Thats a straight sale to Renault
I need something for doing higher mileage in - I love the 182 but it isnt a car for long journeys
I doubt the next car will be a Renault though..........
I bought a cheap hack when I had a VX220
Its a pain;
2 lots of insurance
Parking 2 cars at home
Youll hate the car compared to the 182
Reliability
Safety
Having to wash 2 cars
Ive got a NA 2.2 VX and a 182 with cup packs
The VX is quicker from a standing start, but the Clio is quicker once you get going
The key points to consider are;
- you feel like youre in a special car in the VX, in the Clio you dont
- If you are an average driver you will be quicker in...
Yep the MCS was the other car I considered
But to get to 182 performance and spec it would have had to be a Works one with god knows what options added - prob £20k or so for a 6 month old one?
Nice cars but I paid around half that for my Clio!!!!
Ignore comments about the turbo being the much better car
The 2.2 is sometimes forgotten about now that the turbo is about - but the 2.2 handles better and is the rawer experience
But if you are into tuning and massive power, the turbo is the better option
Ive got a 2.2 VX and a 182..............
The Clio is slightly slower 0-60 tha the VX, but slightly quicker 60-100, so 0-100 is similar
Im actually selling the VX - its a wnonderful car, but for my average driving ability I am actually a quicker driver in the Clio
You can use a VX through...
Ive got a 2.2 VX220
VX220 pros/cons (cant comment on a V6);
Very very fast - especially chipped
Near perfect handling and steering feel
Looks - you wont believe how many people stop and stare
Cheapish to run
Vauxhall badge - some worry about it, I dont give a sh*t
Very cold inside...
Glad youre enjoying it mate!!
But do watch the oversteer on these - if you go into a corner too fast, bottle it and back off - the little sh*t bites :devilish:
