I had a 172, a 197 F1 and a 220 Trophy before getting a Leon Cupra 290. Out of all these cars the 197 was, in my opinion, by far the best to drive, and yet I felt the slowest of the bunch. If there was a ever a road going Hot Hatch that actually felt like it was made for a circuit then this is it. Steering feel and the engagement on every drive was off the scale. Really felt like a little touring car on the road
Always love this gen of Clio. Not normally a fan of black out cars but this suits it nicely. Great vid as usual mate 🤘🏻
I got one as a weekend toy. It’s honestly one of the most fun and rewarding cars I’ve had.
The depreciation on this shape clio has started to slow down already because they're the last of the proper n/a raw hatches. I've got a 182 but I would love to drive a 197/200 at some point
Picked myself a ‘11 non-Cup FF RS200 in July. Love it! Especially the compliant suspension and standard seats. Much better set up for the crappy roads we have to drive on. I am 50 now though...
never to old for cars :)
If you’ve still got the car, how you getting on with it? Looking at picking one up in the next couple weeks, fairly high mileage so worried about reliability
Really love the look of these. Loving them more and more each time I see them. They have some good road presence thanks to the flared arches
I had one, don't bother. Turbo is the way to go I'm afraid
@@matthewgardner3084 you're boring
YESSSS! By far one of the best chassis for a hot hatch!!
Yep but they need another 50hp
@@Robcatist 200 is more than enough, chassis makes up for all that
I've got a 200 cup in white with a few little mods. Had mine for over 2 years and not had major problems yet. Got over 80k miles on the clock.
I have owned a 172 a 182, 197 and have and still have a 200 2012 plate and the 200 is just the best by an absolute mile -far more refined and different car than the 197 - i have got 80k on it now - mine is just me and one other owner and never been tracked - it is brilliant fun but also just a great everyday car - love it!
Had a 197 and a 200, now moving onto a 275 megane. Renault sports are cracking cars
Chocolate gearbox
A friend of mine is a mechanic at a Renalt dealer and he said the Megane RS is having gearbox issues. Oil leaks.
I have been working with Renault for 4 years i know what I’m working with.
I went from a Clio 200 to a Megane 275, both proper drivers cars. 👍👍
@@PureLeeful picking up my 2nd clio 3 rs this weekend, absolute monsters on b roads
Definitely one of the best handling cars I have owned
Another good video buddy 👌
Ive had a Clio 200 Cup for 4 years, smashed it around on the track and road and absolutely love it. recently got an exige 350 which is another level but you know what it cant do everything the clio can, dog walks, supermarkets, tips to the dump and so on...the clio cup is a pure fun !!!
Any reliability issues ???? Because im planning to own one
Currently have 2008 civic si
@@rehanali-hy9tk alternator packed up once that’s it. Changed a lot of mechanical parts from wear and tear but as a track car it’s great value 👍
Love the clutch.
Nice review
Probably a very irrelevant question, but does this have a digital speedo anywhere or is it just analogue? My only issue is it seems the interior is dated in terms of features in comparison to other similar year vehicles
I’m not exactly a “young driver” at 29 but to be fair I’d like one of these to have a bit of a thrash in.
I’m 51 and after a 200,having owned several Gt turbos 172 and 182 cups no sign of me growing up just yet.
@@Robcatist which do you prefer? 200 or 182?
Of all Clio's rs, since the 172 to this latest one, this one is the best looking one.
finally someone with some sense
I briefly had a 1.2 tce on a 58 plate (I am aware that it’s no 197 or 200) but it was really good on fuel and used to get 350-400 miles out of a tank
Amazing little car, the definitive hot hatch imo. Renault just know how to do it properly.
Owning a 182 myself these are definitely a dead breed. Last of the true N/A hot hatch. Prefer the 200 over the 197 but will still rather drive the 182. Think the prices are going to start climbing like the ep3's have. must correct you though Jamie, tax is 305 for the 200's same as the 1*2's and 197's still cheaper than the 330 for the ep3's and fn2's though. Cracking vid mate.
I wasn't a fan of the 197 or 200 front ends but both have grown on me, and lowered, they look bloody excellent. I've had my fair share of fast Renaults and other cars but the Clio's and R5GTT before it handle better than everything I've driven, including my Elise on Nitrons (because I was too scared to crash it lol). Also, they are very quick and can me modded quite easily. The thing is you don't need tons of power to have a laugh or use on track until you're more experienced and hit the limits of the cars power-to-traction.
zzzzzzzz
one of the best looking daily car imo, nvm fuck it, one of my favorite car look of all time
One of the best hot hatches ever.
