Some times things look better from the front ?

Then again sometimes they dont..................
Just reading Top Gears comments on the new Clio V6.
"The Renault Clio. A chic but cheap hatch with a good safety record and low running costs, right? Not this one...
The latest generation Clio V6 is a true blokes car - take one sensible hatchback, remove all the creatures comforts and stuff...
Tell me to **** off for interfering, but I would take into consideration that you may need ULTRA LOW profile tyres or else your car will be sitting on stilts.
As usual with photoshopped pics, the original tyre is simply covered up by the bigger wheel.
I did similar to a *axo and wondered why...
BTW.
First impressions of my friends MK2.
Hi Dash,
The mark 2 isnt really a different car, to the mark 1. I did expect more of a difference!
The mark 2 now reacts like a saloon car. The body roll is a little less and the springs are much stiffer, only bumpy on certain roads. Overall...
Until the MK3 appears that is.;)
Then we will be hearing Mr Clarkeson telling us " The MK2 was better than the MK1, but this time Renault have made the MK3 better than it will ever get".
Of course thats only until the MK4 comes out.
Very true but some people simply dont like wasting hard earned cash however well off they might be.
My daughter has been promised whatever I get over £15k towards her first car, so I will obviously hope to get the best price for her sake.
IF I get bored with my V6, and only get £10k in...
Oh dear that makes me a very bad boy then. I have 3 cars to drive but I just cant keep out of the v6. 17k miles now ( 13 months )
Regrets?
Yes.
I have murdered billions of poor innocent flies.
In what way would you mod it?
Could you give me more detail on this waywardness, ie ; is it wayward over 150mph around bends? should I throw it into a bend at more than 140 ( which is the most I have done to date )
I am eager to see exactly what this wayward handling is all about. I have...
Yes it isnt simply a car number but an order number randomly generated, but I see the random has been increased to 4 digits. They will be more common that Saxos soon;) (and then then Mk1 will be worth millions LOL )
My 172 12k service was £193.00 The V6 12k service was £211.00 so not a great deal more.
Any Renault "Premier" dealer should be competent to deal with your needs.
TYRES, TYRES, TYRES......
I you dont like doing 360s then change these as soon as you suspect the tread is getting too low...
My mates new V6 almost ready to go on the road ( PDI )
I notice his car number is 0159 , the first 4 digits I have seen.
I will post his initial thoughts soon.
