Conventional wisdom. Cocks are cocks irrespective of the vehicle they are driving.

I've owned the Clio for a little under three months from new so unfortunately haven't had the chance to track it. Having said that, I never once, for a split second, suggested that the Clio wasn't a capable machine. I would have thought twice about spending ~£14k on one had this not been the...

This.

Okay, I'll agree than in the perfect conditions for the Clio 200, it might have the edge on an M3. But for everything else? The Clio won't stand a chance. Trolling again? I was debating last night and today, that is all. It was the various other forum members who decided to hurl abuse at me...

Then let's compare a modified 350z to a modified M3 then, and my answer will remain the same. A poor comparison! :lol:

Poor comparison. The M3 is certainly an upgrade on a 350Z in both power and handling, without a doubt.

Eh? No. He was simply arguing N0ddie's response regarding the M3 being beaten on a track by a Clio 200, it wasn't a response to the original OP. If anything it was N0ddie who brought up that debate again.

That whole paragraph is nonsensical. By your standards, I guess us 197/200 owners will settle for around 7.3s for the 0-62 then? Top speed is a useful and interesting yardstick for measuring a cars performance.

Anybody on this forum who is arguing against this is kidding themselves. I own a 200 and an E46 330i - the 330i will outrun the Clio 200 on a straight and stay with it on the twisties too. An E46 M3 of the same age is a complete league above the 200. If the Clio 200 is a well sharpened tool...

I can't help you with your questions but would like to say that your MK6 GTi is lush! I had a flick through your Photobucket account and your old 197 looked very tasty, too. :w00t:

Cracking job OP - Nimbus FTW. Eww, my arches look massive now :)

Tasty :)

What does the hubby drive? :tongue_smilie:

Nimbus Grey 60 Plate, recaros and cup chassis! Yes, I know yours is lower! :P Thanks for the message :hug:

This. I didn't have the choice with the Cup pack, as mine was pre-registered and I bought it based on the price of the vehicle for the specification it had. If I had bought new I would have specified the cup pack but only for the benefit of the day it goes up for sale. Having said that, I...

E46 M3 is a great shout, but as you've mentioned running costs is a factor then it's a no go, but it ticks all the other boxes. I run an E46 330i and recently purchased a new 200, so obviously find this post somewhat demoralising (nothing against this post, to make that point clear), but I am...

Can't decide whether or not I like this new 200 or not. It's certainly interesting, and the bean counters at Renault are making the right financial move (IMHO). However I can't help thinking that they've completely moved away from what is so special about the predecessors.

By the Robin Hood pub today around 3pm. Looked lush. :zomg:

The Last 200? Well it's been just over two years since I posted originally and a lot has happened. My purchase of the original white Clio 200 in March 2011 fell through due to personal financing. Since then I've always had the 200 scratching at the back of my mind. Currently I own a BMW E46...

Poor show, average 19mph! :thumb1:
