whoever says 1.2s arent fun should be shot

[TomBear]

as a daily driver of a 1.2 i have been changing gear at the 3 - 3.5k mark.

but recently ive noticed if you drive it in 3rd / 4th / 5th at over 3.5k then engine power seems to double.

ive only found this out recently and it also seems to make one hell of a grunt

 

[J03]

drive a 2.0 and ul shut up

 

[Magic Johnson]

Lol. They are fun but haven't noticed a double in power even if I rape the engine to pieces.

 

[iimushroomzii]

What a negative comment joe. The 1.2s are a hell of a lot of fun on winding roads at 4.5k + revs...

 

[J03]

lol yeah i know they are fun.. i use to drive one and i loved it. but ive driven my friends 2.0 CS and my mazda the 1.2 doesnt compare obviously..
my 1.2 had to be pushed to the limit to have fun, continuous gear change to keep the power.. i can drive in 5th and have just as much fun.

 

[Rossy197]

Lol my 1.2 Billabong i had was pretty nippy but then so is my RS182 i own now, Tbh the clio is a fantastic car which ever engine size you own

 

[The Boosh!]

i love my 1.2...

fastest 1.2 of cars of equal size etc (ie corsa)

also get alot of bang for your money with them. i got a/c auto wipers and auto lights with mine... none of the others offer that!

and they are fun!

Is it Friday already?

FLOL at a 1.2 having power. They're fun compared with getting stabbed perhaps. Not a fun car IMO.

actually ul find a pug 106 1.1 is a tad faster

 

[iimushroomzii]

^^ I doubt it.

lol there not

 

[Shorty_Irl]

The pug is only faster cos its about 300kg lighter than the Clio, and also made from old Heinz beans cans.

@ mtbtom, Ive had 2 Mk2 1.2 Clios and if you like the 8v engine, I suggest you try the 1.2 16v. Its more torquey, more powerful and even more fun than the 8v.

 

[Alastair.]

not again, why the fuk do people keep posting performance threads about 1.2s???

 

[Shorty_Irl]

Cos so many people under rate the 1.2. Im not saying they are the fastest things out there or anywhere near RS cars for pure fun and enjoyment, but give credit where credit is due. They are fine cars for what they are.

 

[TomBear]

as said before

its going to be obvious to any idiot that a 2.0l clio sport will be faster than a 1.2

all im saying is that the 1.2 when given a lil kick into action will provide endless amounts of fun

 

[Savi]

its good up to 50mph i find...4th gear its dead lol

Roffle and plus one. They are not fun. The one I drove couldn't pull the foreskin off a penis. They are only fun if it's your first car, but then all first cars are fun unless you crash them.

this is my second car and yes they are slow but if give it the beans it will fly along just nicely

 

[A18XHO]

some with sports on here say they had more fun in their little 1.2's

 

[Kerbing]

its good up to 50mph i find...4th gear its dead lol

Dead is an understatement tbh. Mine is my first car and I dont like it at all. Cant complain though I suppose, will do the job to get my first year over me.

I just lolled at 'foreskin off a penis' and bit my lip

 

[Šįk]

ahahahahaa... OMG... yet again another classic thread!! KEEP EM COMING LADS! HAHAHAHA CLASS!!!

 

[Munson]

Okay I'm not bothered about a pissing contest. They are not fun at all if you've regularly driven something remotely quick. The 1.2 I drove was infuriating. About as much fun as walking. That's just my opinion though.

 

[Šįk]

walking FTW!!!

Aww c'mon roy, got to admit the 1.2 would still be quicker than walking

 

[Mr Burns]

My first Clio was a 1.4...

That wasn't fun either

 

[Šįk]

1.2 = walking
1.4 = jogging
1.6 = Running

 

[Rossy197]

1.2 = walking
1.4 = jogging
1.6 = Running

2.0 = Sprinting ?? lol

 

[Mr Burns]

2.0 = fun?

 

[Peperami]

1.2 = walking
1.4 = jogging
1.6 = Running

1.4 is no faster than the 1.2!

 

[A18XHO]

my 1.4's alot faster then the 1.2's, faster then the 1.6's too. will take anyone out in it or drive it

 

[J03]

and hows that then then?

 

[Munson]

Roffle at bit my lip. You're so gay dan!

 

[Munson]

my 1.4's alot faster then the 1.2's, faster then the 1.6's too. will take anyone out in it or drive it

I'll walk ta.

 

[Rossy197]

I'll walk ta.

This site never fails to amuse me.... Keep em coming lads

 

[Hutchie]

anything under 1500 cc's is just slow there is no getting away from that

 

[Rossy197]

We talking clios here or anything under 1500cc ??

 

[A18XHO]

I'll walk ta.

you sir are a c**k

 

[Gumby]

I think I was schooled at a very early age. I learnt to drive in an E55 and then bought a 1.2 clio. I do not ever remember trying to claim that my 1.2 was fast lol

 

[Peperami]

Everyone should drive large german saloons. Iirc thats what cool people drive...
