  • 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

    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).

    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.

      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.

      Probably had 33mpg but mid 20s more likely as it's hard not to drive it hard especially on them B roads.

    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.

    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.
