As I have said before, I have saved £100 a month Plus+ I have saved money in running costs, around £80 in terms of fuel a month. That works out around £2200 a year.
The Trophy also is group 17 and in the highest Road Tax bracket. Works out at over £650 to insure a year when the 1.4 TDi I can get for little over £280.
Residuals on French made cars are rediculously poor. You have to keep the music on at all times to combat rattles due to Renault build quality. Due to the stiffened suspension on the Trophy there are people are complaining about this more and more..
I did enjoy the performance of the car, but it was very rare I needed to use it. I have Speed camera's on nearly every road I use to get to work. Where can I enjoy the car's "performance".
I drive into London to work, ok the drive in to work in the morning is fine but driving home, I average around 20 miles an hour.
The Polo Dune is a really nice car. Comes with everything that the top of the range 1.9TDI Sport Polo is equipped with and retails new at £13,700. I love the look of the Dune.. it funky!!
I am buying the car off a friend and I am getting it at a very very good price. The residuals are good due to the high specification, and the build quality is ....VW..which says it all
Mine is black as seen in this pic*
You can keep your Petrol guzzling beasts and race past me at 100 miles an hour.. I'll be happily ambaling along.
Another saving grace is that I won't have every chav in his racing wheel barrow wanting to do me at the lights
... becomes annoying in the end.
Having owned most of the mk2 RS clio's, I can safely say that they are without a shadow of a doubt the most underrated car on the road. Frighteningly fast with superb handling. Now however, Im all about cheap motoring as I would like to utilise my money in other area's of my life.