This was my first car, was amazing. I might get another one. So much fun on backroads and had amazing handling
I’ve got a 197 and the way they go round corners is pretty unbelievable. Quick point the tax is £300 though
I’ve got a 200 FF Cup having previously owned a 182 Cup and a MK4 220 Trophy. 200 is by far the best as you say it’s a true hot hatch the 220 was far too sensible although a rocket in a straight line. 200 is engaging and amazing t drive and 2.0 16v NA which the French do perfectly. £300 tax and I certainly won’t be selling it
Love the soud and the ''Weidbody,,
I'm 19 and had my clio 200 for about a month now, 6.5k it cost me, 43k miles, ice white colour, its amazing. Insurance with one year no claims was 1.3k, 2 year no claims will be about 900 quid, not too bad👍🏻
You’re so lucky, if you lived in London (in my area) you’d be out of pocket mate 😂😂
@@CarlJohnson-xk1jp I'm not that far from London buddy, just the other factors I guess
@@joehodges9871 ahh
How would you compare this to an ep3 if you've ever been in or driven one?
From my experience as i own ep3 type r and clio rs200. In my opinion clio is far better due to being the best handling hot hatch out on market and being rare to see on the roads
I've had mine for going on 6 years now (replacing a 306 GTi6) and it's a keeper. The Recaro's are perfectly comfortable for my 100 kg spine issued self. Only problem it makes you hate traffic that much more for robbing the chance to blitz corners and roundabouts.
I agree about the balance between new and old school, the electric power steering lacks some feel though.
Jamie my man, I need advice. I own an E46 M3 which I just fully renovated and I'm planning to keep it or swap for another high power RWD sports car. But I'm looking for a FWD hot-hatch which I will strip out of stuff and make it a weekend B-roads warrior. Should I go with Clio RS200, Megane RS225 or something completely different? I owned a Mk6 GTI and as it was awesome for daily driving it was a bit dull at B-roads as for a hot-hatch. Oh, price cap around 5-6k€, so a bit more in GBP (as older RHD cars are much cheaper). Thanks!
You considered a mini cooper? S or JCW seen a few of them stripped out modified with roll cage etc and they look an absolute riot.
@@PIFDUDE Oh wow, I totally forgot to mention it. Yeah, of course, the R56 S/JCW is right next to Clio 200 and Megane 225. I'm not sure on how the steering feels in it, but it absolutely does look dope. I will have to dig into them and do some research on how they drive. Thanks for the reminder!
@@zoniiic civic type R fn2. Far better engine to work with and the car itself has a lot of potential. Nicer place to be aswell.
@@adampatterson4857 isn't the FN2 slower than EP3 and heavier? It's not supposed to be a nice place for me to be in, it's supposed to do corners in an absolutely gorgeous way and give me tons of fun. It may end up as a blown up without anything beside cockpit, a pair of seats with a climate control panel. Plus, JDM is not for me.
What’s the maximum age mileage you would recommend to buy on one of these ?
The engines seem to handle high miles well provided the belts have been done when due. Gearboxes are fairly weak so watch out for crunches.
These cars are awesome.
I think old drivers should buy this also
Yessir Jamie
They are great cars !!
Got one myself, cracking car, just throw them into corners and it just sticks
Was thinking of selling my fn2 civic for one very similar
does anyone know where to get the front splitter on this car ?
Are they reliable??
Better than a fn2 type r??
Anyone know where I can source the front lip on this example ?
Weeder motorsport
Awesome car. I've had 172,182,197, 200. I liked the 200 the best. 182 was probably quickest
In straights the 182 is the quickest cornering the 197/200 have the edge
Best clio ever i got the normal one
I've had a few hot hatches but my rs200 shits all over them, not as fast but it's still fast off the line and the way it feels to drive is just unmatched in any other hot hatch.
Just got mine two months ago, at 19 and the insurance was very reasonable.
same as me bro! you on any of the forums? i thought I was one of the youngest at 19 but there is a few of us about!
@@joehodges9871 yeah pal I’m on 197.net and the rs197/200 page on Facebook, yeah there seems to be a few about
I’m 19 and thinking of getting one, how much was insurance?
@@georgementessi8760 i know you didn't ask me, but how many years no claims do you/will you have?
@@joehodges9871 only 1 years no claims
It's like the car is superglued to the road in the corners
Is it bad im 42 and still would?
I would love one but the gearbox problems put me off buying one
Get a 182!
My dad has one and ever since he got it ive wanted one as my first car he doeant think i do XD
my mate just had 2 fusee joints replaced and a drive shaft at the dealer. 1400 quid lol
Never go to the dealer with renault they rip you ribs out
Yeah it’s ok to insure if you live in the sticks. But if you live in an area where crash for cash and car thieving is rife you’ve got no chance.
