I had a 3 month wait for the 200 and it was painful to say the least!!

Suzuki Swift Sport
I think he is talking about useable power, sure outright there prob isnt much in it, but real world flexibility I imagine it will be quicker than the Clio 200.
I do hate badge snobbery!

Surely it would have to be the same colour of the car? Dress code all that jazz

I replaced my mums fiesta mk6 rear bumper the other day....
The two bumper bolts had crumbled to dust pretty much, (probably not helped by that shitty carpet archliner they insist on using) and the bumper was riveted on! Who the f**k does that in this day and age?! Ford s**t! As a mate used to say!
Why do Fords rust so badly?
Do they use crap metal or something?

They were late to start galvanising them...

In 9 out of 10 driving situations, yes, it would leave my 200 for dust. It would be gone before I'd even thought about dropping the required 3 cogs in my 200 to get access of some of its hidden torque.
Now on a track would be a different story as both motors are permanently in the sweet spot. On the roads though, you just can't drive a 200 like that day to day.
Fred...I've spent a fair bit of time crawling all over/under this compared to my 200...the thought, design, engineering and execution that's gone in to some of the important things puts Renault to shame!
And no, I'll not be upgrading to orange gloves LOL, Ford blue ones will do just fine.
They did like quality mercedes, oh and BMW, oh and VW, oh and Subaru and Mazda. See the mk6 Fiesta. It'll be the turning point if it stays straight.

Leave it for dust? Pretty bold, and more than likely pretty exaggerated. When I got the R56 after the 182, it felt alot quicker because of the turbo. Once you get use to the power delivery, you realise just how much you lose top end, especially on most standard turbos.
Still, I really like these, I just couldn't go back to such a relatively small car.

Hondata'd EP3 Type R
Had a play with one earlier in my EP3 (modified) I pulled on him a fair amount as we were obviously both expecting it so I was in gear. Can understand what Mark is saying regarding not requiring to drop 3 cogs to go. IF He had came up behind me and I was in 6th, Im sure by the time I'd dropped it down, he would have had me perhaps. But thats Turbo vs N/A for ya.
Looked nice in Blue with Dark Wheels., gave me a flash, looked a little shocked I pulled so much mind

As I say, unless he caught me cruising in 6th Different story then.
Different story then.
That's the issue with the small engine turbos, great in gear and acceleration wise but at the top end they run out of puff.
No replacement for displacement.
2.0l Turbo all the way

900 miles in now so thought I'd give it a bit of a session...
Economy is improving as the mileage increases, I brimmed the tank tonight after 130 miles of driving like a granny followed by 30 miles of flat out idiocy and managed 42mpg.
It still feels a bit tight up top...as the torque tails off after 6k rpm it starts to slow noticeably but up to that point it's fantastic.
