Hi everyone.
I’ve just joined the forum. I’ve decided I’d like a Clio 200. I’m prepared to spend up to £7k, but would rather spend £5.5-6k. I’d also prefer less than 70k miles. I’ve been reading a lot of threads, buying guides, model guides, etc., but there’s a lot to learn. The thing I find most confusing is the differences between the specs. Therefore, I’d really appreciate some clarification. This is what I’ve gathered...
1) There’s the normal RS model (also known as full fat), which has more toys and creature comforts, such as auto climate/wipers/lights.
2) Then there’s the proper cup model, which sits lower and has stiffer springs, has a black strip down the side of the doors, doesn’t have air con, doesn’t have an ignition start button, has a key rather than a card, and has a sharper/quicker steering rack.
3) Finally, the full fat model could be spec’d with the cup chassis, so has the toys, but also has the lower, firmer suspension.
Are these the only three possibilities? So if a car isn’t a proper cup model, it must be a full fat model?
If anybody knowledgeable on this could confirm any of the above or correct anything that I might’ve misunderstood, I’d be very grateful.
Also, please could somebody confirm which models came with the red brake callipers and the rear spoiler.
Thanks in anticipation.
