182 to v6?

[VIICarCare]

Hey peoples,i have had my 182 for 3 months now,previouse car was an 05 plate 1.2 clio dynamique from new passing my test. This is my third year driving, but i truely want a black v6! I had to get the 2.0 first as insurance for that is rather high,but by the time i am old enough to ensure the v6 they will be old and ragged! I adore clio's,as much as i love my 182 its not the real thing compared to the v6.

 

[LegoHead]

Forget the V6, buy another 182, 5 seats, handles better,quicker, it's black and has a turbo.....

cheaper too.

 

[Dash]

Well I tend to disagree with you over one point. Your 182 is the real thing. Not an entirely better car, but the v6 is just a totally different car.

Have you done any test insurance quotes yet?

Oh and be careful with the black v6s they are much faster.

 

[DrR]

Define real thing? As the 182 trophy was in evo's "cars that uped the mark"

 

[AliasOmega]

V6's are for gays...

well its true, gays cant have kids...therefore no need for the rear seats..

Each to there own though I prefere all the other 172/182's than the trophy.

 

[makavelli]

i dont really get the whole v6 thing i prefer the 182 and when i move up to something better it wont be a v6

 

[LegoHead]

From what I hear the V6 is very unforgiving with the handling.

sinking moment? what happened?

 

[cat171]

You can't even put a v6 & a 182 in the same category tbh, sure thay are both clios, but thats where it ends.

 

[VIICarCare]

thanks for ur thoughts guys

That sums it up pretty well, I think. Oh, and the dash looks very similar too.

he got it stuck in a pond, after returning from a dogging hotspot

I've never liked the V6 looks. Up close, the detailing is bad - horrid shut lines and all very plastic feeling. I've not driven one though. I'm sure they are great

they were hand built (well the mk1 was, not sure of the mk2) so I guess you've seen a few sh*t ones.

Arent all sports handbuilt?

 

[Gweebs]

You should speak to Subway. He's pretty much taken the route you want to...

I don't think they are. The vee was made in a different factory too.

 

[riz]

imo a V6 is a one-off wonder car, ok its a REnault but its a midengined V6 in a Clio, Evo has said it is a car you must drive and own if u have any other supercars. you cannot compare it to a 182, it's not like a 330 and an M3, It's a modern day classic like the 406 coupe and M3. Cars like the F40 are truly great cars and have s**t body panels etc, every car has it's niggles iinspite of being regarded as a classic.

So far they've all looked the same to me. I think the bodykit fits like a cheap wig. Horrible details and bulges around the lights that simply look like an ebay kit

 

[ja.jack]

Tonka-Toy springs to mind.

 

[edde]

The V6 as said is a different type of car its not as bad built as people have made out on here.

 

[cat171]

Well said edde, the build quality on mine is fine, mo shoddy panel gaps etc, i'm really happy with it.
I guess at the end of the day it depends on who built it though.

Exactly hand built car the build is on the whole better than the normal cars they can be more variation though.

 

[Munson]

LoL @ hand built. 99% of all trim & final in car plants is hand fitted anyway

It's no doubt a great car, but the bodykit doesn't fit too well and it's nowt to do with who builds it

 

[Ricardinho]

im thinking the same as i have a 182 which ive had nearly 2 months yet i feel i need something abit more fun, ive got my van for work so clio dont get used too much

 

[Michael172]

i dont really get the whole v6 thing i prefer the 182 and when i move up to something better it wont be a v6

cant justify spending £20k on a blooddy Clio.

dont bother. stick with your 182 and modify it. or. save up and buy a real car/

 

[cat171]

You haven't got to spend 20k on one !

 

[ja.jack]

Summer is here so get a bike, cant get more fun than R1, Blade,GSXR, ect.

 

[Revels]

lol, spot the person whos just got a V6 and is going to defend it til the cows come home..

Car is OK I suppose.

Keyrings are a nice too.

 

[cat171]

:rasp: @ revels
I've always wanted one, and now i've got it i'm very happy. I'll only sell it for a rare coloured mk2.
With the v6 you either get the idea & want one, or you don't !

 

[Peperami]

I'll defend the v6 too! They are awesome cars.

I was a huge critic until i had a go in a few, and its sooo not a clio. Doesnt feel like one, doesnt go like one, genuinly feels like you're sat in a big money supercar.

 

[ja.jack]

Have you put a big wedge aside for running it,cat?
