Id like to find a 1.6 and dci 100 to test drive, but it's finding a couple, 1.6 isn't to hard but I've had a look about and the 100's seem abit hard to come by. My Mum owns a MK3 1.5 106bhp dci SX, which I've driven and is quite a fun little drive, with plenty of power for what I'm looking for...

f**king loads mate, lol

Can we not turn this into an argument over which is better, im looking for decent advise based on day to day use and what, for a student of 19 would get more from.

surely a dci 100 remapped would be quicker than a standard 1.6?

to be honest the idea of having power from a 1.5 80 or 100 and being able to remap and gain so much power to but still having better fuel economy is a win for me over the 1.6 petrol tbh atm.

But what's your's fuel like? My 1.2 is shocking If I give it beans.

The 1.6 does sound like it might be fun, I guess not ever having a diesel I don't know what to expect, But to be honest the fuel consumption on the 1.6 to a 80 or 100 dci is probably the selling point for me at the moment.

Dci 80 a better bet?

Is that a problem? :rasp:

Cost my about £200 all in all, great sounding too.

Ok thanks for the advice again guys, some pretty valid points. I think I'm going to hold off and keep my 1.2 for a while then If I do decide to change I might get a dci as Ive seen some good reviews on it on here.

Ok thanks for the advice guys, suck mixed opinions but I think by the sounds of things im best off sticking to my 1.2 for the time being?

Im going to have a look about I think, just so I know what they feel like to drive etc...Just wanted a few thought from other Clio owners tis all. ;)

You sound like my parents :rasp: I can see the logic, and I hope my patients pays off. Just seems like I'm stuck in a 1.2 whilst my mates are cruising about in 2.0L's and 1.8Turbo Diesels

Thank you for that advice, I think after having a read of most the post on here that will be my best bet. I think I'm just being impatient, as It seems alot of people my age have quicker, more powerful cars and Im getting tired of the 1.2 16v slowness. lol.

I was indecisive in the first place hence why I posted this thread, but after what most people seem to of said I'm better either getting dci or keeping my 1.2 tbh.

I dunno, might just keep the 1.2 :dapprove:

That's the problem I'm having at the moment.

Okay, the 1.2 is fine but its a 51 plate with 70,000 miles on the clock so starting to have to spend money on it. Changing drums, couple of bits needed replacing + a couple of problems atm, just getting fed up. But thanks for the advice.

hmmmmm, decisions decisions! Looking more like I may end up keeping the 1.2 :( The K-tec system I have is able to fit onto the 1.6 16v, double checked that when I bought it.

Starting to think that to be honest. Although I am still thinking of a 1.6 16v as I wouldn't do any mods to it other than putting my current exhaust system on it and putting it on coilovers. But not sure on what they are like performance wise?

Im not looking at spending loads, Im curious as to what can be done to a dci. Sport is still out the question. End of.

arh sorry, meant the post two up from your's (you must of posted when I was typing a reply), but thank you, lol, take it a stonger clutch is an expensive thing to get hold of?

What kind of result would that have? What companies do dci 100 Remaps?

And fuel cost, I'm a student

What kind of engine mods could I do? Don't know alot about diesels. Can you get exhaust systems for them?

That's exactly my thinking, I cant afford to run, let alone insure a sport at this moment in time, so I wanted something I could put my current mods onto with a little more power, so wanted people's thought's on the two models.

Not a 172, probably a 182 or even a 197 depending on prices when I'm able to afford and run one. Just want an 'in-between' Clio if that makes sense.

I don't really like 106's or Saxo's, seeming as almost all my mates have one and I honestly think they have a bad reputation for being 'chav mobile'. Wanting to stick to a Clio, so just wanted to know what my best option would be if I did decide to upgrade my Clio.

Okay, just getting a little fed up with not having alot of power. As I'm 19 at the moment, its going to be a while until I can afford a sport.
