1.2 16v V. 2.0 16v RS?

[Ralphizzle]

@ K1ngy and all other 1.2 16v owners!

Do you ever consider of buying a 2.0 16v RS?

Just curious... if people will make the final step of aquiring a true Clio RS?
(perhaps most can't be bothered after years of ownership and go for something completely different.)

Also to the peeps who go through all the trouble for making a 'replica'.
(dressing up with Phase 2 rearbumpers, eggcrate grills, sills and so on.)

Cheers,

Do i qualify?

I had a 1.2, bought the C2 because the 1.2 was ready to blow up.

I will go back to a clio someday, i'd love a 200 but reality says 172 first. I will probably be in one before the end of the year.

Ask any of my mates and they all say i'll own a vee eventually

I had a 1.2 16v for just under 2 years and swapped it for a 2.0l 182. BEST DESCISION I EVER MADE.

Most 1.2 owners think about the switch, a lot do, most don't and move on to another car then some of them end up in an RS later.

I had a 1.4 for a year, considered something different... Then saw sense and bought a 182

Not sure of the point of this thread, but i'm sure a large number of members here owned non sport models before they got their RS

i dont want an rs, i feel its a cop out

i want to go as fast as i can without joining the masses

naughty blue lpg itb'd s1600 sport rep. WIN

 

[Plummer]

The point in rep's is usually due to people owning the car for a couple of years to buld up NC, so make it look decent.
Don't know if I'd end up buying a sport though, theres much faster things out there.

Yeah, for the most part, owning a 1.2 over a 2.0 isn't a question of choice, it's a question of money, you know, insurance, the car itself, the limitation of youth.

But then again, some people buy them because they love ragging the testicles off it, and not really breaking the law...much.

 

[Ralphizzle]

@Marky: I was just wondering IF peeps still make the choice in the end to make the switch.

I do know money is put in the equation but still.

At the end of the day it's just a Clio... but what a hoot!
(the 2.0 16v RS that is)
