Renault Clio V6's........
Just been to see the guy i got the Escos off, and hes bought a brand new clio V6. Never really looked at these before. All i can say is what a tool that is. Didnt go in it, and he says its not mega fast, but it looks a fooking weapon.

yes like i say no THAT fast. But i dont buy cars for how fast they are, i think on the roads buying a car on how fast it is is knobbish
Looks wise i reckon its awesome. I am NOT considering one, just wondering what peeps reckon

I killed one of those on the track two weeks ago in my Escos. Not very fast on the straights. But it maybe fun car to drive on the track (not on the road - to hard to drive).

I think they look awesome, and just as a toy for Renault to make, can you imagine Ford having the balls to stick a V6 in the back of the Fiesta? Err.. NO!
According to Evo magazine the Phase 1 V6's were crap to drive compared to the Phase 2 versions (I prefer the look of the Phase 1 version though!)

no this has nothing to do with a standard Clio mate. The engine is at rear, and there are only 2 seats in this car. Keep in mind that the engine is just behind your seats and that it is VERY noisy. It's more a race car than a everyday car, think about it

I understand that but it's really very very short wheelbase midengine rear-wheel drive. When Phase 1 was tested on race track in Poland they couldn't find rally or race driver who felt confident in it. They all span all the time. Look at reounault racing series, they spin too. Clio 2.0 in that test was only 1 second per lap slower but was very very easy and safe. It's probably the same as with some MR-2 - great cars but for REALLY good driver.

Does it have an aircon? I don't remmeber but I remmeber about some of the creature comforts being shit.. poor heating in winter? Or something like that.
Oh and every part is for this model only so if you have slight contact with armco or something like that it costs LOADS.

Im with u guys tho and realise it may be a bit to much for her. everyone round here has got clio 2ltrs so she doesnt want one.
She wants something different
trying to push her towards the 225 megane. There even growing on me.

Yes, it has air con. But this really can't be considered a girls car, nor an everyday's car. It will be worse living with this as main car than with a 600 bhp Escort Cosworth everyday...

Nice cars, get to take them home from work now and again, 0-62 in 5.8 sec, Top speed of 153mph and 255bhp. All the extras, Very tail Happy if you back off hard at around 90mph though
