It's funny how cars styling grow on you, when it first arrived I didn't like it but now it's unique look is very cool by today's bland standards. Also if you love a car it doesn't matter what you spend on it. It's a hobby and you get personal satisfaction on what you create.
Window regulator is a £30 fix if you can do it yourself. Really easy job. Plenty of guides on here.
I had one of these. I have an M3 now. I still think it's awesome. I might still buy another, they are fabulous.
Jay , why don't you put specs of the cars you review in description. It would be really nice.
What a great car. Truly a worthy competitor to the venerable GTI hot hatch.
They called this edition the R26 and then they also released a special edition Clio that was called the R27. They wanted to link it to the winning R25 as you pointed out Jay.
Had one a few years ago, I miss it daily, great car. Plenty fast enough and great fun going round roundabouts with the LSD.
One day it hit me. I absolutely loved the styling on these, they really are for me from the golden age of hot hatch styling
One of my dream cars, in mega track rat spec
I have one of these as a track car as per my vids. I bought it as it was much cheaper than taking my RS to the Nürburgring and ended up using it on loads of track days. Great cars.
Just did a spur of the moment 3600km trip in my 225 Meg and it handled it really well. Interesting and engaging to drive and lively enough to keep such a drive entertaining while still doing 7.6l/100km.
Was taken rounds Brands Hatch in this one by its owner, lovely car. Performs sooo well 👍🏼
Had the RS200 Clio 3rd gen best little hot hatch ever.Try one jay you'll love it just revs and revs and the handling is awesome.Was gutted to sell mine would love another in ultra red with black trim
RenaultSport just make damm good cars. Nothing fancy but does the good things very well.
These look ace. Will be a long time before these look dated.
We still have ours in liquid yellow, one owner from new, not messed around with, no track days, dealer serviced with only 30K on the clock. And no it's not for sale!
Slightly unorthodox yet impressive drivers car, succinct interesting review 👍
Nice car! Would like to hear what you think of the FN2 Type R in comparison. Most reviews just talk about the suspension not being as sophisticated as it's predecessor but it'd be interesting to hear an objective opinion of how it stacks up today (on a cost/space/reliability/performance balance). I suspect the reviews of the time criticising the harsh ride to be quite true but back when it was launched cars tended to ride softer - is it still that bad with the perspective we have now in 2019?
Had two megane 225’s (one a cup and one a trophy, the first megane 225 with the cup suspension) two Clio 197’s (one a normal bog standard and one an r27, first 197 with cup suspension) and I’m currently on my second clio 182, this time a 182 cup, I think if you can get past the electrical faults the 182 is the pick of the bunch, plenty quick enough, light, nimble, absurdly cheap to buy and run, pottering around town my 182 cup hovers around 33 and on the motorway if I’m not in a rush 40mpg is comfortably manageable, (obviously if driving a bit more spirited that can quickly fall to low 20’s). Only ever had electric issues on my 6 Renaultsport cars (apart from a rack dying on my 225 cup) and I’ve used them all daily! If you get a chance, have a go in a 172/182, hilariously fun, even despite the awful driving position
Great review and great car
