anyone owned or drove renault clio 197

[vxrturbo]

as above really looking for a smaller hot hatch for the wife, came across a few on autotrader and did not really know much about them....looked at corsa vxr's but too many problems with them from the looks of things

[vxrturbo]

There good looking car on out side, minging inside. Mrs went test drive one as corsa vxrs lil high for budget. There nippy things. Go test drive one at renualt garage.

[vxrturbo]

thanks mate ill go take a look, all renaults insideare the same, cheap and nasty lol what did you end up buying then?

[beefycol]

She thinking of keeping her tigra 1.8 exclusiv for now lol. She loves it to much to let it go.

She just gonna build her savings up, as she wants to go to a vw scrirrco 2L turbo. Drove one of them, corsa vxr, and clio... She likes all of them as sporty and quick but disliked the clio the most. They are worth the money tho.

[vxrturbo]

cool thanks for the info

she only needs it to go work and back about 10 miles a day so will see what else we can get for a 6k budget
