bigface Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Thinking about getting one of these in place of the other halfs gt tdi 150. Anyone know much about these or would a cooper s be a better option? Think am getting a good deal on the F1 but not sure on a Clio. Thanks for any info or things to watch for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theduisbergkid Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 First up - I hate Renaults, and most other modern French stuff to be honest. However, I had the pleasure of a Clio cup 200 recently and was smitten, if your budget is tight you could do worse than a Twingo 133 too (less power but more fun). Can't believe I just typed that. Try one yourself and see what you think. Now if they can just prove the thing won't break after 2 minutes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 few years ago now I test drove a Clio 172 cup back to back with a Mini CS and bought the clio - IMO was far more fun to drive. I've also owned a Clio as a daily hack and it was faultless for 80k miles until i sold it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woppum Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 What a great thread! I am thinking about one of these too! I dont want to hyjack the thread but can you get sat nav and bucket seats as options? What sort of deals can be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxyboy Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 What a great thread! I am thinking about one of these too!I dont want to hyjack the thread but can you get sat nav and bucket seats as options? What sort of deals can be done? Buckets can def be spec'd. Nice wee recaro numbers, not too sure about nav though. I will ask as my mate is a sales manager for the frenchies. I'll text him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxyboy Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 He says nav can be spec'd, however it's a tom tom on top of the dash which doesn't look great. I'll confirm this later when I speak to him properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
