sorry matey, but the 1.8 t was a 4 cylinder,there was a 5 cylinder but it was the v5 with either 150 bhp in 10v form or 170 bhp in 20v form
a cup should be on par with a std mk5 gti,an edition 30 will be slightly faster
mines on 113k with full history and runs really well,still has the same compression when it was new,doesnt smoke or burn any oil or water
i think its fine if there looked after properly
hmm well it must be a hard choice mate,when i took mine off the road last month and used that golf i had,i was aching to get bk into the clio and my 1st hard drive really put a smile on my face,the golf could never do that
do you have anything else you drive day to day mate? i work for vw and get to drive alot od diferent cars from performance (new gti) though to basic polo's and some days i can do a few few miles in them,and at the end of the day i get back into the clio and im always suprised how fun it is,it...

i have had 3 clios and a 172 looked a logical step up from my old hybrid ,although slower (that did 14.1@99 all day long at pod) it is nicer to drive and i like the looks.
also i managed to pick it up for just over 2k back in march last year when even the snotters were fetching high 2k
