Mk4 200/220 thread

[Lewi86]

220 has been gone for around 3 months now,do I regret selling it?sometimes for the practicality and its looks and general easeof driving..but the 4 didn't come close to the 182/200 for fun/engagement.

any chance anyone on here can take a picture of the colour wire on the small plug which has only one wire in on the led headlights. my 200t i love tbh euro 6 but never sees more than 28mpg lol. is a working progress though

Loved my old 172. Few years later got 200T lux with cup pack love it.
Anyone in Ripon area fancy a meet/ride out, I’m always up for it

What is real life MPG like in the 220 Trophy?

I currently drive a Stage 3 S3 (480bhp) - although it returns decent mpg for the performance, it isnt sustainable with my daily commute long term hence why I am looking at these

Is this accurate?

Depends what type of driving your doing. I travel 60 miles a day down A roads for work and average around 40-43 Monday to Friday but round town and bits on a weekend you looking mid to late 20s

Mid 20s round town, mid to late 30s on a run

Should have said driving style - be quite like yourself, I work 25/26 miles away so 50+ mile round trip with a couple trips over the weekend

Drive to work would be calm/with traffic with the odd full throttle on a brief section of dual carriageway (bcuz why not!). Home time would be a bit more spirited but recently keeping it calm due to fuel costs.

Would probably be better off in a diesel but where is the fun in that. I am after a modern car which returns decent mpg but also can be a great drive - sadly my S3 ticks these boxes but at £105 a week in fuel, it isnt sustainable long term!

I’ve managed since my ghost mod to get to 33mpg and that’s driving it mostly sensibly with the occasion hoon. I have noticed that sport mode doesn’t use more fuel strangely.

I was buying an s3 until I changed jobs and got the miles.. so i started looking at the smaller hatchs tested an St tested an arbarth compitizioni and a 208 gti but I needed it to do both miles daily and smiles at the weekend with the auto for every day the trophy made sense and in standard form would beat all of them for speed. The gearbox in standard drive auto is probably not as smooth as the audi dsg but I'm race mode and locked in manual it's as really good as good as anything I've drove.

I managed 41.2mpg out of mine on the Coventry>Dover leg of my LeMans jaunt this year. Mid-30's for the rest of it. My other Clio pictured with it below doesn't do that well on MPG, unsurprisingly

Considering they are both RenaultSport Clio's I don't think you could get cars that are more different to drive. The first and the last of the RS Clio collection are, most definitely, polar opposites.

I use mine (ph1 200t) as an instructor car so lots of town driving, stop start, idling etc and I get 32mpg. On a motorway run I’ll easily see 40+.
