I've had the car 8 weeks now since taking delivery of it.

Only word I can use to describe it is. Amazing.

It looks well, handles well and goes well. Everything I wanted from it, it's done.

I've covered 4,000 miles already with a trip to South of France already, just can't get out of it

Missed my 172 badly, now I don't think about it. Renault have moved on so much.

I know people see the 200 a bit like marmite, but I find the 197 looks dated from the front now IMO, but everyone's different.

Here's some pictures

then one out in Le Mans, France:

Then just a few more down south:

Stunning smooth roads

Took plenty of stuff

Even managed to board the ferry with two ferraris, including a dino.

Just a few pictures of the car

comments welcome

Amazing machine. Would love a Red or Green one.

for Recaro's

Whats it like on the Mway? My 182 wasnt really geared for it. Bit noisy

Awesome looking cars these, and not very common either compared to past RS Clio's.

But for me, it looks like its missing something, possibly a spoiler.

Cheers for the comments

Loving the Recaros, they're a must in these.
It's fine on the motorway.
Same revs as the 172/182. But it's more refined/quieter inside. Car is silent on the motorway, it's exhaust is noisy at 69/70 mph. It's strange, quiet before or after that mph.
Averaging 36mpg on a run, it's going up the more mileage it's having.
It's the 200 with the cup pack, so still got luxury with the handling and seats. Push start/keyless entry. Auto wipers/lights. Air con, climate control. Cruise control. Heated mirrors. Love it

And as for the spoiler, I was unsure on them and you have to have holes drilled in the boot for it to be fitted, so I bought the car without it and I've got the choice of putting one on rather than having it and being stuck with it because of the holes.
Think I'm swaying towards a cup spoiler slowly.

They are brilliant little things. I had ago in a r27 and fell inlove. It was a little car that i could fit in comfortably!

The only thing that put me off was the amount of revs on the motorway! I like to sit at 90 and im sure it was near on 5k rpm :/ Like driving a 1.4 corsa.

Cheers for the comments

As i said a bit earlier, I will be fitting a cup spoiler. Just that if I ticked that option, having holes drilled into the boot lid put me off, it would be stuck on there if I didn't like it, this way I can choose

Think it'll be a Christmas present for the car.
There's an offer on atm, £350 supllied, fitted and painted.

Love these, especially in white. I feel the wheels are an inch too small, looks wise, but they're probably that way because it handles best on those.

Seats

they sound good aswell.

I Bet a -20mm drop would make that look much better.

I'm not touching the suspension, I've had the cup suspension so it's still upgraded and still not affecting any warranty. And to upgrade the suspension you'd have to spent 1500-2K. Seems all the other suspension is a set across or even down.
