So as I said, I'll post some pictures.
First just a little backgroung. I wanted a hot hatch since ever. It's the cheapest way to get into sport cars. I used to have a 2007 1.4 litre 100 horspower regular clio and I always liked it. But since I first saw the mkIII RS, I knew this is what i wanted. Later came the megane RS and that was and still is the greatest car love i've ever had. I drove one as soon as they started selling the mkIII megane RS in Slovenia and it was awesome.
Fast forward almost ten years and here I am, owning a mkIV 200t clio.
Before I've had a 2010 citroen c5 since new. It was a 140 hp diesel, later remapped to 170 hp. Great car, comfortable, pretty fast for such a fat salloon with a diesel engine. I used to make more than 40.000 km per year, that's 25000+ miles. So owning a small petrol engined hatch was pretty stupid at that time. The c5 was a perfect mile muncher and i loved it. But still, that was not it.
So last summer my girlfriend and I moved closer to where I work, yearly mileage was down to about 20.000 km. Naturally I started thinking about making a really big wish of mine come true, so at the end of 2015 we started checking out some hot hatches.
A perfect car for me would have been, hands down, the megane RS. But considering my girlfriend, I settled for the clio. It's still lots of fun for me, but has an auto box, is smaller and far more girl friendly, so the clio was a way to go.
I looked at other hot hatches. The golf GTI was always an option, but new and sufficiently specced was out of my league. 308 gti was my fathers favourite and i really like the focus st. There's also the leon cupra, but it's the same story as for the golf gti. I regularly ched the classifieds for quite some time, but nothing worth considerng turned up.
I started talking with the local renault dealer about a new megane RS and clio RS trophy but they also had this monaco gp already in the show room, so I also considered this one. After some rational thinking i decided for the latter.
It's a 2014 monaco GP version, used by the dealers owners wife, had just 17.000 km (a bit more than 10k miles) and during both winters it was in the show room. A really well taken care of example with regular service history, no bumps and scratches.
I picked it up in february and I love every minute i'm behind the wheel.
looking forward to seeing some photos
