have grown on me since they were released, 200 is slowly improving as well, as long as it's in red.

Bar the 'Faulty' Recaros

am selling mine! brilliant car, absolutely brilliant...but only suitable for short journeys...very thirsty!!!

 

[Gally]

I have to say I still turn my head when I see one!

They played their cards perfect with the 197 imo.

Think the mpg would be the only thing that would put me off.

 

[trailerparktrev]

The MPG seems to have improved greatly in mine now. I've had it from new since October 2007 and when I first got it and up 'til around 12,000 mile mark I was getting around 26-28MPG. It's now averaging at 31 - 32MPG and it's done 17,500 miles.

 

[Pete.]

True they can be thirsty but I didn't buy it for the economy and on a long run (unless it's following a pair of 172s ) it's well over the 30mpg mark. It's just not meant as a city car. I'll just have to use the missus' car for more of my short journeys.

 

[Sarah]

i love steburns one....really makes me want to get one

maybe in a few years time...

 

[fUbAr]

Nimbus R27s make me moist.

I sat in a 182 last night, not quite as comfy as a 197
