Thanks for your time and informative reply. Focus St and mps are too juicy for me. I would love to try then but I think they would cost too much to run. I will probably try a Fiesta as I drive my mum's 1.4 and even with its 75bhp was nicely balanced and had nice steering feel. All definitely...
Shame I can't stretch to a clio 200. I hear that they supported the lack of life down torque of the 197 and improved economy at the same time. I had a cooper r53 which drank when the supercharger was spooling. I heard the r56 turbo s was good on economy but maybe that is just the manufacturer's...
Hi All,
I am looking for a Cliosport but there are other nice cars out there which are confusing my very limited mind... especially limited when I am trying to make car purchasing decisions. I have up to £4k to spend on a sporty daily commuter with a Grand Espace as second family car to carry...

If you are after an entertaining hottish 3 door hatchback for a cheap price then I think they give you good bang for your buck. You can pick one up a fair one for just over £1,000 these days. They are really nicely composed on the handling front giving good neutral handling with the ability to...
I had 3 GTi-6s and they were were my equal all time favourite with the 205GTi1.9. Still remember the feelsome steering, playful lift off oversteer and snarl towards the red-line. I enjoyed it more than the Subaru Impreza STI that I replaced it with.... However, I am an old fart these days and...
I know that this is a Cliosport website but I would like some unbiased advice from people "in-the-know". I own a Citroen C4 VTS 180 which when has been an enjoyable, fairly brisk but comfortable hatchback. What I need to know is whether a Clio 197 is a significant upgrade in terms of dynamics...
