CLIO IV RS - Trophy from page 111

[Munson]

Because not high revving NA race car.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Yeah I thought the Williams was a bit s**t TBH. Overrated.

One colour and silly gold wheels,.

 

[msa197]

One colour and silly gold wheels,.

That's was the Williams, meant to be a set number of thing 500 cars!
Then renault come out with Williams 2 & 3!

 

[Lal B3N]

Looks great parked next to that Megane.

Can't wait to see one in the flesh and drive one.

I think its going to be a great car.

 

[BREMBO]

Harris has driven it

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

A good quick read a bit worrying it isnt filled with out and out praise.. Wonder if the Clio has lost its class leading edge in terms of ultimate driving experience.

 

[Šįk]

I think it looks brilliant, Going to be an epic car!

WANT.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Horribly superficial I know, but shouldn't a Clio RS should look tougher than this?

 

[The Boosh!]

Horribly superficial I know, but shouldn't a Clio RS should look tougher than this?

Like a Clio 200 does, for example? LOL

 

[Tony Hunter]

Only quoting everybody's God, that arris bloke.

 

[Munson]

I think Grandad was referring to the rather haphazardly put-together sentence by Lord Harris.

 

[Ade T]

5 door.... CRUD

Got it in one. Pop's.

Should have gone to Specsavers.

 

[MarkCup]

Well, the spec I want comes in north of 22 big ones. Slightly insane to even consider that but recent events have made me realise life can be far too short, so it is likely to happen as long as the test drive doesn't leave me feeling cold.

Given the fact I should consider all serious alternatives, apart from the Fiesta ST, what else should I be looking at getting a ride in to see of it stirs my soul/makes me fizz more than the 200 EDC?

Focus ST? Be a base spec @ 22k though.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

CEE'D?

 

[MarkCup]

Focus ST? Be a base spec @ 22k though.

Would want a decent top end spec for the £22k. I can justify buying one if I keep it for a long time like I did with my 172 Cup, so whatever I buy needs enough creature comforts and gizmos to keep me entertained, comfortable and happy.

Will look at Focus/Megane and similar sized motors but if they're base spec, I'm not really interested. I have the Scenic when space is needed.

 

[Jaff.]

I'm really tempted with a new st estate. In blue they are a very pretty car!

Why buy when you can PCP? Genuine question...

Sell the 200, money into bank for rainy day / future, one monthly DD for new car, after 3 years repeat

With PCP you're paying new car 'depreciation' for 3 years. Rinse and repeat. New car 'depreciation' ad infinitum. I don't like monthly charges...would rather pay in a lump instead of having something bleeding out of my account for month after month after month.

Not fussed about having something new every 3 years, and not having the capital in the bank isn't of major concern. I like to own things...an odd concept I know...and so long as I think I'd be happy in something for a long time (I'd have managed far more than 8 years in my 172 Cup if I'd not ruined it) I'm happy buying and owning it outright.

 

[DrR]

Fancy buying a year old focus ST off me in a year, be £14k.

 

[MarkCup]

LOL, no thanks. The only new car I've had (my 172 Cup) was driven 300 miles before being delivered to me at my place of work late one Friday night.

I want something new with collection from a dealer. I have to do that once in my life.

 

[DrR]

I'm the same! Got to happen.

 

[The Boosh!]

Can't beat it!

 

[Chris Lewis]

What options are you going for that amount to 22k total if you don't mind me asking?

 

[MarkCup]

What I have in mind is;

Lux pack
Monitor
Leather
Heated seats
Rear camera
Cup chassis

So have you actually bought one or are we going to see 12727 more threads and comments about what you might buy?

Would you have got recaros if there was an option?

Nope.

Lol fair one!

 

[Matt26]

I don't like it much at the moment. They usually grow on me though.

AutoCar's Video review RS200T VS GT86

Doesn't come off all that great and once again the Gearbox "command --> Execution" has come up and described as "slow"

 

[Matthew]

"Not as good as the GT86".

 

[Gally]

Ah like the video of it chasing a Focus RS. Yeah cracking comparison. Bravo.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Seems like an odd comparison.

 

[Matthew]

Both drivers cars are they not?

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

I can't even finish watching that video, that man has shorts on.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Both drivers cars are they not?

Maybe the case but the new Peugeot 308 GTi is a drivers car, a more humble rival - not a rear wheel drive coupe?

 

[Jaff.]

FLOL at the engine noises!

gt86 sounds ok.

clio sounds like an electric car, unless you're inside in which case it sounds monstrous!
