Just wondering, apart from engine sound and about 20 horse power if there is much difference is these cars, speed wise Only wondering as the 16v's are well cheap compared to some VR6's, Would the extra bhp and worse fuel consumption be worth it for the VR6 Comparing similar cars about...

Thanks for the posts guys, I think i'll leave it. On the flip side though I test drove a VR6 Corrado and an Alfa GTV 3.0, both were cheaper than the clio and well the big surprise was how slow the VR 6 was, but the Alfa, F### me, that flew, so I'm poss in the market for one of those now.

Seen one for sale, 52 plate clio cup, trade sale for 5995. 1 owner and full history. It's based just over 100 miles away but what do you guys and girls think, forget it or go for it with that kinda mileage Thanks Ed

Mileage was 20k, prob drop to 7700 but it was in a stealer....

Had today off work and the local vauxhall dealer have a 52 plate cup for 8k. Turned up, the car looked the bolx, i've heard all about the cheap interior but i thought it was ok, seats reminded me of my r5 raider i used to have. Naturally went for a spin and after reading sooo much on...

"Audi TT!!! The choice of someone seriously image conscious who knows nothing about cars!" Knob! whoever said that. I bouht a tt for the wife because she would of kicked me hard in the b****cks if id bought an evo instead, so it kept her happy and me happy as its faster than a 440 volvo. Some...

I love v6s but its not a cool car, well its a cool car for the max power brigade and its a car id love a mate to have, but to have one sat on my drive the neighbours would think wtf. Ive owned a TT and I loved it, the good thing about the tt is you can sell it again and over 1 year I lost £500...

Never heard of a 650 kwak, maybe a 636..

Those are 15" alloys, same pattern as the normal ones but an inch smaller, maybe wrong but i do specialize in alloys wheels.

Wow Wee. Thanks for all the replies guys, the Pug would only of been bought to sell on for a profit, didnt realise you all felt so strongly about them, good know what youd say about my 440 volvo on a 94/L plate;)

I know its a dumb question to put on a clio specific forum but im keen on buying a 172/cup, theres a couple on the for sale section that sound good and if I can ill go and have a look at them I will (2 babies plus wife to consider first). HOWEVER, someone at my work is selling a standard silver...

Does the post make sense or is it just late in the afternoon. So who was overtaking who and what.. All you lot seem to knwo what he oe she is one about, hmm.

Wonder if he has 2 kids and a dog..

Yep, saw this car last night, was out on the R1 and he was folowing me around segensworth roundabout. Both headed for Whitelely and he went his way and I went my way. Just a lovley selfish car.

Didnt see a black one but I did see a 52 plate clio cup going around the rounabout above J7 on the M27, last night about 4.15 ish.

I tell thee, proper bo, 20, 21 and got a 172, think when I was 21 I had a d reg 205 gti, was 8 years back mind you.

Before we had out little girl I had an really nice Ibiza Cupra 2.0 16v, now that was a great car, really loved the way it drove and red lined soo well, thats what started my obsession with 16 valvers and has lead the way to wanting a clio 172. We owned a 225 tt for 3 months until I bloody made...

My other car in the family is a volvo 440 on a L plate, looks sh*te but has been soo reliable and ive canned it to an inch of its life, all for £900 3 years ago. Shes bound to blow soon.

I dont have one YET, but im 29 and still very very excited by these cars, just fancied knowing what age you lot are to see if im normal or have need to grow up. :D

Wow guys and girls, quite a varied response, to be honest im probably more lost the more replies I read, but I love all your thoughts, everyone has a favourite car and their reasons are their own, If i was rich id have both on my drive. The bike is great, looks good goes great, dont want to...

The Upshot is IF I sell the A4 Avant the Accord will take over as the family car, 4 doors, boot etc. However If I can manage to wangle some dosh and keep the Audi then the 172 cup was going to be the choice as a second car. It all comes down to two things and thats the wife and the kid...

Yeah they are 2 diff cars and the accord is much more practical but when faced with the senario of actually owning one for 3 years its gets tricky IMO. I also have a 11 month old and another one on the way, so car seats will have to be fitted but well have the Audi for boring 125bhp motorway...

Am thinking of buying a new car, bikes are my thing but I love cars too and ive come to a stumbling block.. I would appreciated any views/comments, goo or bad or irrelevant. For £7000 your looking at a 100k plus Accord Type r roughly year 2000 or by what ive seen on this forum 7k may get...

Hi Im new to the forum, just registered a min ago. Love Clios especially 172 cups, think in standard form they look amazing, the wife does seem to think they look like any other blue clio...shell get over the bruises.. I agree about the cup selling thing, I think the whole market is slightly...
