New car time again! Clio 182 content

[Adrian@TORQEN]

Is there a Romanian car owner next door or is that your car also?

There's black and green there too

Having given the Clio the first proper thrash today since we bought it, I can honestly say that it's as great as I remember. On tight country lanes I struggle to think of anything that I could hustle as quick as this; Certainly I'd leave a Zed for dead, regardless of power differential. The chassis and feedback is that good, that for the first time in years I enjoyed driving FWD again.

 

The balance of the thing is incredible, and that engine... Oh man, it just loves to rev! Fantastic little car, it really is. More pure fun than the BMW, that's for sure.

 

 

I'll have to pinch it more often I think...

I ragged the hell out of mine but as you say on the twisties it is awesome. Do miss that little car.

[Roscoe]

Brilliant little cars! I want one for a bit of a track fun!

Very capable cars on the twistes. Now my zed gone I've replaced with the clio Rs 200 full fat version recaro's and brembos awsome motor.

[Ekona]

Tell me it's in yellow or green?!

I like it. Thumbs up.

 

I had a Clio for my first car. Brand new. Absolute waste of 13k. Literally everything failed on it after warranty.

 

It was pre face lift though. I believe they got better afterwards. I think I just had an exceptionally concentrated burst of bad luck.

 

I'd like one of these.

Try a GTI-6, slightly softer so maybe lose a little on track but you can drive literally as fast as you want to on your average B road. More space too
