NTRDR Posted 29, July 2019 Report Share Posted 29, July 2019 @alex91 its got a turbo in it , the level of fun factor increases the more boost you use and the bigger balls you have. If the akrapovic exhaust with the pops and burbles don't get you to buy it , then nothing will as you can't determine the cars potential just by taking it for a quick drive around the block from the dealership.

alex91 Posted 29, July 2019 Author Report Share Posted 29, July 2019 I don't think the rs200 sport comes out with the akro exhaust and was after an opinion on those who have tracked the rs200 sport mk4 and what they think of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safetyman Posted 29, July 2019 Report Share Posted 29, July 2019 Yep, it was a great little track car.Light, nimble and boost on tap.The gearbox is easy to work and brakes are great.It was a thirsty little tike though as I could easily chew a tank in half a day at Wakefield whereas my Meg lopes around the whole day with half a tank, if that.

They ride a little softer than the Cup model but are fine for both track and road use. Whatever your budget allows...you won't regret it. 😁 Just check the normal things when buying used and definately test drive.

alex91 Posted 29, July 2019 Author Report Share Posted 29, July 2019 thanks fellas will be testing driving one on Thursday appreciate your advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckovski Posted 29, July 2019 Report Share Posted 29, July 2019 If you're unhappy with the level of roll then coil overs are a good mod. But I've seen the sports driven very quickly, and the ride is very comfy, particularly given how well it handles. But yes, get one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsch Posted 29, July 2019 Report Share Posted 29, July 2019 If you really want to track it you should think about upgrading the brakes first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RS16 (I think it's called) also does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezz Posted 30, July 2019 Report Share Posted 30, July 2019 @NTRDR nope I’m changing from the 182 to a Clio IV.. blastphemy, but I bought it due to being an ‘auto’ and having 2 extra doors but still a very capable hot hatch. Can’t argue on the sound point, I will miss the induction sound from the 182 💦 I would keep it if I had space, for that sole reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the RS18 is what he would have meant. The RS16 was the teaser Unicorn, Clio with the f4RT running gear... Magically appeared for a little while and then we were told we couldn't have one... To the OP, if the intended use is a daily driver with occasional track days, the Clio IV is a great compromise. Some on here have modded them significantly and reports are good as to handling all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckovski Posted 30, July 2019 Report Share Posted 30, July 2019 That was an option and not all will have one. You presumably mean the R.S. 18 special edition.Yes, all black and standard akra AFAIK. There was one for sale about 6 months ago for $28K. Didn't last long! And I've only seen one briefly in the flesh. Looked good. Of course the RS18 would have been far far better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
