Yeah has the 197 box.
Seriously Toby there is something wrong with your car. Everyone who drives mine comments on the 4k kick. The power builds up smoothly from their (unless its cold, then its kangaroo city).
I found that the 1.2T had more of an uneven power delivery tbh. The engine is...
LOL :P
oh and Toby, Guttless OVER? 5000k? sorry, must have a different car to me. From 4krpm onwards the power just gets more and more and more. 4k is where VVT kicks in (y0) and it just gets more powerful the higher I get in the revs.
Don't listen to Cliotoby, he just doesn't seem to like clios. Everyone who's driven my car loves it. He seems to be the only one who doesn't like it!
The seats = amazing
The handling = fun :D
The engine = also fun, revvy VTEC style fun.
They have recently put some epic deals on the GT too atm. Hence why I'm finding it hard to shift mine. Starting to see more and more twins on the road :rasp:
Yeah but not everyone can afford it mate, that's my point. If you want a new car that's quick than your standard 1.2 but can't afford the 200's insurance its a great middle of the road car. Kind of like a stepping stone from a 1.2 or w/e.
Cant really afford the payments etc.
Well tbh, when it was being run in it was a bit limp. However, I just think your being narrow minded here.
YES, its slower than a RenaultSport. Thats the friggin idea. Not all of us fancy paying £7k+ on insurance on a 1*2 etc. (us being younger driver ofc)...
Yeah he was a legend. I let him drive mine too :rasp:. I think the TCE feels about the same speed as a MK2 PH2 1.2 16v. But the turbo makes it a little bit more fun and cooler ;)
Oh yeah don't get me wrong the TCE was! But the GT just feels faster. Probably because it is... Either way, if its power you want the GT has it, and with cheap insurance too :). Its a good combo imo.
I love the power of mine. For a while my instructor had a 1.2Turbo clio and there is a definate power advantage in the 1.6VVT engine.
It handles well the interior is gorgeous the seats are perfect. It's such a good car despite all the s**t people say about it being "too slow".
BTW, I also know...
