    About to buy a second-hand Clio R27

    I sold my R27 at 62,000 miles. I only sold it as I wanted more power. It still felt like a new car to be honest so I guess, providing its been well maintained and not had a hard life, you should be ok.

    197: The R27 has gone.......

    Managed to get a few pics of the car after I finally got round to giving her a quick wash at work a few weeks ago. Been working away loads recently so it's been sat at work for a while. Since taking the pics I have removed the silly STi stickers on the spoiler. I will get some better pics up...

    Higher insurance for people out of work

    Surely though Roy, people that are out of work spend more time on the road than people in employment.

    Single Knock under Acceleration

    It may be worth a go before going further in depth. It's common on the 197's / 200's :001_rolleyes: http://www.clio197.net/forum/showthread.php?t=11406

    197: The R27 has gone.......

    Litchy, If bolt on options were available i probably would have stuck with the Clio depending on price / reliabilty etc. The Clio's are awesome little cars and do exactly what they were built for. Hence why it was difficult to sell up. I looked at R26's before the Subaru as they are more...

    197: The R27 has gone.......

    They are expensive to run but great to drive. This is my 3rd Scooby now. Wish I could afford to have kept the Clio and bought the Subaru, i would have had the best of both worlds then lol.

    197: The R27 has gone.......

    Well, between Christmas and NY, I sold my beloved Clio. I had the car for around 14 months and loved every minute. It was such a fun car to drive and looked the part too. The only thing (for me) that the Clio lacked was POWER! Not only that, in order to get any serious power gains it would have...
