I might be able to look at one tomorrow on my way home from work. It's got red callipers so I'm assuming cup unless the previous owner had painted them.

These are growing on me ever since I saw one at a car supermarket which was sold so I couldn't have a good poke around. I was actually surprised to find that there are quite a few gordinis for sale on auto trader and that prices seem reasonable. Evo said that it was a good car, but a bit...

Thanks for the info Paul, that's very useful. I'm leaning towards the cup really and fortunately there are more cars for sale with it than without it. There's a few around here that I'd like to drive but not much I want to buy just yet.

Paul, did you ever manage to drive a non-cup chassis car? I'm wrestling with this one a bit. With the roads around my way I tend to think the standard chassis will suit me best, even the ride in my current civic is a bit too hard and crashy. But then the cup is so popular I wonder if it would be...

Sorry, the one I'm looking at is an 09 not a 10

I may be viewing one this weekend. 10 plate, 57000 miles, cup and recaros in glacier white with black wheels (look like raider wheels). It's listed at £7k. Paul, I must've missed when you bought your car. What did you get then, any pics on another thread?

Well, I went to available car to look at the gordini but sadly it had been reserved so was all locked up and I couldn't look round it. You are right though, it looks really good in the metal and while some of the interior details are not for me those seats are gorgeous. Out of everything they...

Yep had an mr2 as well. I always wished it had the VVT-LI engine from the T sport celica. Plenty of people did convert them. Pass the brown trousers!

Nice puma black edition. Did the rear arches go rusty in the end? That's one of the main reasons I moved on but I always missed that car. I went to a celica t sport which was quicker and had a manic engine but it wasn't quite as much fun as the puma. Funnily enough my mate with the puma bought...

So are you going for the blue one then Paul?

From the sounds of your test drives I reckon I'll end up buying something very similar. Also had a puma 1.7 and absolutely loved it. Most people called it a hairdressers car and just didn't get it but by god those things are a blast to drive even with just 125bhp. My mate has had his puma for...

I'm open minded and as always budgets are there to be broken! Price also depends what whey would offer for the Honda so it's price to change really. The white one that suicide hobbit has for sale appeals to me more on the face of it but being a private sale and in Scotland makes it more...

Hi sneydster, certainly no offence against you car intended. These cars are very personal and I've noticed that hardly any two are exactly the same! I can see why the price is high but will let you experts be the judge...

That's what I thought. It will be my daily but fortunately not the family car, Sam hasn't been in my car since before Christmas. We use the wife's car for family duties because it's just easier. As long as the Clio could be used if necessary then it's fine. I should be looking at the gordini...

Okay, not recently but.... There was a guy who lived in Dosthill, Tamworth just around the corner from me who owned two RS200 clios, one was green and I think the other may have been black. I always used to admire them as I drove past. Haven't seen them for a few months now and he seems to have...

Those recaro seats.... They do look great and I'm sure they're comfy. Do they present any issues with access to the rear of the car as I do need to be able to carry baby from time to time? I know that large sports seats can sometimes make that a bit harder.

Right, paid up now! The white one is lovely, it's what I had in mind externally and perhaps the yellow inserts and seat belts would grow on me. It's top end of my budget and also private sale means no part ex for the Honda. Bit early yet and it's in Scotland!

The gearbox on my Honda is not good so I hope I'll be able to tell if there's a problem! In fact I can definitely say that Honda reliability is not all it's cracked up to be. A few years ago I would have worried about buying a Renault but nowadays I do think they are all pretty much alike in...

Yes I was going to ask about the cambelt. It says 5 years on the guide so basically anything I look at should've had it done. I'm thinking around 6-7k budget for a 2009-2011 car with sensible miles and full history. It does seem that if you're happy with the standard seats and chassis there is...

Hmmm yes Locke, that's exactly the reason I'm on here! It's really not that easy for the untrained eye to spot this kind of stuff. It's not my favourite colour combo anyway but I can at least have a drive to get the feel of the Clio. Good to know it's on the standard chassis as I can see if...
