Nice!

Glad he is nowhere near me! Sounds like he should be banned from driving!

No idea what you are asking.

Nice car - looks good in white. Too low though!

Not a fan of the looks but it must be great fun. Really like the bar for saving the luggage from going through the windscreen on big stops!

Maybe for a week.

Whateva. You can only dream of this frugality.

Yeah, they can make 400. I managed it a few times.

Not a huge fan of these but that looks mint! Rear end is perfect - not so keen on the front end, and that number plate, or lack of it - legal? Will you not get pulled over everytime you go out? Must be fast, enjoy!

Is he Russian mafia? Beasty car!

I guess that's why he has a GTT as well. Sounds a bit optomistic but impressive all the same. I'm managing 470 miles from my derv, when driven sensibly. Smaller tank than the Clio too.

Keep the 182 and don't mod! Use the money elsewhere. What mods are you thinking?

Oh really?

It's not a race, mate. And driving slowly on NSL roads or roundabouts is not because the car can't cope, unlike ultra low cars that can't get over a small bump in the road with scraping or breaking something. Also, speedbumps are meant to be taken slowly - just 'not' that slowly!

Less to go wrong and not everyone needs the aircon. The 172 spec isn't exactly luxury by comparison.

As much I hate speedbumps, I have decided to go passed a few twits with their gash cars struggling to ascent to the peak of a 50 odd mm concrete mound. One was a Skyline and he was not too happy but if your car is not fit for the road, get out the way! And why is it funny to hold people up...

Flame suit on! I reckon neither is faster as it's all theoretical.

Agree. It's pisch, looks stupid most of the time (when ultra low) and is annoying when you get someone who can't get down some streets without going at 1 mph. The ridiculously low should actually be banned for cars using the public highway. Good rant!

Not sure you are correct about the wheels... You are right, no ABS or aircon. All weight! Not many other differences really apart from cosmetics. And that 10bhp is more like 4 but it's a lottery as to what bhp is found within the Clios. They tend not to make make their power! Should be a few...

Look no further then, a Clio should tick all the boxes! Get a 172 Cup if you're hard, regular 172 if you're soft. No point in a 182 unless you want a newer car.

As above, you can't go far wrong with these cars unless you are unlucky! Quick, cheap and fun - not sure about torquey though, compared to the other cars you mentioned! Performance is spot on for what it's good at - B roads. Motorway - not so good, IMO. They are not uber fast but that's not...

At 2.15 - clearly a diesel! Great video! Just on the 'blown' v 'N/A' chat - how long before we only see (new) turbo'd cars you reckon? These days, with heavier cars, emissions v performance = a win for turbo'd cars.

A Megane is probably a closer comparison but the OP has had both, therefore it's a 172 comparison. We're not here to compare ugly cars.

172nick(ed) - I give you a year with that attitude. No, you don't need to tinkle about but comparing or racing, as you clearly mean, is idiotic. Take it on the strip or do a track day.

Good comparison.

That's how it is on all forums. Deal with it. It's down to how the person typing perceives their car - which results in a lot of love or hate. Read the title to this thread..."Clio 182 - best car I've ever owned!!!' He's not saying it's the best car ever made for everyone else. It's his...

Don't comment or read. Simple.

How many miles on a tank?

That's the hope! That's the issue with young 'uns insuring a Clio - they might think £1500 @ age 21 is good value but if something happens, they could be paying more than £2000 by the time the excess kicks in. Then the renewal jumps...

Massive excess though.
