Running a Clio RS 200 - true costs of ownership

[MarkCup]

I expect you'll all get bored of this long before I do, but I intend to keep this going for as long as I own my 200 (likely to be at least 5 years).

I'll update it periodically, and it will hopefully be a useful guide for anyone pondering 'can I afford one?'.

Keep it up mate, really enjoyed reading the first review you did! It's not something I've ever done myself so it's an interesting read.

Not sure I enjoy reading the results though!

Two months warranty remaining, average 9k miles per annum, recently serviced, two new Michelin PE2s 1,000 miles ago.

Do you think I'm being overly ambitious?

Glad you didn't buy it with a loan you'd be really annoyed, then again if you used cash in the bank how much interest have you lost ? You could work that out as well :lol:

I would like to think you would get it but today's climate I would very much doubt it.But I might be wrong:001_unsure:

That is brilliant, I wish (sort of) I had kept a track of it in this way, very interesting to look at!
