Renault Cliosport182
Hi
Thought I would join this as for the past 4 cars I have been on forums and always found them interesting and full of knowledge
So I bought my Cliosport 182 04 model about 4 weeks ago following a split with my long term gf and having to sell my previous car to pay for 2 cars as we just shared same car.
I knew I had to downgrade majorally I owned a 57 plate Skoda Octavia Vrs Diesel which was a fully kitted out with most extras.
The budget was 5k each and we needed to ideally find 2 cars in the same garage as we would be trading in , she saw a mini , I saw a focus st 170 but after test driving it was awful and saw the Clio on the forcourt and gave it a test drive and wow what a car , loved it was very impressed after never owning a renault before.
No real negative points apart from is hard to get used to a small space as I am used to a massive car never had a hot hatch before but apart from that handling, speed, looks, all great
So my previous cars in the last 5 years have been
57 Octavia Vrs
Y reg Octavia vrs 1.8 t
Mazda MX5
Robin Hood Superspec Kit car
Locost 7 kit car
Vectra 2.2 Sri 04
Astra 1.6
Also since 21 years old
Cosra 1lt
Micra
Calibra Red top
Quite a list and the kit cars were amazing and I would probably say the Clio ranks among the best of them
With previous clubs I have done loads of shows, meets and events met some great people
Anyways hope I come an active member and look forward to many posts in the future.
