Well as some of you may have noticed, I put my ZS up for sale & sold it to a guy from Reading via ZSOC. I replaced it with this, found privately on Autotrader & collected it last weekend, still getting used to it but its a whole different world from the ZS I'll still be sticking around on the forum & going to FITP & Ford Fair,etc...

I've kinda kept it quiet but gave it it's first good clean today so thought it would be rude not to post some pics.

Thanks to Scott for helping me with various Clio related questions. Anyway, i'll let the pics do the talking...

How are you finding the steering wheel (size of the moon) and different driving position etc?

is there a massive difference between a 182 and 172? curious thats all

looks good mate

Cheers guys,

Ry - Yeah the steering wheel is a little on the large side compared to the one in the ZS. Yeah driving position is kinda high, been messing with the seat constantly since i got it & think i've finally found a decent position.

I'm no expert on Clio's but obviously the power hike being the main difference, suspension and exhaust manifold and gearbox aswell I believe, also exterior-wise things like the rear bumper, exhaust, no spare wheel, alloys, etc..

Not something I'd suggest Chap unless it's an RS. The normal ones are built by normal slack French. RS models are built in the RS factory to a higher standard. If the workers prove to be very good they're accepted into the motorsport sector, so they tend to be a lot better than run of the mill Renaults.

Looks good, I bet it's pretty quick too.

I'll never be won over by the french though. The exhaust on these reminds me of my dad's 70's beetle!

Would it make you feel better knowing it's 15% Japanese?

Depends which bit, although still not enough really I know renault owned nissan or maybe the other way round. Not sure if they still do or not.

I respect they're performance and wouldn't want to come up to one in the 2, whilst it's still N/A.

_________________

I've never been biased to any manufacturer as I believe that if you havent driven/owned one, dont slate it. But this car is loads better than my ZS in many ways, I know its newer, done less miles, etc but feels more solid than the ZS ever did.

I've done a 300ish mile round trip in it this weekend and have no complaints
