Buy the Honda.

There was a 2.2 litre version too. Known as the AP2 (2 litre - AP1) it was only sold in North America and the engine in this one unfortunately doesn't red line at 9k rpm.

My tuppence worth. I've owned a R27, a 200 and a S2000. The Honda is a quicker car, but the Renault is much more easier to drive quickly. We all know the 197/200 and S2000 have no torque hence why the diesel beemer pulled like a train.

I got mine back in the day (only with xenons) for £13,850 brand new.

I wish my daily was my weekend car. I'm getting around 23MPG in the Honda. Bad times.

Yeh they're a cracking drive. Really pleased with mine. I don't think there's much difference from the early cars. Just trim changes and drive by wire from 2006.

Myself and a mate of mine met up with another S2000 owner and his missus for a couple of hours yesterday. He works for a largish dealership chain in the south, which has recently opened up a performance parts business, which he is running. My S2000 parked by his Spoon'd up supercharged S2000...

Very very nice! You just need a MK1 Scirocco now to complete the collection.

As Brown Bear (and I missed out) pointed out the driver had no insurance in place to cover the damage caused to his car. I wonder what ever happened in terms of paying for the car?

I was on a track day (Renaultsport organised) at Cadwell in August 2009 and some bloke obliterated his six month old Glacier White 197 Cup. Rolled a fair few times, also heard that the car was on a pcp, so shouldn't have been on the track.

Looks good mate - Pity about the plastic coated leather!

Do you know that's only £3500 less than what I paid for my old R27, no.358 - brand new and a factory order back in October 2007?

Thanks for the positive comments chaps! The car is really a great car to drive and is quick. I found myself looking at this site today: http://www.hendyperformance.co.uk/ This group run Ford/Honda dealerships in the Hampshire area, so fairly local to me as I'm in West Sussex. They seem to...

Looks superb!

Although it sits a lot lower on standard springs, than the RS 197/200 does, I still think I might invest in some H&R or Eibach springs to drop it a little. Not going with coilovers this time too bloody expensive!!

Well the Clio went yesterday morning and I picked up the Honda in the afternoon. All I can say is that I think I made the right decision. I was impressed with the Honda dealership I bought it from, car was prepped as if it was a brand new motor. I'll post a few more photos up later.

My mate told me that very few Rolls Royce are purchased outright. The majority are on lease schemes, especially on the cars shipped to the US. I wonder what the monthly payments are?!?!?!

RS Clios have always had ill fitting glovebox doors. My old 182's one didn't sit right, the one in my previous car (R27) didn't and neither does the one in my 200.

Superb! Let the boys on Cliosport know. They'll cream their pants as they're Turinis, ;)

Trust me it was extremely plush - But as mentioned above it felt not too different than being in a new 7 Series BMW. Although I would say the workmanship is of a different class to the 7 Series... The wood veneer, the hand painted piping down the outside of the car, etc.. But I suppose you...
