Too 200 Or not?

[JayR]

And yellow..

Must stop looking at these!

Hmmmmmm.....That looks superb!!!

That would be a nightmare to leave places though.

Of course, that one is extra special seeing as I've driven it.

I almost ordered a white one when they came out, but I think I fancy something a little brighter next time, and I've always liked RB. Jer has just taken delivery of a yellow one!! He'll never learn. lol

 

[JayR]

^Have you seen an RB in the flesh Lee?

I was nearly sold one back in August and i must say along with AG it definetly works best with the black or at least from the colours i have seen in the flesh anyway.

 

[seb]

if i did buy a 200 it would be AG all the way. jsut for the LOLZ

 

[R20 CWH]

wouldnt touch a 200 as its an ugly chappie and this will tell come resale time.

It may be better to drive, handle amazing, go like fcuk and shite all over the 197,182,172,williams, v6 or whatever, but based on looks its horendous, ghastly and rank.

So, once the new RS is out late next year it will be shat on from a great height and used values will plummet like hell owing to its looks and ultimately no one will want one in a 2nd hand market so values will be shite, so much so that the R27 will probably end up worth more compared to pischy spec'd 200s.

Ever heard of the bug eyed scoob - the 200 is renaults version of that monster. It will fail tremendously cause it is let down for a crap front end.

AG with black rims is the heroes choice IMO.

i don't know if i'd go with recaros tbh... too worried about them faling apart.

R20 makes a valid point imo... I do think the overall look is not great and as such may well hit it hard.

but it could turn it into a performance bargain!

You're not keen then? LOL I agree though. It's a styling disaster, but fans will not agree. I'd still have one, but I'd always park it up against a wall.

But you bought a white FRS!!!! White is the best colour for the FRS IMO.

Not on a 200, only a 197. The closest I've seen was one of the race cars. I thought the black nose against the blue was one of the best combinations, along with black Speedlines.

LOL @ Seb and the Recaros. 30k and mine are still as new. :approve:

 

[seb]

this is why i don't think i'll ever buy one.

the 182 was my first proper quick car. it just looked fantastic and went like stink. Made me hard.

the 197 was the same, imo looked even better than the 182 and the position was superb. Plus imo i thought it handled better and went better.... (but lets leave that as my opinion) I just got so excited when I was gonig to get it. It was at the time orders took several months. My local Renault said they had one at Diss unregistered and i could be sat in it within a week. deal done. One of my favourite cars

Wheras the 200... man I jsut can't turned on by it... I'm sure if i drove it i'd like it... but that front end jsut turns me off so much. I just couldn't do it. Again this is just my taste, i am sure there are many that love it.

 

[R20 CWH]

im very disappointed with it, if it wasnt for that frumpy shocking front end I would probably have strongly considered one, but just cant see the appeal of it, despite how 'good' it is to drive.

Im sure some will jizz off about them in certain colours, alloy combos and the like, to me its just a huge let down, emphasised by the fact that their is a lack of xenons, which can be spec'd on lesser models

An improvement to drive and better mpg im sure than a 197, but sorry not a fan of its hideous front end and general rancidness.

100% agree with that, having it sitting on the driveway with that stinking bonce, humm not for me.

You'll be able to pick one up fo 2 grand next year.

Love that word. Sums up the 200 front perfectly.

Love the 200, personally i think it makes the 197 look really dated.

Just add, the are a great drive, much better than the 182s shame i can not afford one.

Disagree 100%, the 197 still looks much better IMO. Everyone's different though, or we'd all have the same car!

Only from the front .

It looks like a stormtrooper from the back (especially in white).

Yeah the back is cool, except for the bit they ruined - the diffuser.

Exactly!

I couldn't give a f**k if some people think the 200 is ugly.

I think the 200 is a cracking car,that's all that matters.:approve:

I dont disagree, i think the 197 is a good looking car. But the Design of the front end is dated. in comparison with the 200. The 200 is more up to date with the rest of the renault range, the clio did need a face lift after the released the new megane.

Never Mind Swine Flu, one of the biggest priblems in the motoring world seems to be "Renault Ugly Front End Disease" and it looks like this latest Renault's caught it too, poor thing. Must be catching.

Ultramagnus writes -
The previous Clio's front looked muh more appealing. Also, I am not too keen on what appears to be bigger exhausts. Again I thought the previous one looked much more discreet and nicer for it.

Broom Broom writes -
It's blooming ugly, that's what it is.
Where the original Clio 197 was a nicely-judged design that looked refined, understated and purposefully sporty, the Clio 200 betrays a lack of aesthetic vision at Renault at the moment, where they are implementing ill-judged designs simply in order to signal small technical changes and submit to the perceived market requirement to appear to have product progression.
There's simply a fundamental ugliness about the black nose-blob. You only need to mentally fill in the space with the body colour to realise what a mistake they've made. The wheels are the final testament to Renault's ***-up, looking like something a 17-year-old buys cheap from an Essex autonan centre.

Renault HAVE to get their styling sorted... And is this the return of eau de nil paint? Hope not - it's horrid!

I think the front end is just awful completely ruins the car for me i like the clio before. Why are all the french cars going for this massive mouth look? like frenchy like car!

Too bad it’s ugly

fantastic little fun car! love it love it love it! may not have the best front end but its ability and terrier dog attitude….. brilliant well done renault you got your mojo back!


chicken feed writes (which is a great point)
It is a sizzling hot hatch. Shame about the nose. They changed it so it would be more in line with the rest of the Renault range. BIG BIG BIG BIG MISTAKE!!! If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. The old design was complete, and I dare say beautiful, where as this just looks like an afterthought. Which it is. It’s Renault thinking ‘We’ve finally built a Clio that looks decent. Now what can we do to screw it up?’

that has to be the most ugly clio they have ever made, 197 was pritty nice seats looked really nice but that makes me feel sick to look at think il skip that stand at the world series next weekend.

its horrible, the 197 looked nice. Why ruin it with that abortion of a front end

Even i race trim I'm not keen on that front end.

Hopefully this will harm sales as did Subaru's bug eye disaster on the Impreza

If it wasn’t for the fact the new shape clio 200 (I liked the 197) is so ugly and I did less mileage it is a car I would consider.

The above is just an overview of what comes up when you type in clio 200 ugly into google. No blinkers, just general perception. Its an ugly b*****d.

R20 - They must all be wrong!

And lol @ likening the 200's rear to a Storm Trooper! Thats a new one!

Its funny how a number of biased owners of one car make you dislike a car so quickly! :dead:

I have never got all the my cars the bee's bollox and nothing else comes close to it tripe on here whether it be via the willy owners, 'ph-quick' owners, cup owners or Trophy fan boys!

I wonder if the same gos on, on Ferrari, Aston and Porka forums!? lol

 

[R20 CWH]

obviously...

however when i bought my ssangyong rodius a few people called her ugly, but i loved her, treasured her and dreamt about the amazingness of her 4 speed auto and lazy 2.9diesel tractor.

Anyone who challenged her looks was merely a r****d and I put blinkers on.

I love those IMO!!

I didn't say anything about agreeing, the different opinions are what makes a discussion, blinkers are for those that cannot ever value anything other than the car they own

That's silly. Everyone knows the 200 is a great car. I don't think anyone has said otherwise. We all know the merits of the car. I've personally made it very clear that I would own one, but I'm not 'blinkered' enough to pretend that the front end doesn't look like it was styled by Simple Jack.

Dude i just dont think its ugly, i can see the bad points of it as listed but i think it looks great.
