Hi All. Im new to the scene. Just looking at possibly getting a clio 197. I just wanted to know a bit about them. Ive already test drove one & loved it apart from the low end torque. Is there anything i should look out for? Any common issues? ie. electirics/gearbox/engine? All...

Im the driver of the BM 318ci. The Clio 1.2TCE is a verry impressive car! Neither of us were being unsensible in the tunnel we barly broke 60mph.

Cheers for the advise.. I run the BM on Tecso Momentum 99 is that ok to use?

When i test drove the 197 i was ragging it abit and it was getting 28mpg... Stuck it at 80 for about 2mls and got 34mpg Currently in the BM i average 24mpg around town and 32 on a run. Normally get about 40odd mls to £10.

haha should be abit cheaper on insurance & Fuel!! lol

Yes mate i can get insured. I currently have an E46 3 series so insurance is nearly the same.

Heres the listing mate 3 Doors, Manual 6 speed, Hatchback, Petrol, 42,000 miles, Metallic BLUE, MOT-06-2012. Front and Rear Brake Discs Fitted, New Cambelt And Aux Belt Kits Fitted, Cup Suspension, Cabasse CD Player, Full Renault Service History, Air conditioning, Immobiliser, Metallic...

Im looking at an 06 plate mate. He has just changed the cambelt and he says it will need to be changed in 76k miles. cheers

Hi All, Im charlie & im 19 from portsmouth Basicly im thinking about getting a 197 clio. I test drove it & really liked it but was disapointed about the low end torque. Is there any thing i should keep my eye out for? What are the main issues that occur with the 197's? Cheers...
