I will do also meant test drive for you as well mate. Get my missus to call his tomorrow, try and sort something out.
On it
Have to say they are ten a penny round here as the head office is here and everybody who wants a decent super mini seems to buy them. Other brands here dont seem to keep up

LOL, understandable I guess. I know many guys here are slating this car but I really do like the look of this one.
I'd be waiting for the Clio replacement with a turbo engine.
That'd be an excellent car based on their hot hatch performance.

I think it's certain that it'll be a 1.6T or 1.8T - not confirmed, but the 2.0 NA cannot remain as the emissions will be too high.
Agree, it would more than likely be the 1.6T as most marques seem to be dumping those engines into them now and then there is the WRCC also and did I hear that F1 will start with them too?!

I wouldnt like to imagine what the depreciation would be on one of those probably lose 60% in less than two years!
I wouldnt like to remap the car either to increase the chance of piston 4 problems either. Rather go for a Cooper JCW which will hold some value!! Or splash out on a 6 month old Cupra R

Cooper S JCW easy call. Huge tuning market, huge tuning potential, much better base chassis, much better residuals, much better reliability and much better car. Honestly when oy drive one you will see how numb and pants the ibiza/fab chassis is in comparison
CitreonDS3R shares the same engine but dteuned slightly. For me there is only one contender to the clio for chassis dynamics and that's the cooper S JCW. The ds3 chassis was reviewed and reported on. They said the ibiza/fab chassis was smack bang in the middle of theDS3 and clio RS. So you would take a drop in handling which isnt something id wznt to do

mmmm interesting that is. I would probs not buy one any way just for the pure cost of it if any thing.

Why do you think that? DS3s are holding out better than the Ibizas in resale values.

Citroens are notorious for depreciation, im in the motor trade and just seeing the book value of these and there past cars i see this one in particular dropping hugely from the new car price.

2012 rs clio ftw ... really looking forward to seeing this car and will surely be a contender for me when it comes to changing my car early next year.
Love it!
Those seats look very comfy, those wheels are just
very nice.
Isn't it strange? I took one look at the seats and thought they looked very uncomfortable and I thought the wheels looked yuck.
Must be a lady thing.

I had a 2007 Cooper S and yes, it was a fantastic drive. However, the build quality left a lot to be desired. I have never owned a car with so many rattles and squeaks, it drove me absolutely mental. I had no get rid of it in the end.
Maybe the latest one's are better, I would certainly hope so.
My FR may not be a funky inside as the Mini, but it all seems very well screwed together.
