I drove an 02 plate Clio 1.5 DCI 100 Dynamique today and loved it............it's got so much grunt low down it's great.

Whats the reliability like on these? the insurance group is 5 which is good for my insurance.

Can I pick one up for <£3.5k and what does everybody think of them? Much difference between the DCI 80 and 100?

Can you pick them up for 3.5k though?

Thats the big question

Well I went to see a dci dynamique 100 today on a forecourt.

I test drove it and it's a nice drive, lots of torque low down and it's quite nippy.

Parked next to it was a Saxo VTR...........I got the keys to that too. I drove it and the salesman told me to give it some and I was pretty damn shocked at the response I got

It was a Y reg VTR with 21k miles, 1 owner, FSH but it was up for £4999

I didn't find the pedals being close together a problem and the ride was superb. The handling was excellent, I liked the driving position and I really don't give a toss if people call me a chav driving one...........

I am now dead set on a VTR. If I can pick a VTR up, with the nice white dials and black interior for <£3k that leaves me a bit left for insurance.

Whats the MPG on these things again

I've been looking at ones with about 60k miles on the clock..........is it better to pay the extra couple hundred quid and get a low mileage one?

Could someone also clear up if the black cloth was introduced in 01 or 00.

All the 00 VTR's I am looking don't have the black interior, but have been facelifted.
