Clio 200 in next series of Top Gear

[richard1]

Just read over on RS forum that Top Gear will feature the Clio 200 in the next series (about time!)

They currently have a demo for a week

Can't wait to watch!

 

[Daniel]

Will be very interesting to watch, see if they also think its one of the best hot hatches you can spend your money on!

 

[Dave Hester]

Tis a fantastic car but 20k for a clio.....fcuk that

 

[DrR]

Good job they ain't 20k then.

[Dave Hester]

The one at my local dealer is, not sure if thats the total cost of the finance etc

 

[PP200t]

Well I doubt it'll get as good a review as the 182 when Jeremy tested it... :rasp:

I imagine it will be along the same lines.

s**te build, loads of plastic, fun to drive but the driving position is better!

 

[Goodj]

It's going to get panned, no doubt.

 

[Joe#]

And that's a bad thing?? Lol

No it's all win

 

[LEEMJONES]

Good to see that RUK have given them the best colour too.

 

[Emma.]

Rubbish quality, but still amusing. Can't wait for the 200 review

[DanielJames]

Surely they are just going to say how much better the 200 is for £6,000+ less! (against the DS3)

 

[LEEMJONES]

Ive got a feeling that they will say how spine breaking the ride is with the cup on the cobbled road, then says it too bulky around the tight streets, then finish with the poverty spec interior and lack of air con with the lower powered smaller Fiat winning in its own country.

 

[Dan1587]

I love that colour!!!
Lime Green ftw, many people in here have one?

 

[JoshE]

Good to see that RUK have given them the best colour too.

And the best reg too

 

[Gorms]

May is in the clio :S

All reviews have said that the SS suspension is horrible!!

Looks like it :boring:

Jeremy Clarkson reviews the Citroën DS3 Racing:

I loved the DS3 Racing as much as I thought I would. I loved driving it. I loved looking at it. It is a car that’s excellent to drive but more importantly, it’s a car that makes me feel happy. And, of course, because it’s a hot hatch, you get all the fun as well as a big boot, folding rear seats and space inside for five.
You might argue that the optional paint job, with checks on the roof and all sorts of slogans and symbols that would only make sense if they were splashed on the deck of a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, is a bit stupid. But I disagree. They’re a laugh. I even like the warning above the petrol filler cap. “Caution. Attention,” it says. And why not?

 

[Kane.]

Anyone know when this will be on ? I don't really watch top gear as I'm always out but I'll make sure I get to see this one.

 

[Wests Renault]

look forward to the review

a quick search on google says series 17 starts on the 12th June

 

[Matthew]

Do you guys in Spain get top gear when we do? Or are they repeated later on?

 

[Weo]

And the best reg too

I swear someone on here had this reg? I may be going crazy if not...

 

[Weo]

 

[LEEMJONES]

Renault bought it from them , not sure for how much though.

 

[Weo]

Ahhh ok. Crazy not!

 

[Jordi17]

DS3 looks mint

 

[MarkCup]

I swear someone on here had this reg? I may be going crazy if not...

Was it this one? I know someone had C110 CUP...and last time I asked they still refused to sell it to me at a reasonable price!

 

[Gally]

I could swear someone had that reg aswell?

Confusion reigns...

 

[LEEMJONES]

The CL10 CUP reg was for sale on the clio197.net site so maybe he wasnt a member on here then , wanted sill money for it. Ended up selling to RUK but not sure for how much or if it involved a 'trade in'.

James May, hes an absolute bean bag sooker of a man.
