Never liked clios for some reason, but they are very very gradually growing on me tongue out

Only clio I would ever contemplating buying at the moment is a v6.. They just don't do it for me frown

looks clean, shineeey and they go well enough driving

I hope you have fun anyway! (I'm sure you will beer)

I never see my self owning a french hatch but they grew on me too and after a few test drives i decided to go for the trophy (also drove a 172/182 cup)
It really is a real good fun car, really worth a test drive in.

It is in real good condition, only covered 13k, given it a real good clean and apart from the odd small stone chip it's immaculate.

Fantastic car to drive, but I can't get over that woeful interior and rattly quality of that even bucket seats can't make up for...

It was the interior and rattly build quality that stopped me looking at them originally but after reading such good things about the clios i thought i'd have a look and see what all the fuss was about, to be honest the interior and build quality wasn't half as bad as i was expecting, the recaros do help with the looks of the interior a lot though.

I originally looked at the 172cup and i did like it, if it had of been a clean example i think i would of been the owner of it now, quite pleased it was tatty though as i waited a little longet and got the trophybiggrin

The plate looks very similar to one I saw at Prodrive last weekend.

(Clio Trophy owner myself)

Can't help but think that although the car is awesomely capable there is no drama to it, its capable, but not so much fun perhaps. Thats just my opinion though. I alot of people think otherwise.

It's number 322, nope the car was outside my house having a good clean last weekend as i only got it the previous monday.
Tommobot, i can kind of understand where you are coming from on that one, you end up doing some serious speeds with very little drama, still bloody good fun on the right road though!
