oh i am goin to keep it!dont get me wrong. they are quite rare cars!ive only ever seen another one on the road. just interested to see what ppl thought it was worth!
i may sell my mk 1 172 because i dont use it. i walk to work every day and dont hardly drive it at the weekend. just wondering what it would be worth?stunning car, wont find a better example
2001 47k. IMMACULATE!!!!! 2.5k stereo professionally installed, 17 oz superleggeras,gaz coilovers,wp...
a valver is a 1.8 16v clio mate mk1.
17s on your car will make a big diff in acceleration. with higher powered cars, its not really that bad. handling is deffo affected too. looks mint tho! "Do it" :D
mk2 clios are quite common therefore u will be able to pick one up cheap, the mk1 is a rare car and will hold their value a lot better IMO. i bought mine not long ago n i could of had a mk2 for the same price if not cheaper.
at the end of the day, which ever u go for it will be a nice, fast car!
from our very own cliosport homepage on car specs......performance.......
mk1 172
PERFORMANCE 0-100 kph / 0-62 mph 6.8 secs Maximum speed 138 mph
220 kph
182
0-100 kph / 0-62 mph 7.1 secs Maximum speed 139 mph
222 kph
looks quicker to me :D
mk1, u dont see many of them! great performance (quicker than 182) 0.1 sec slower than cup to 62 tho, but has alll toys! cup looks up to date and a lovely looking car but not too clever interior or gadgets! mk1 will be cheaper to...
ooooooh! do i dare?!lol
im dying to do it but cat be assed with the hassle if it wont all come off!
n the thought of the rear window getting demolished by some solvent abuse!
lol i want to mate but dont no what it will be like getting them off! i dont want to start n then think....
i wish i never started!or even worse...
damage the rear window
i agree with most of the above comments!......
very loud, feels like it revs easier, maybe a little slower early gears but i think u can notice a slight difference in high gears/motorway driving!
dont worry about mot, its only once a year!
best of both worlds haha.
tell u what tho!...my brakes were better than the ctr and possibly the handling but didn really get to test it much as its an airfield!
but mine got coilovers n 310mm discs so may have somethin to do with it!lol
i was thinkin of getting one next but i dont no whether theres a big enough gap in performance for me! they are quicker IMO lol..... but my next car i want to feel realy fast! prob have to look at a turbo!decisions decisions! wont be for a while mind but i like to think ahead! :D
its just ive alwasys liked type r but cant get insured? i drove my bosses today n felt miles better than my 172! quicker and just all round a better car! IMO
i like the saxo vts!! good performance and handling! for a relatively cheap car! easily modified.....why does everyone hate them so much? i can see why ppl hate vtrs...ppl who own them think they r the fastest cars on the road! and theyre everywhere!but then again so are clios!
who cares which...
