The last 172s had cruise control too, so it aint new... Power is gained from exhaust, cat & inlet apprently, with torque being the same, but peaks slightly lower. Look >>> http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/clio182/http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/clio182/

Seedy - You will be dissapointed with the performance...

Well, a few people on here have got this "sticking in gear" problem and its down to a number of things... In your case most likely due to it being so new & tight! When my box needed replacing gearchange was perfect, but it was whining in 1st gear and that was a syncromesh fault...

Back to Renault ASAP mate...

You win a big cheesy grin >>> :D

They are just figures mate... in reality all cars differ, as do the drivers... For example, my Cup has run the 1/4 mile in 14.5secs @ 94mph, so my 0-100 time is not gonna take a lot longer and certainly way quicker than the 17.7secs time I gave above! Then people like TimO & chris n nic...

The mk1 V6 vs Cup is a close call as Ive been there and done that... ;) The mk2 is quicker and handles better than the mk1, so Id not be as confident! As for the other cars >>> Impreza WRX (new): 0-100 - 16.9secs (but Evo timed one as 18.3secs) Mini Cooper S: 0-100...

Yup... Mk1 V6: 0-100 - 17.0secs Mk2 V6: 0-100 - 15.8secs To compare... Mk1 172: 0-100 - 18.2secs Mk2 172: 0-100 - 18.9secs Cup 172: 0-100 - 17.7secs Problem is, the V6s do not feel as fast as they actually are!

Illiad Blue

Know exactly where youre coming from there mate... Ive never know a car attract so much attention!

Yeah, this is the only mk2 V6 Ive ever seen on the road...

Yeah, they should have made the bits round the dials blue like the Cup. Those buttons on the wheel are for cruise control...

Nope... But you know youre in something special.

Theyre basically the same...

Same as a 172 inside, so yeah...

Its gone now! :confused: Got a Megane now instead, a 1.6 Dynamique and to be honest its a good car...

Thats Kitchens mate... Surprised you aint seen any V6s in Blackburn though as CB1A has a silver mk1 V6 and he lives in your neck of the woods!

Its just not worth all that extra money IMO... Great car, but not as fast as it should be!

Yeah mate, this mk2 V6 is owned by my mate Dave that works at Kitchens. That mk1 in Kelbrooks is actually the one Dave had from new, but its been well and truly used (& abused) so by all means have a drive in it, but dont buy it... If you really do decide you want a mk1 V6 then I can speak...

In my opinion... NO! :o

Theyre £200 +VAT mate...

Honestly... NO! Ive driven the mk1 V6, I am currently driving a mk2 V6 (my Cup is in being sorted), also driven the mk1 172 (with track experience), the mk2 172 and the Cup, which I own, so I have got experience with all the recent sporty Clios and IMO the V6 is not leagues ahead of its...

LOL It has used a lot of petrol though... :o

Youll have to be very quick then mate... It has to be back by 6:00pm tonight, so unless you can get over to where I work (between Blackburn & Preston) for about 5:00pm then it aint gonna happen!

Honestly... Its a great car, looks fantastic, sounds amazing and Ive never had as many people staring at me and moving over ever, but does not "feel" as fast as a Cup or 172 and for that price theres a lot of other stuff Id rather have.

I like your thinking... Shame he wants it back by 6:00pm tonight and if mine aint ready I will get summat else more "normal" I reckon!

Thats why Ive not been to work yet... took this morning off now! :devilish: Got stuff I need to do though, so going in for a bit this avo.

Lancashire...

LOL The only reason I got that is because one of my mates is the sales manager at my local dealer! ;) It would not be given to just anyone...

Well, it was obviously gonna be a Renault... ;) This is what Ive currently got >>> http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1071144751__V6_255_pic01.jpghttp://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1071144751__V6_255_pic01.jpg...
