I've gone from a 450bhp astra VXR to my 2011 clio rs200 cup, it's not the greatest in a straight line but it's not a slow car by any means, it's so much more rewarding and fun in the corners, I don't regret getting mine at all. I love it
I do like the meganes, but the whole time I had my astra I always said to myself, I really like those 197/200 clios and always considered getting one, it's been a car iv looked at for a while.
I'm looking forward to the usable power, been able to exit a corner and lay all 197bhp down rather than exciting it the corner and spinning 2nd, spinning 3rd and scratting for grip in 4th. It was fun but silly at the same time,
Great, another car with a crap box, the m32 in the VXR I had replaced under warranty when it was standard.
what are the signs of the box going and what's it cost to repair?
I can understand the clio not keeping up with all the videos being single gear pulls from low revs apart from the last. low down torque in a N/A car is nothing like it is In a turbod car,
The fastest N/A car iv had was a Saxo VTS years ago. I loved it to be fair, just got a horrid name now.
I'm just hoping it's gonna be a nice reliable fun car for a few years, the astra required a second car cos it was no way an every day car, I know these clios aren't the best of cars on fuel...
Haha. I only checked on the off chance to see what they had. It's everything I wanted in a clio, wish it had recaros but iv seen a lot of recaros wearing quickly?
Thanks mate
Paul and Specky at RS tuning, I'm sure you renault boys know of them ha
im sure I'll enjoy it. Im gonna be searching the forums all night searching for things to do
was banned from VXRO but luckily it's on astra owners network too...
Hey, just singed up today having bought a 2011 Clio RS200 in white, deposit is down, eagerly waiting next weekend to pick it up :D
I used to own a 452bhp Astra VXR, was a great car but I suppose like anything you fancy a change, iv gone for the clio as iv always been a fan of the 172's 182's...
