A.T Posted 11, November 2007 Report Share Posted 11, November 2007 Hi all. Bought my 2002 Clio Sport yesterday, and I'm about to put it through its paces around the Adelaide Hills. This will be my first time to spend a couple of hours "getting to know the car". I need to get use to sensitive throttle and power difference, especially upgrading from a 1.5 litre, 65kW, 120Nm '92 Lancer. Wish me luck!!

A.T Posted 11, November 2007 Author Report Share Posted 11, November 2007 Hi all and thanks for the welcoming. My first real drive was great. I was suprised how gracefully the car took the bends, even @ 100km/h plus. The only thing that would make the Sport a little bit better, would be a 6th gear. Also, as I plan to do Country trips 2-3 times a month, would it be wise to invest in Cruise Control? and if so, how much should I expect to pay. Your options would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkie86 Posted 12, November 2007 Report Share Posted 12, November 2007 Welcome A.T! Glad you enjoyed your first drive but just a word of advice - it's wise not to mention speeds such as those as you can't be sure who's reading! Enjoy her Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mase Posted 12, November 2007 Report Share Posted 12, November 2007 Welcome to the fold there AT. Not only do you get one of the best cars on the Rd you also get on of the best car forums on the net. See you soon at the next social occasion. They are worth the effort and it's good to network a bit. Keep an eye on 'emu' who races his in hill climbs and fly's the flag for us all and just keeps bagging the title everytime. Any q's just ask the forum Edit - where did you get the RSC might be one of the fellas here who moved onto the 225? Main Nrth Renault?
