Lotte Posted 7, February 2011 Report Share Posted 7, February 2011 At the beginning of the year I became a proud owner of a new black Clio 200 CupTrophee. I am loving it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmadrid-182 Posted 7, February 2011 Report Share Posted 7, February 2011 hi Lotte, welcome to our little corner of the internet. Whereabouts are you based? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotte Posted 7, February 2011 Author Report Share Posted 7, February 2011 Thanks for the welcome. I am based in Sydney and have had the most fun driving southbound on the Old Pacific Hwy from Peats Ridge to Mt Colah. I have only done 2500km and I love how this car drives especially on the bends. My wife drives it to work everday and is also a fan. the only niggle has been the airbag indicator which I am getting fixed this week.

griffyn Posted 7, February 2011 Report Share Posted 7, February 2011 Welcome, welcome! I'm afraid it needs to be said: Pics or Ban! Congratulations on your decision - I would love to hear about what the deciding points were, and what it was compared to while you were shopping.

Lotte Posted 7, February 2011 Author Report Share Posted 7, February 2011 Pictures to be posted shortly. To be honest the first thing that got me looking at the Clio was the fact that my garage is extremely small and difficult to get into. I considered the Golf GTI and my wife had her eye on the Mini but the reviews and the test drive on the 200 sold me. I love the fact that they are not on every street corner and although not as "city friendly" as the GTI I only drive it on the weekends so who cares. I love the sound of a NA engine singing at high revs. Mind you I am more impressed with the low down torque than I thought I would be and I quite like the stiff ride and would not change the seats for 1 second.

Hi Lotte, Welcome to the forum from a fellow newbie and Clio Trophee owner. I have an average sized garage and find it difficult at times to get in/out of the car due to the seats. Just wondering if you're having a similar experience... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
