I had a phase 1 and it was a great experience owning it. It felt special to drive and it's one of my favourite cars I've ever owned. They sound superb, drive nicely, handle great and look awesome in the flesh. Everywhere I went in it people just wanted to chat about it and have a look. Did get quite warm in there with the engine behind you though.

They aren't fast and I find it hard to believe they have the power they do, drive a 3L V6 Alfa GTV and they feel quick, the clio doesn't.

Handling is great, I took mine in px for an evo 6 and the guy seemed underwhelmed by the evo 6's cornering compared to the v6.
