Fair play. I guess we are not all blessed with RS knowledge from birth
Worn seats? Mainly recaros? Common fault unfortunately. Not so much on steering wheels tho, so that's a bit odd.
It's worth holding out for a good un!
I've seen the steering problem on two cars .
I viewed this one , it's not the spec im after but had a look .

That's a little harsh, although each to their own.
It is an expensive car to run and there are better cars for motorway commuting, but I find mine great to drive distances, the only issue being the drone that is caused by the silencer being off the car. Even with the H&R springs it's fine with distances and that's on a mixture of roads.
The only time I think I would dislike the car (haven't tried yet so can't confirm) would be if I was doing a very long trip due to the fuel consumption - although my fuel is covered by my company so hence why I probably don't mind :tongue_smilie:

Deffo not a commuter, luckily I only work about 6 miles away, I wouldn't like to be using at least a tank a week for that and its not the most pleasant motorwaY drive first thing in the morning.
I used to do a similar commute and it was very expensive, but could be fun occasionally.
Cost of fuel is worth it in my mind, planning a 2000 mile plus road trip and it will be great, I love my 200 even with its cup chassis, noisy exhaust and high revs, still makes me smile
Agreed
I would have a think About it mate this is not a car to have if your going to do a lot of i miles it will cost you a fortune, if it was me personally I would not be going for a Clio, I would be looking More on the lines of a diesel like an audi a3 etc.
All tho if you do decided to get it these cars are very fun to drive but don't think they are fast of the mark as they arnt they only really come alive at 4000 revs but it will put a smile on your face.
Coming from a 197 owner not sure if the 200 are different
Btw them seats are class making me want to ring Renault and get get some covers

if you drive it like two cars - for economy below 3500rpm and skipshift gears and use 6th as much as possible...
i get regulalrly in the mid 30s - 32-35mpg i would say!
+1 best I got out of my 197 was 29mpg and I was driving like a granny
I put £50 in and it gets me around 200miles
