i never thought of buying a clio 16v, i worked for renault as a pannel beater for years and seen loads of them, but they never tickled my fancy i am sure they are a nice car, the only one i thought about was a clio williams but they seem to be all high milage and been raced to hell and back

wheres craggy hes the vts/pug 106 gti 16v man

mike have you got one

if the 106 gti only had 172bhp then there would be fur flying

well i have spoken to a few people on different GTI forums and they say around 120bhp to 130bhp depending on the year the early models are supposed to have 120bhp and s- plate on 130bhp

D-CUP , yes mate i have found that the 106 gti handle loads better than my old clio 172 and both cars are standard, it feels more stiffer and more of a harder ride.

yeah i had a encounter with a few when i had my clio 172 i thought they where a easy target, but i was wrong i had a hard job to try and shake him fair play to the 106 gti they are pretty quick, i thought nothing of them before. if the 106 gti had 172 bhp it would be well fast
