I have a 182 and my brother used to have a 330ci (manual), we had a little play to about 80mph) and he said they he was struggling to hang on to me especially in 1st and 2nd. I think after that he would have had the advantage and after 100mph then he would have mullered me. He now has a 523i...

how do you unlock the boot when the battery is flat?

I wouldnt make that swap myself as Im not a big fan of the Impreza range, I respect that they are good cars but I dont like the looks or the image. I dont think it would be worthwhile swapping for a WRX, they are no quicker than the 182 (or not the one I had a play with)

I know what you mean, its the same with the williams according to the the road test the 182 is much quicker. BUT people on here have 1st hand experience and say theres not much in it

Exactly the V6 matched the Aston martin vanquish time, both in the wet

Welcome to Cliosport! Some 182's do come with Recaro seats but they are rare, it is possible to swap the std seats though but Im not sure how easy it is to do. As for common problems, usually there is nothing major and they will be covered under warranty. Such as the 4k rattle, enigne...

Mate all I said was that the V6 should be quicker as it cost 13k more, then you said the V6 is not 13k more 2nd hand. All I was saying is that you have to compare the prices when new, I was just using an extreme example that you can buy a 2nd hand Ferrari for V6 money, Im not saying it would be...

I agree, Im not keen on the stickers but that doesnt make it a bad car

It wont be rubbish, I dont think Renaultsport has made a bad car yet

Surely if they can keep up with the 172/182 then they can keep up with the CTR as there is nothing in it between the 172/182 and CTR

10k private 11k max from dealer

I know all about that

A few days ago I put my 182 in the garage and accidentally left the lights on. (Whilst driving home that day, a stone hit my window and it looked like it had left a little mark, I forgot to look at the windscreen before I put the car in the garage, so as its dark in there put all my lights on to...

Who said anything about a two year old Ferarri, I just said I could buy one for V6 money

I like it, dont think Ill swap the 182 for finanical reasons

No I couldnt and thats the point I was making, you can get a V6 for 182 money but not eveyone can afford to run them

AntV6, I agree with alot what you say. The 182 is a supermini with a powerful engine in the front but considering the V6 is still a clio does that make the V6 a supermini with an even bigger engine in the back? I like the V6, I agree that they are faster than 172/182 but not by a massive...

true, but on that theory I could buy a Ferrari

welcome to Cliosport

that looks awesome, i love the silver and as you said its not that popular on the 255, i think the majority are in blue

I wasnt saying there would be 1 second in it, im just saying that Mansell questioned the top gear four second rule for the wet. No doubt the V6255 would have been faster in the dry, it would probably have beaten the 182 and it should do remember its does cost 13k more

I havent driven any of them round a track, does that matter? If i had Im 100% sure I would get the 182 round faster as I dont claim to be able to drive fast. All I was saying that in the hands of a good driver theres not much in it

Clarkson reckoned 4 secs a lap quicker, however when Nigel Mansell was on the show he reckoned when driving the Suzuki in the wet would only affect a good driver by 1 sec. Be honest though theres not much in it between the 172/182 or V6 around a track

the V6 has the same interior and it built in the same factory as the 182

^^ I agree, very tempting. spend £500 for 270bhp and you a car that should hit 100 in around 13.5secs

270bhp, that will be quick

I actually watched the episode the other night as it was repeated on SKY. The funny thing is in his review he never once slated the V6 255 for some of the things that he slated the 182 for, such as crap interior and build quality for a 15k car but failed to say anything about the same issues on...

No it was a Racing Blue 182 Full Fat with both cup packs Also it was a V6 255 in Mars Red and the track was soaked

The thing is he has called it spot on, you had no intention of buying the car from him so he had no intention of giving you a test drive. it must be tricky for dealers as they must get so annoyed with people just turning up to drive the cars, but they have to let people drive them or they...

According to GDI inlet manifold matching can give an extra 10bhp depending on the mismatch. I would imagine stripping the car would class as a modification, also it seems a little pointless to spent that much on a car then rip its interior out If this was your aim from the start would a...
