I was ready to hate this car till i saw one on the street in my rear view mirror, it was black and had been lowered. I can honestly say it looks the nuts...very menacing front end that puke green colour in the pics does not do it justice at all

Can someone please confirm that I've joined pistonheads and not interiors R Us smile.

The car looks great, I'm sure it will handle well and I've just ordered one for 13,159.

my view - half the price of a Subaru STi - and I'm sure it will probably give more pleasure when driving it.

Sure the interior is hardly plush - but who gives a ste about how the dials look.

Besides - they'll probably all fall of after two years anyway.

Can't wait biggrin

Same reason I bought my 172 new for 10995. Just once in my life I wanted a brand new car, but it had to be fun to drive and NOTHING else NEW compared to the 172 at that price.

hmmm...interesting to read the ongoing debate about the interior of what actually looks and sounds like a cracking car. However....there is something worse...the advert on the renaltsport website!

http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/clio200/exp...

possibly the most embarrasing end to an ad ive seen - two, what one can only assume are more than just friends, giving a high five to what has obviously been the most exhilarating drive of their life (to coin another manufacturer's phrase). either that or they are congratulating each other on their choice of hair products

That is a bad one alright.

There is something even worse though...

The Puke Green paint is a £1,200 option !!

I have just taken delivery of a new CUP200 in white with Recaros,black speedlines,aircon.
I have only had it just over 1 week so still taking it easy.Driving it is like driving a competion car with the stiff ride,Powerful brakes,Quick steering it is like a go cart the way it corners,it looks special and it is to drive,The recaros are fantastic and the inside has all you need for the price,If you want a better quality of dash etc get the more expensive model or something like a mini/VW/Audi.

This car is all about having fun driving and that is exactly what it gives at a great price you can not buy anything anywhere near this good as no one makes anything for this money.

Never had a clio or really wanted one but this new one looks like it could be a cracker, the last one people seemed a little underwhelmed with it, have they hit the spot with this one then ?

And yes get some pics up, its a cracking car for 13K !

well it can certainly keep up in the corners, but they cut the video and changed scene just as the focus was blatantly about to thrash it on the straight.

good vid though and not much suprise the much lighter car can keep up on the bends.

I think it would be fairer to compare the Renaultsport Megane 250 with the Focus, when its launched... that should open a whole can of whupass !

I have heard a rumour Renault are bringing one over to Silverstone for their World Series weekend in July, can't wait to take a look.
