looking into these for my next car as they seem a lot of car for the money.
what do the cup packs consist of? and are there 2 packs? fuel economy (as long as it's better than 25mpg i'm happy :lol ?
really like the look of the racing blue and metallic blue ones.
just don't really know much about them so any advice would be great, thanks

There are 2 packs, not sure what they consist of though. I believe they give out pretty good fuel economy too.

Fuel economy is surprisingly good, I was getting an consistent 32mpg average in my 172 with some pootling about mixed in with a large dose of booting it everywhere.
Go for a drive though, if you're used to the turbo kicking in in your current car it'll not feel anything close to as fast.
Not sure on the cup packs, one is suspension and one is spoiler and splitter maybe?

There decent enough cars mate
I get 31 MPG around town and that's about 300 miles to a tank which is £40..on the M way with the cruise set it will easy crack 400.
Cup packs are Anthracite wheels..suspension..front and rear spoiler.
Mines for sale too and it's a full fat etc with all options

tbh if you want a cheaper car, go all the way in terms of a cheaper car i.e. new shape Fiesta ZS I know you was talking about.
The cambelt service intervals are enough to put me off Clio's!

my girlfriend moved in with me and my parents last week to save me having to go upto glasgow all the time so i can't stay here forever now 
deano - my mate traded in his focus st for a new fiesta zetec s, and i don't really like it tbh, too slow and shite deals on for them at the moment. would prefer something a bit older and cheaper with a bit of poke in it

60k or 5 years, whats unusual about that?
It's a lot of scaremongering on cliosport anyway.
Also agree with jr, if you like driving your turbo you'll hate the way the clio drives, never ever feels fast.
