Mike C. Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Looking for nice example, ideally in the Racing Blue, with all the desirables and sensible price. Would quite like LHD Edited by - Mike C. on 17 Sep 2011 13:45:15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C. Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 Thanks for that - nice car. Probably should have elaborated though. Been looking for a cheap fun replacement for my fabulous little 205 GTi, which I sold last month. Seems RenaultSport Clios are the closest contemporary option. It's only for fun, but needs to have' year round' practicality. Looked at a 182 Trophy, and they are terrific, but a 197 would suit my needs better. Criteria: - Ideally post-'08 MY (it had various improvements) - Ideally standard car with Cup Chassis (but some flexibility) - Flat colour - really like the Racing Blue, but white also looks cool - Must have aircon or climate and recarros preferred - Nice, original, excellent, condition with FSH and lowish miles - Budget c. £8k(ish) - Might stretch to a 200 at £10k(ish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernmonkey Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Go drive a RenaultSport Twingo with cup chassis - All the toys and a year old ish would fit easily within your budget - Cracking little cars - I bought one!!! 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C. Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 Did consider that. Apparently there's a 'facelift' model just announced - looking for info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miura Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Twingo RS is good fun but coming out of a good 205 GTi, you will feel cheated , trust me. Clio 200 is a world appart from the Twingo , both in terms of performance and as a vehicle in itself. This is quite normal as there is a big price gap between the 2. PS: I have had two 205 GTIs and have worked at Renault for nearly 10 years so speak from experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C. Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 Yes, spent some weeks trying to work out what is the best contemporary supermini with the brio and fizz of a 205 GTi - and it does seem that the 197/200 Cups are the closest - bit more grown up and usable, but lots of fun. Plenty for sale but trying to find the right spec/colour/value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
