Who likes the 200 now?

[nth]

still dont like it

 

[Sargara]

^ Agree. It only looks good in colours that hide the horrible front end. You shouldnt need to hide it to make it look good!

 

[rocky99]

^ Agree x2

 

[.:xTreme:.]

Mines lovely.. Its the best Clio I have ever owned!!! and the best looking!!

Love it!

 

[paulos]

Has indeed grown on me.

LY & white seem to be where it's at.

Yet to see a alien green one tho

Like a wart?
It's yuk imo

 

[DebV6]

I like it now, still not 100% sure on the front end but it's growing on me and I love it in AG!

 

[Jasce]

I hated it when i first saw it, but the more i see it the more i want one.

I want one that much that im getting one at the start of next year.

 

[Dyewitness]

i still am not sure on front but f**k it its ordered

^^^What spec colour have you gone for?

I quite like them now, hopefully take one out for a test drive soon.

albi blue, cup chasis, antharcite exterior, folding door mirrors and cornoring lights

 

[R20 CWH]

if it wasnt for the front it would be winner, they have bollock'd it.
The lack of agressive styling in the headlights is a complete farce. Just wait til KTR get some better headlights for it or just get a set of the GT clio ones. Standard ones are f**king dire.

 

[Dyewitness]

whats wrong with the headlights?

 

[Bartlett]

I like it looks really smart

Nice one

(Hope you don't mind me using your photo mate - awesome car!!)

 

[Gorms]

Its ok to use the picture but to stick up for renault the bad fit on the panel above the light is due to a broken clip. Its booked in but there is a shortage of spare panels atm.

[JayR]

Agreed - number 169!

 

[Rob R26r]

It's growing on me a bit. Test driving one this Saturday.

 

[Marv-C]

No no no. The 197 looks much more classy.

 

[350zee]

Like all new versions most people criticize until they buy!!!

OK keep moaning how we don't like the bumper and we don't like the headlights but until you buy it's a case of supply and demand.

99% of you guy's mod your cars endlessly, therefore a more suitable front end will be developed.

That said get saving an put the 200 to bed.

Apologies for gate crashing a thread but I do need help from any 200 owners, thanks http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=455180

Or, it could just be that some people don't like it, and never will? I'd have a 200, but I'd never pretend I liked the ridiculous front end. TBH I don't mind the headlamp lines at all. It's the headlights themselves, and the mish-mash of conflicting lines on the front that I personally think look awful.

Sorry Roy but that's a complete miss quote. One you don't own and two I don't say I like the front end.

 

[p@blo]

Would rather buy a second hand meg for similar money tbh

 

[M40 CUO]

Front end looks gash...

 

[chief brody]

we pick ours up tomorrow ..... so looking forward to finaly getting it
ordered it in black with the recaro seats ..... cant wait to see how it realy handles compared to the 197
i work for renault so get plenty chance of driving other peoples lol:evil:

 

[Fletcher]

^^^Nice one.

Liking the username too.

 

[sweeney23]

got 1 love it but no xenon lights that i had on 350z and dissapointed about that for being a moderen car and meant to be sporty should have them so that is the first change for me but rest i like gonna change tho the front seats to the recaros and from cloth to leather but love it and the looks different so like it

 

[mbarnes]

the front "f1" bit is growing on me, but that odd shape around the light, where it looks like the designers pen skiped a beat is gash.

i quite like the bumper, but would have to have 197 lights on it

 

[malinga]

Had my Alien 200 a week now and all I can say is wow. Swapped it for a 207 gti which I have to say didn't compare at all. Had a cooper S before that and the clio out performs in every department. The cup chassis is a dream, the car is on rails and goes exactly where I point it. This car is so much fun I can't recommend it highly enough.

 

[mbarnes]

i must admit. I do quite fancy putting the 200 steering rack on my 197.

 

[richard1]

I definately prefer the looks of the 197.

The 200 is instantly a good car to drive when people test drive them as the power is easily accessable from mid range.

The 197 was misunderstood by many on test drive because they didn't use the engine as it was designed.

As per the 197, it is worth driving a car with over 5k on the clock as they really do feel quicker:approve:

 

[Needster]

Couldn't agree with you more there, Rich. As tempted as I was by the 200 and power lower down, my 197 is far better now than when I picked it up with 9k on the clock. Sounds much nicer now too.

Hi Rebecca

Hope you've recovered (!)

Apparently a coating on the back box burns off after a while making them noisier......Brilliant:approve:

I'd keep your F1, bet that looks the muts

 

[gary200]

i want this spoiler.where do u get it? wasnt even an option for mine?

I was sweet as a nut, TBH. LOL.

Awesome, just keeps sounding better and better. Not sure on keeping it, I'm thinking of going for a RB 182. We'll see what it's like when it's back from the stealers on Friday.

WHY?

 

[Needster]

WHY?

LOL. Want rid of the R27, TBH. I'm trying to be good, I still want a little fun in a daily drive rather than a diesel bus, a 182 seemed a good compromise, cheaper but still fun, and still my fav colour.

We'll see. Nothings firm yet.

 

[Ian_182]

I like the car as a whole.The tests that have been done give it great reviews,however i just cant get used to the front end.Such a shame...

 

[KMB]

No no no. The 197 looks much more classy.

More like a 1996 Megane :rasp:
