On this? I hated them, but they are growing on me I'm still headed towards a VXR or 197 but these are turning my head.

I'd rather an old shape ctr and pocket some change, I think they are hideous looking.

I like those but the only problem is the spoiler straight through the middle of the rear window.
I'd probably go for an older one as well.

I must be the only one who really likes them - I'd have that over an older shape any day

We had an old shape one and TBH it did feel quicker.
IIRC they did a test on Top Gear with the old against the new, and the old one was faster in a straight line. Think it will have something to do with the weight of the new one. So much stuff inside the car its like driving a spaceship when everything starts flashing

Prefer the older shape myself, not really keen on the new shape although I must admit, they look better in the 'metal' than in pics.

Me too, just keeping my options open.
Insurance is cheaper for me on the VXR aswell for some reason £360 a year for me and the mrs . Clio 197 is £330.
