lol, i dont actually mind it tbh, its the tax free deal, and 3 years free servicing thats making the fabia look good.  13k for a spankers 180Hp car with DSG isnt to be sniffed at. 

Just looking at a clio 172 with uprated suspension, brakes, shocks etc.  Ready to track by the look of it :popcornsoda:, only issue is you know its been ragged.

Does it have to be the estate??

Can't see the fascination with how quick it can drag itself down a tarmac strip - What you need to be interested in is real world driving, living with the car on a daily basis.

Just phoned up about this one http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201050375472471/sort/priceasc/usedcars/fuel-type/petrol/price-to/2000/engine-size-cars/2l_to_2-5l/model/clio/make/renault/page/1/postcode/me75df/radius/30?logcode=p

Mentioned that i highly doubted the performance figure as they make substantially less than stated power normally.  Then mentioned that the price was a bit ambitious, and before ive even looked at the car, i have got em down to £1600 :laugh: :laugh: dont know if thats a good or bad thing.  although in fairness most stock cars are similar in price with most less mileage.  so a modded one should cost less as its 100% been hammered.

could be worth a punt though

i could live with the estate easier than the hatch, think its better proportioned plus i have a dog.  i thought it drove OK as well.

its 11 years old so average mileage.  And i wouldnt pay 1600 anyway.  I like a barter :grin:.  it'd be a sacrificial car that no doubt would just get spanked on track throughout the summer.  

I only normally drive about 300mile per month so its not got to cover distance.  this is a reason im not sure about paying all this money out for a new car that i wont drive it that much.
