. 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...

You're definitely right. I'm at the initial stage and will be test driving some very soon. Are you offering to give me a demo? :)

It depends on the mileage and condition and would prefer unmodified. What has yours got?

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...

How reliable are 182's. Please be really honest. When I was trying to replace my first 306GTi-6 I tested a few 172's and quite a few of them had worn suspension/steering bushes and I ended up replacing it with a newer 306 instead. It may have been a misrepresentative sample of Clio's but it did...

My wife would rip off my jewels!

Selling your 182? :)

Is the 182 any better? I am quite interested in one of those as well as the 197 if the 182 is refined enough when stuck on the motorway.

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...
