Hi All, Currently drive a Renault Sport Clio 197 - have been trying to make my mind up on what I want next for a few weeks now and I have finally settled on a 3 MPS. I would love the MK2 but I dont think my money will stretch that far at the minute so will be getting a MK1 and seeing how I get on with maybe moving up to a MK2. To be honest I love how the MK1 looks quite 'plain' and people wouldnt expect the 2.3 Turbo. Anyway hopefully I will be around for awhile. James

Your in good company plenty of ex clio owners on here. I had a valver then brought a brand new Clio 172 in 04 the a couple of family cars then back to my youth with the 3! Get one with plenty of history mate keep eye out for smoking on long idle and you should be fine any enjoy it!

Hello & Yup your in the right place for MPS advice, so much info on this site The MK2's tax is pretty much half compared to the £460 per year for the MK1, but it's worth it
