    Can't Decide...

    I wouldn't buy a 200 purely for the fact that xenons aren't available. The xenons on my 197 were brilliant and enabled me to drive at night like I did in the day.

    Clio 200 vs Megane 250

    The 250 was 7 seconds quicker round Bedford than a 200 in a recent Autocar test. Must be very easy to drive in that case!

    Silver or Black

    Resprayed wheels in an ad says to me "all my wheels were kerbed so I had to have them painted before advertising my car". Do them the original colour if you're selling the car.

    Choice to make .....

    Test drive the Megane. Costs nothing to have a go in it. I drove one and didn't think it was worth the money, but if it had only been a £2.5K price to change I'd be driving it now! It was drastically quicker than the Clio, even though the one I tested only had a few hundred miles on the clock...

    DVD ---> Ipod decoder??

    I would imagine anyone doing it for free is using some long-winded method or has obtained their software illegally. Photoshop is about 700 quid, but look how many people seem to have a copy of it!

    DVD ---> Ipod decoder??

    I use software from Slysoft, but it isn't free. In fact, looking now, it seems bloody expensive compared to what I paid! Very good, though. You'd need AnyDVD and CloneDVD Mobile to do the job required.

    Thinking of trading in the 197?

    Driven one of those, too. Like a rocket in a straight line, but don't try going round a corner with the throttle applied!

    Thinking of trading in the 197?

    CTR ended up bottom of the list I had when last went car shopping. I drove a Golf GT, Focus ST, 2 197's and the FN2. Liked the Civic the least, even the not overly sporty Golf was nicer to drive.
