Meg on pistonheads £6995
Had no intention of buying one - loved my 19RSi Turbo D but was getting fed up with 5K service intervals
Popped into the dealer to get a quote for next service (to aim for half that from an independent!)
Spotted the Clio dCi with 18K servicing and then read Diesel Car "Small Diesel of the Year - pulls like a 2.0 petrol midrange"
Worked out I that I could throw it away after 80K cos (even taken loan into account) the servicing, insurance and diesel saved compared to the 19 (5K intervals, 8 gps higher ins, 15mpg less) would pay for it!
A hot week with no air con sealed it!

Autntie had one, sold it to my mum, now ive got it. Wasnt obsessed with clios back then and i was very pleased to have it at the time. not like now.
SMURF!!!
Just went for a test drive in a 197 - liked them, but didnt even have a job when i went to test drive it (just finished being a student, so wanted a rest :rasp: ) so had no intention of buying one.
Big mistake i made, was taking my boyfriend with me - i came out with a receipt for the deposit paid for a racing blue 197!

RS 172
just as started out driving my old boss had one of the early 172's, he used to take me out in it and i loved it! then my mum got a little 1.2 RT just liked the feel and was a nice drive so after a couple of my own pieces of crap i decided i could afford the insurance and got me a 172! had it for a little while now and i love getting in it every day! couple more years and i'll have a go with a v6, but more than happy with what i've got now!
106 GTi
Had always had pretty much owned French Hot Hatches, be it Peugeot's - but they lost the way come the 206, and both 138 and 180's where no where to go when it came to upgrading as I found them both poo.
I had just sold my 205 GTi and was bored of my 306 XSi and wanted a new car that went someway to having the the refinement of the 306 and the drive/fun of the 205.
After a spur of the moment visit to Renault one Saturday morning to see what the Clio was all about as I had always liked the 172 Cup, the following weekend ended up in a test drive of a 182, after that I had to have one and the order was placed a few days later.

LY V6 with Recaros
Had just got a full time job, and I knew lloyds tsb carselect had some good deals on cars. I always liked the 1*2's, so had a look at the price and spec of them and was really suprised at how cheap I could get one and how many toys they had. Was basically best and fasted car I could get for the money, and all the reviews I read on them were good!

oh i want a new clio too. One in particular also.
Flaming Inferno 225
My 1st car was an R5 had it nearly 4 year, i crashed it in snow one january into a tree, i thought the worst and paniced and went look for a new straight away cos i didnt think my beloved r5 would repair desipite the fact i drove it home and it was fine. i didnt like any other cars other then a clio or an ibiza at the time, but the clio RSi was the cheapest alround so thats what i got, then i found out the r5 was repairable quiet easy so got it fix and sold it al
Renault Clio MTV 1.2 16v

C-VXR, T8 Map 220BHP
my gearbox in my Astra (g) 2.2SRI went up in smoke and needed a car quick. clio was the quickes to 60 in my budget. had a 1.2 1995 oasis as my first car and nothing went wrong with it so i went for the clio.
Honda
I was a bit bored of the Puma after having it a year, and fancied something a bit quicker.
Clio 182
bought my 1.2 dynamique new when I started working - out of a fiesta, corsa, saxo/c2 it was definately the right choice.
went a bit sensible with a saab 93 for work after that - which lasted 6 months until my mate got a 172 cup and I realised something must be done so it was 2 weeks later
