Well I went from a hawkeye wrx to a passat. The impreza killed me on fuel - 16 to 20 mpg for something that wasn't that fast! Had the passat for nearly 2 years and done 40k - it's served me well. Only had to service it. 170 brake and was dandy for motorway stuff.

So yesterday thought I want a hot hatch so went off and got a Clio 200. Collect tomorrow, can't wait. 20 minute test drive seen 30mpg and that was giving it some for a bit.

Bring on the French tat!!!

It drives well, it isn't the cup so not a harsh drive. Looks nice so hopefully that'll keep me liking it past 3 months lol

Yeah they are nice in white. They like the higher rev ranges. Especially as they've no turbo - handles very well too.
