Out with the Mk3, In with the Mk4
- Thread starter peedee

Megane r26
When you see them in person I personally think they look much better, especially in that colour.
I must say I wasn't a fan when they were first released but they've really won me round.

people keep saying they are to big and heavy? I thought it was the same size but lighter than the mk3???
i love our mk4 dci90 would like to try one of these my only problem is the quite honestly unacceptable sound quality from the stereo!!!

I used to think pretty much the same as you Daniel.
But after driving one I'm a changed man. I really liked everything about it.

Calm down.
lol
In all seriousness though Daniel I was really impressed with @rs1an 's one.
His is white with gloss black alloys and looks pretty good as well tbh.
Race mode makes it pretty raw!

Looks stunning but agreed it shouldn't be called a Clio. Should be called a cliooooooo

I think they shouldn't be called clios because they're small capacity turbo, and they don't have swollen arches. It goes against the whole hot clio recipe.
Golf 7.5R & Clio 200
I have, but only on track. I would imagine these are nice and easy to live with on the road, but compared to a 172 and mk3 200, this wasnt great on track. But thats not the idea of a car for most people!
Enjoy fella. Im yet to see one on the road too, bit more exclusive club than mine haha

What did you think of it out of interest?

Epic, I drove the meg 265 cup as well whilst i was there. It was a Renault Sport track day so they supplied a couple of megane's and a couple of clio's and let us all take them out in 20 min sessions with an MSV instructor, needless to say i was driving very quick and they were still telling me to push harder.
I don't know if the clio was actually quicker but it felt much quicker, was a lot more fun to drive, it handled really well and the gearbox actually works on track. I was in the same boat as most people and turned my nose up at it when i first saw it and though what have renault done, they ruined the clio. I like you have owned a mk3 (197 cup) and now have a 172 sport. Even on the day i wasn't bothered about driving the clio i just wanted to drive the Megane until the engine on my clio let go and the organisers said did i want to take the clio out. I'm bloody glad they did and since then i fell in love with the car just can't wait to own one now.

Another joins the ever increasing fold of the 200 EDC :up:

I think its a good step up from a mk3 200 and equally a good step into fast renaults if you're new to them. The only criticism I have so far is that the speakers are a bit pants, but for me personally, as long as I can get LBC on the radio, I'm a happy chappy.

It's a bit like a baby Megane really.

Check the audio settings when I first got mine the bass boost and arkym system were switched off. You can also mess about with speaker settings in there as well

Hate what they've done to the Clio. The mk3 is too big, the mk4 is a joke. How is that a Clio? I hope they bring out something smaller in the future...

You're one of these people who would only be happy if they started making the clio williams again.
Clio 182
Yes! The Clio was all about power to weight. Look how big your mk3 is lol!! They still try and call them hot hatches ahahahaha!
LY 200 EDC LUX
It still is though. My clio is heavier than yours, but the extra power / torque means its faster. We aren't in the 90's anymore and manufacturers have to meet ever stricter safety regulations, which usually means making cars heavier. I'm afraid gone are the days of a tin can on wheels with a big ol' lump under the bonnet. Its going towards bigger cars with smaller, forced induction engines using diffs etc to get the power down.
