10 Things You Didn't Know About The Clio 182

[@Spoonie]

The steering wheel is made of grey toffee.

 

[DaveDreads]

Mine's started falling to bits in the cold now as well as the heat,
won't be long before it disintegrates completely.

If you hit 50 in reverse the dials turn green.

Well played sir :star:

 

[adamlstr]

The engine mounts are made of Dairy Milk.

 

[DaveDreads]

The standard exhaust come pre rusted from the factory.

 

[Andy93]

The front cup holders are totally useless and possibly the worst design in the world.

Nice one.

You need baboon arms to be comfortable with the gear shift.

Nobody apart from medieval trained "specialists" with ancient techniques may change a belt on them!

1. not sure but, and this is one from clarkson so it might be utter rubbish. when it was launched it was impossible to get a faster 0 to 60 new car. Could be true?

2. the tyres, pilot exalto 2 were developed especially for the car.

3. the underside and the external sides of the leather seats are plastic and not leather.

i'm now all out of ideas, but i think the pre rusted exhaust is my favourite!

Rubbish. Mk3a just feel safer. Keep it planted and they're fine

They have special windscreens for some reason, cant remember the correct reason though.

They get very high mpg for being a hot hatch

They are also keen on a bit of lift off oversteer.

Faster than anything else on the road too iirc
