The Renault Sport Clio 200 Ownership Experience - on my next car shortlist



  Porsche 968 Sport
I'm currently running a Porsche 968 Sport as my daily driver and its a great car - not insanely powerful or fast but a truly fabulous driving machine - the most detailed steering I've every experienced in a mass produced car and beautiful rear drive handling balance with a bit of playful-ness at reasonable speeds. It is also moderately practical with an ok ish boot and room for my little kids in the back.

Issue is that at nearly 19 years old it is a tinkerers car, there is always a to do list of things that really want attending to. I have a Caterham as well and I simply do not have time for 2 tinkerers cars!!!

So onto the RS200, I gather they're a bit special to drive but what are they like to own? Can you draw any comparisons on the driving experience? How many problems have you had with the car or does it just go to to the garage once every year or two? I'm naturally a bit wary of Renault build quality and reliability but suspect not all of these concerns are well founded? Are the electrics flaky? I'll be looking at a nearly new to 2 year old example. Does anyone know how the warranty situation has changed? (when was 4 years introduced?)

Many thanks,

Jon
