bet its been ragged to death

 

[R20 CWH]

totally agree and hardly cheap!! think the stig had that round the track a few times for top gear cant find any pics but pretty sure that was it

its loaded wi kit and been very unloved id avoid at all costs!!

Although.....

Dont forget that this car was probably the pick of the bunch when it came off the production line, and ANY fault would have been fixed straight away.

ie, they wouldnt give a problematic car to the press, so in theory although its been ragged, it would have been run in properly to make sure it was working properly for the press.

quite pricey for a 53 plate eh?! 11k miles too

can pick up a brand new one for similar money

pound to a pinch of sh*t .. this is it too !! .. http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/clio182/videos.htmhttp://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/clio182/videos.htm

i must say that i get nervous every time i come across a review or roadtest as my vee has a really low number, until now i seem to not have seen it

 

[R20 CWH]

pricey not worth it, even it is ran in imo. id get a demonstrator from a dealer wi the sat nav and be happy wi that and prob get it cheaper, less miles and not as much of a tanking

takes a hammering in the rs site vid link as well so thats bound to have happened another wad of times as well!!

if it was a bit cheaper it might be worth it, youd be wanting it serviced prior to getting it as itll be seriously low on oil me thinks wi that kinda abuse

i wouldnt buy it for sh*t, its been tracked to f**k at both Palmersport days, i know coz i drove it! and also ask your self why they took the stripes off of it.....

stay well clear mate, think breaks, tyres, zaust, cat, oil, cams clutch, gear box..... every thing that gets stressed with exstensive tracking......
