Yes my std rs lost loads in 18 month looks like 220 is going the same way by current figures will make some one a good buy when I decide to sell

That's a shame. The damage to the RS rep was done with the 220t and obviously stuck through to the trophy. Strange as this isn't the first renault sport product that launched a bit poor and evolved into a great car.

I know that, my thimbs are too fat fir my phone and I'm too lazy ti read before prwssing post.[emoji38]

 

[220Trophy]

had mine nearly a year, just done 3700 miles and have to get it booked in for first service.
before that i came from a bmw 335i and a civic type r premier ep3, trophy is so much more capable than either of them, the handling is in another league, its got so much more grip and its ability to lay the power exiting a corner hard on the gas is amazing considering it has no mechanical lsd, and the trophy would push the bmw quite close in a straight line imo too.

@magic354 just tell the guys your thoughts after watching the Video iam assuming it's you

Always feel like the 200t and Trophy owners have to give it the hard sell and justify their actions for buying one......

But if you do say the 200t or 220t is a good car you're only saying it because you've bought one lol...

The 200t was to soft on the front end the auto was rubbish the manual mode is best in Race so it went

Auto does get on my nerves at times. I'm waiting to see if a trophy pops up for sale locally so I can go have a look.

I'll give them a ring on Monday. Is there much of a difference?

A big difference, it's a lot smoother. Better gear predictions.

Megane 225 seemed similar in the way it developed.

Sadly mate, I can't say I know what you're referring to!

Completely agree with you mate- I just wonder how many people who slate them have actually driven one...

From the sounds of it, this will transform your car haha. Let us know how you get on!

Owners are the best people to review the car. Don't listen too much to press reviews, not many people drive their car at 10 10ths, no matter what it is. Owners aren't defending their purchase choice, just giving real world reviews.

@DS197. was you who commented on my lap if so could you leave at bit of your thoughts on here tx

 

[197.]

If there are any owners who drive at 10 10ths it'll be @nutnutwelshman The car was taking everything you threw at it, in it's stride and not once did it look unsettled. All this talk of 200T and the 200T has got me looking at them now too!

I really like the 220 trophy. I can see me owning one at some point when the facelift drops to around 15k.

They are still up to that!?

I got given the key to a £23k mx-5 without even asking for a test drive!

 

[220Trophy]

that's odd, when I went to view a trophy at Nottingham Renault, they were only to happy to give us the keys to their demonstrator, and we had 2 test drives without committing to anything.
perhaps they are fed up of folks just wanting a free play!

That's because they know if you drive an MX5 you'll want to buy one, but if you drive a Mk4 Clio RS you probably won't haha

In all seriousness, I've had mixed experiences with test drives at dealers. Shortly after the 200T came out I tried to arrange a test drive, I was 21 at the time- when I arrived at the dealer I was told they only let over 25s drive and I got taken out for a rather useless ride along. Conversely, Abarth a week later took me out for a 2 hour long test drive... And guess which one we bought. I was also looking at Suzuki Swift Sports, booked in for a test drive, arrived, they only had the 1.2 there... But my favourite was our local Skoda franchise, to be fair, we have bought a few cars off them so they know us fairly well, but literally just gave us the keys to a brand new Octavia vRS and told us to come back when we were ready. We ordered that same day.

When I was working at Tesla we used to have a very strict over 25s policy, and it was only on very rare occasion we would let someone younger than this drive- and they would have to source their own insurance for the car for the test drive. But in all fairness that was a different price point and most of our test drive fleet would run sub 3 seconds to 60.
