Ok, so i posted the other day about my test drive of the 200. Before I buy over the next few months I decided it would be the best idea to test drive everything lol.
Just drove a civic type r FN2 (2008) and was really impressed. it felt a lot heavy but well planted and also felt quick, authough perhaps quicker than it actualy was due to increase in size and noise.
Has anyone owned one of these, how does it compare to your clio? on my test drives if a 197 and a 200, neither have given me the chance to experiance the cars on a good twisty bit of B/A road, however thats exactly what i got in my test drive of the honda today. So i am finding it difficult to compare the 2 cars.
The have the same power, but the clio has more torque and less weight. official figurers are next to usless as they are so dependant on conditions and driver.
I may do some track days but more than anything i love to go up to wales and mess about in the twisty's so my question's are;
1. which is faster in a straight line
2. which is quicker in the bends
3. most importantly, is there a major difference in the speeds which the cars are capable of in real world conditions or are they so close that taking both of them to wale to mess about, it would purely come down to the driver?
thanks for your input guy's really appreciate it, this is one of the best forums around for honest opinions. this will be my first decent performance car and I am being very picky, testing everything under the hot hatch sun
