You can't afford an R26. This was started over on Renaultsport by **, What do the forum members on Cliosport think. His argument was that you settled for the 197 because the more expensive R26 was over budget. It suffered from Boxter syndrome as he put it, You only buy one because you can't afford it's more expensive big brother.

LOL. Funny argument when neither car is expensive.
talking a few grand, the difference between a 911 and a boxster is five figures.
He was comparing the 197 standard, R27 and the cup to the R26.

He does sound like a 'tard... however...clios are gay. Especially 197's. End of.
with the exception of the 172cup

i'll be getting a clio or corsa vxr next because it fits in the garage!
His point was I think, That for the sake of a few grand you could have the much better R26 and therefore you must have settled for the inferior 197 because you couldn't afford one.

who says its much better. deps on what you want from a car.
Say argument with the Cayman and 911.
Cayman, speaking from a dynamic point of view is a much better car than the 911 and is cheaper.
Id say the 197 looks about a million times better than the megane. It can't loose the stigma of being a fat arsed hatch.

There is a few quid difference between what i paid for my R27 (LY, all options bar folding mirrors) and Sh33n paid for his R26 (Standard colour, xenons and spare wheel)... cost wasn't a factor for me - i cancelled an order for the R26 and got an R27

Oh good, you won't mind if I get a white one with black wheels then
The topic's b****cks though, some people want a Clio, some want a Megane. If someone (ie me) wanted an R26, I'd wait til I could afford one which is what I'm doing.
Why would anyone get a 197 when it wasn't the car they really wanted, the the price difference isn't that huge? You can get a 2nd hand R26 for the price of a new R27 anyway.
White full fat 197, white wheels, climate, tinted windows, xenons, recaros, cup pack folding mirrors and cup spoiler = sex.
I bet I order that spec next year when I change lol.

You change your mind more than a woman!!
Given the choice I'd take a 197 over a Megane. Not as fast, but tbh I dont really give a ****, it looks better and I like NA engines more... plus I can just throw on whatever mods I have on the 172... like an Omex and ITB's
The most sensible thing I've seen you type in ages.
cock mobile.
Indeed, didn't we both pay £20k? lol.
The paint choice is what made it so close in price.
Fully specced R26 (inc id paint, lux) is a good 2k more however over an R27 and an R27 is itself more expensive than a Cup.
Still though R26 FTW

insurance = the same
running costs = very close to each
tax = the same
if you're not too fussy option wise you can get either for a very identical price

I don't think it's all about the price for everyone - just cos you have the cash for the Meggy doesn't mean you want to spend it on it. For example, when I was shopping for my Vee, I looked at Mk1 and Mk2s, and decided that I actually preferred the Mk1 - I know very few people agree with me - and I didn't want to spend the extra on the Mk2 even though I was lucky enough to be in the position to be able to choose. At the end of the day, for some people it'll come down the coin, for others it's just a preference. In this case I'd rather have the Clio at the moment as I don't need the extra carrying space of the Meg, and I prefer the feel of smaller cars to chuck around. In 5 years, I might need a bigger car and then circumstances would dictate I'd choose the Meg.
My take on it Feel free to slate me and tell me I should've bought a Mk2 V6 hehe.
