Economy
Value
Good price for a top-specced very fast car. As in more limited supply than standard clio, value held well. Better and faster and gruntier than new 172.
Costs
Parts more expensive than standard Clio parts, as you would expect.

On the road
Driving
Driving the car is a joy. Tons of grip, superb performance, excellent handling, precise if a little heavy steering and superb brakes.
Performance
Blisteringly quick. 6.6 secs to 60 and straight on to 140 MPH easily. It is almost beast-like, and at times very scary when you punch your foot to the floor.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems so far.
Image
Very aggressive sporty stance. Looks gorgeous in silver. Standard alloys not brilliant though. Everywhere you drive, most people will look - not always good from the security aspect, though.
Comfort
Very comfortable. Firm, sporty seats finished in leather & suede.

Security and Service
Security
Very good. Thatcham Cat 1 alarm & immobiliser as standard, with remote central locking.
Service
Unable to rate as of yet, but may require new tyres soon!
