Dave200 Posted 1, March 2011 Report Share Posted 1, March 2011 Hi! My name is Dave, new owner of a RenaultSport Clio 200 Cup Trophee in black. Hope to pick it up Saturday. Previous ride was a 2002 Mitsubishi Magna. Time came to move on, with intentions of downsizing to the Clio. Test drive was brilliant, and certainly a step up in the handling department over the Magna! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dish Posted 1, March 2011 Report Share Posted 1, March 2011 Welcome! I remember fondly being in the back of a bog-stock c.2001 Magna with my mate CBR at the wheel, blazing through the Adelaide hills, 4-up with luggage. We caught up to a quick WRX, nipping at his heels until he decided to let us past - so don't be quick to knock the Magna's abilities hehehe I'm sure you'll have a blast in the 200 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave200 Posted 2, March 2011 Author Report Share Posted 2, March 2011 yup Im sure the Clio certainly can run rings around the Magna, but they are not to be underestimated indeed. In fact in manual form I believe they are the most underrated Australian cars. It was easy to dismiss an LS1 commodore from launch, and boy did they HATE seeing the tail end of a Magna pulling away lol. A few guys over at aussiemagna.com are now pulling huge figures from turbocharging and supercharging. A black VR-X is running a 3.0 litre motor from the early Magnas but heavily worked running a GT35/40 Turbo for a tasty 370kW at the front wheels. Dont worry, LSD included A couple of other members running near-stock Ralliarts on hill-climbs and trackdays and getting near the top of leaderboards on most occassions. Makes me proud to be a Magna driver when we are usually mocked by the typical Falcon/Commodore crowd. Will definately stay a part of the aussiemagna clan even with the Clio as I have made some great friends over there. Looking forward to an RS NSW meet as well if possible...?

bluee Posted 11, March 2011 Report Share Posted 11, March 2011 Welcome, I too am a recent convert to the Clios. I just bought a 172 a few weeks back and love driving it. I hadn't seen a 200 in the flesh till a week or so ago and they are sh*t hot. Congrats on your purchase as I'm sure the smile on your face everytime you drive it will confirm you made the right decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