Would love one but In comparison with Ireland:
I'm 24 years old, clean license, 5 year no claims - insurance refuse to even quote.
Oh, and to top it off the road tax is €1200 per year...
I know your pain,when i was 24-25 i wanted nice car couldnt insure it ,now when i can insure anything i have kids lol. Got a leon cupra for a few months tho few years back ,great cars and cheaper to insure than a tdi passat
@@miki476 Its hard here to have anything but a Tdi. I've got a 2012 Swift Sport at the moment insurance around a grand which I can't complain but a cupra would be nice alright!
Renaultsport variants are genuinely so fun to drive. I had the Twingo RS for a first car. Hilariously fun to drive, being 130bhp you just rag it everywhere and hardly speed 😂 if you go for a clio rs197/200 get one with the recaros. 👌🏻👌🏻
Edit: I wrote this before he said “get one with the recaros” 😂
Year model?
The clio rs200 especially these one’s are only made from 2009-2011. The clio 197 is 2006-2008
If you are looking for a daily driver then go gen IV, Clio RS Trophy 220 EDC is mental: 2 cars in one. Drive it in auto for going to the mall or letting your GF drive it, but then push the RS button, put the gearbox in manual and if you have the optional factory Akrapovic exhause, the car comes alive!
what a load of nonsense. you dont get the vibe here, old skool N/A with no junk, just pure driving feels. the newer one is a 4 door boring car
Shouldn’t of sold this car, defo a better car than the money it’s worth! I’ve got my plate back now also 😂
I say this everytime I see someone in a 182 Trophy ... I thought it was rudeboy... Now it’s a collector’s item almost.
sounds terrible
The club sport isn't the one to get .. the standard suspension is better even on track apparently ..
yes recaros are definitely worthwhile
Define young driver? Yep, they're cheap enough to buy but parts aren't cheap and with group 31 insurance and a high tax bracket, plus a thirsty 2L engine, they're not cheap to run.
Despite this, I should never have sold mine. Best car I've ever owned.
How reliable they are after banging hard ?
Yes young drivers may be able to buy one but not afford to run one unless mammy and daddy help them 👍
Just not true at all. I drive a 2 litre Fiesta ST. I’m 21 and manage just fine.
Cool little car still rather Honda ep3
Need to spend a lot on the EP3 for it to feel half as good as these
Ep3's are great cars, especially the engines. A Clio 200 is far more capable out of the box though, fact.
Set aside £1000 for gearbox
£1000? can pick up a rebuilt gearbox for £400
@@miikyo7514 yh and unless you get am invoice with it you dkny actually know if its been rebuilt
@@miikyo7514 yeh you want to get the box rebuilt by someone like Beaniesports. That’s what I did with my one when I bought it
@@mj23bt32 I’ve got supreme motorsport doing me one and I’m supplying a lsd for them to fit for £500 and then surcharge my gearbox afterwards
Yep mine went not long after I bought it at about 60k km. I'm in Australia where there were only a few hundred sold (no spare gearboxes). I reckon most failure prone ones would have beem rebuilt by now. The graphite synchro ring teeth on 3 and 4 were delaminating, I believe it was a material issue resolved in later parts.
Never got the idea that cars should have "age demographics"... I mean they're fucking *cars,* dude, not TV shows, IDK why this pisses me off but, it just comes across as presumptuous, douchey, and enforcing dumb generalisations when manufacturers say shit like "this is for young people", "that one is for older people," or "35-year-old black pansexual mothers should buy this" - in a way they're enforcing conformism, despite personal individuality being a foundation of Western society.
I mean I'm nearly 28, so whether or not I qualify as a "young person" is up for debate, but I know there are some things that people don't just "grow out" of, and whether it's the JDM, Muscle, classics, Supercars or hot hatches, it really comes down to shared Interest, rather than how long you've been alive, because those are things you don't really "grow out" of, nor should they have a "socially acceptable age"..... As all the middle-aged Muscle car and Sierra Cosworth enthusiasts show.
Anyway, disjointed, borderline autistic rant over. Peace.
Bottom ends ain't as strong as the 172 and 182
197 looks way better than the 200 ugly bug
WHY YOUNG DRIVERS SHOULDNT LISTEN TO THIS PLUM
You can tell how messed up the suspension is. Ya`ll ruin this car with lowering springs, spacers and lousy suspensions. Most of them will handle like your mom`s peugeot. It`s a shame because stock they are really well handling.
You talk so much to a point that we i hear a sound of car 😭❌️❌️❌️
Mpg 20 isn’t good At all 🤔🙈
It's more like 25 to 28mpg around the doors, and up to 35mpg on a long run.
