In today's video, I'm taking a recent carsboughtformore.com purchase for a spin. I really like the Clio 197, I've found them slow to shift in recent times but I soon think the value will start rising. What do you think, am I on to something or just dreaming?

You are right. The MK3 197/200 Clios are the last proper raw naturally aspirated Renault Sports

@julienwill3284 Год назад

Great video and you are spot on Renault 5 GT Turbos, Clio Williams have all started making big money.

@vangestelwijnen Год назад

Nice review! I love these agile, fast Renault Sports.

YES! Any other colour than black though 😆 Liquid yellow, that pearlescent red or that metallic blue 😁 🥰

I have Clio 3 RS color Nimbus, year 2007, all original. Zero Accidents, all original renault maintenance book, never general mechanics. Very good condition and painting and also inside and outside very good condition. it has little KM. Classic. That's fine with me.

I've got the same one, all stock, great condition 😎

I bought mine (east coast Australia in 2016) with 82,000 km. Still my daily driver, now with 122,000. Apart from crank angle sensor and washer pump, nothing has broken. Remarkable, and what a hoot to drive. Lovely gearbox. Currently running Pilot Sport 6 rubber. Very sticky and simply superb brakes. Uses 7.5 l/100 unless I'm really on it. Only complaint, noisy at high speed (compared to my last car, a V6 Bora 4-motion VW).

@huangjingru3241 5 месяцев назад

I am living in Adelaide and planning to get one, may I ask how much did you buy it?

@BradderzTekkerz 10 месяцев назад

I may have missed it but love the videos, just wish it would give us a rough figure of the mpg your getting from the vehicles in your experiences

@ShiftingMetal 10 месяцев назад

Good point, although I don’t usually drive them much so hard to get my own figures

@ethan_59 Год назад

Got one which looks the exact same almost 3 months ago, only difference is that I have leather and a sunroof lol. Got it for £3.7k with 75k on the clock and is a cracking car. Do not want to ever get rid of it, even when I eventually get another car.

@pescado99 11 месяцев назад

Wow, sunroof. They were not an option in Australia.

@mrmash3085 2 месяца назад

Good video mate.. Recently bought a 2007 Renault clio 197 and handles amazingly well and so much fun to drive. Few gentle upgrades helps the performance more....Great car all round.

@tonyedwards892 Месяц назад

Hi whats the average mpg I'm tempted to get one next month regards Tony

@mrmash3085 Месяц назад

@@tonyedwards892 my guess mate would be an average of 30mpg . Probably had 33mpg but mid 20s more likely as it's hard not to drive it hard especially on them B roads.

Interiors always let clios down.

@harcy480 9 месяцев назад

Agree to disagree, basic and cup editions the interior might be a bit cheap. But not the Ange&Demon edition of the Clio200 with the leather & carbon design interior and black leather Recaro seats, which is a quite nice interior to live and drive with.

All pre 2010 hot hatches are defo shooting up in price 😊 have you still got your fn2 track car ?

@ShiftingMetal Год назад

Yeah, we still have it. I need to book a track day really!

@SteezyG Год назад

Id spent the extra on either getting a sorted 182 or a 200. This is coming from a 182 owner. Both great options either of them but slightly different to warrent the price.

@NB_NB_NB Год назад

197 values haven't gone crazy because of the bad reputation of the gearbox. Made of chocolate.

@ShiftingMetal Год назад

Fair, it will make the survivors more desirable though!

@MrLense 4 месяца назад

It will be a long while before the 197/200 's will be hit by the Nostalgia wave and price rise though. The 172/182's on their way, the oldest millenials are in ther 40s now, the right age to have had a 172/182 in the early 2000's. Let's hope that they have the same disposable income as the Gen x'ers did and checking the FB groups, probably like a third of the cars sold and traded around are track builds, I see like a post every week of one being broke for parts. So now's a good time to grab a 172/182 and keep them for an investment.
