    The coolest car on the road!

    FIESTA - probably, but do you see new shape ones parked next to the big jumps at Horsey events? (I live opposite a Racecourse, so seen the Clios) not being snobby, but the Clios is unique in its ability to appeal to a poverty stricken student (most of us have been there!) AND an old granny...

    18s

    they will fit - look on - Home Page - Gallery - other Clios at least a few pages in. theres a smart colur coded Blue One on there. most ppl stick to 17s thou - compromises comfort and higher gearing on 18s CHECK change in diameter on home page - styling - wheels - I think its called miata...

    climate control on cup

    £1000s standard aircon could be salvageable from a Breaker on any other Mark 3 Clio, still cost a £100s if you know a good specialist mechanic SERIOUSLY - FORGET IT looking at air con under bonnet on mine (not 172) also limits some under bonnet mods cos of same - I cant get an IK Ive just...

    Need sorting out with some advice

    Mk 1 172 with specialist insurer and put your Mum on as named driver - it WILL be less! OR?? a dCi 80? stonking mid range (145lb/ft compared to about 80lb/ft in 1.2) hence overtaking is swift! 50-70 in 5th? about 15 secs in 1.2 8V, 9.6 in a Dci 80, 9.9 in Mark 1 172 (Top Gear mag 2000)...

    would u choose the v6

    The Mark 2 V6 is Superb - Clarkson might be a wally, but if someone who drives as many cars as him puts it in his "Top 10 Garage", it cant be bad! BUY ONE!! if you cant live without the space, a Scooby is cheaper to run than an Evo (5K Evo servicing and 200 miles on a tank is v. expensive...

    182 on Top Gear

    I think itll work, but Focus ST170 has been slated for the same, despite being an excellent alrounder! but there gonna get a low insurance group and keep price down to tempt young drivers who dont wanna spend a grand or more insuring a 172 or similar!

    182 on Top Gear

    looks good - I bet the build quality is higher than Clio! according to Ford, they reckon the handling will allow it to live with 182 and Pug 180! the RS looks the dogs thou in AutoCar mag 200BHP for £16K @ end of 05

    How reliable is your Clio

    love it but its been back to Reno for a new ECU and a steering creak! I wrote a letter of complaint about fluctuations in service: "Ready now Sir" when 2 hours early to "youre car aint goin anywhere Mister!" when not ready! looking forward to a FREE service cos I wrote to Dealer...

    The coolest car on the road!

    BRAZO I think you missed the point - Id love a Porsche! its the classless popular appeal that is appealing (excuse the pun) Id hazard a guess that most of us also find the thought of a Roller or Maybach vulgar! Id also rather eat spaghetti bolognese rather than Caviar!!

    should be fine!! so many ppl have speeders, that insurers dont worry too much - someone else on here has 2 and it doesnt affect their insurance! INSTANT ban normally over 100 (although some still get a way with it - youre not a Football Player or member of the Royal family are you?)...

    The coolest car on the road!

    at the weekend my 9 year old nephew said my car was cool and HIS 66 year old Gran would love a Clio too!! Id argue that there is not another car on this planet built today that appeals to both sexes and ALL ages in the same way! IMHO the ORIGINAL Mini, early Landrover (pre power steering and...

    Final Decision

    17s! 17s are a compromise in terms of comfort - 18s will be worse and the tram-lining will be bad I bet. save your dosh - over £500 even if you sell your 17s?
