1.6l 16v ??

[Renault_Boy01]

why are mk2 ph2 1.6 16v clios not seen very often??

 

[Diesel_Power]

They didnt make as many.

 

[Renault_Boy01]

does anyone know why ??

 

[J0sh]

Not a huge difference between the 1.4 and the 1.6 performance wise, so no-one really bothered becasue it saved a bit of cash.

 

[Diesel_Power]

People didnt want them.

 

[Andy1.2]

Anyone got one? Wouldnt mind seeing some pictures as its a possible next car for me!

 

[J0sh]

Mikey has one.

 

[Diesel_Power]

My mate has one, there ok, not quick, not slow, look like a normal clio.

 

[Michael172]

werent too many produced. if you look youll find. but the meer fact that the 1.2 16v clios are so common make the 1.6 look like rocking horse s**t.

mine, few changes though since that pic,badges have coloured letters,different grille and is currently being colourcoded

 

[Martin_172]

people who want a clio generally want an economical one to go to the shops etc so just go for the basic 1.2 16v or dci (plus most young people want cheap insurance so 1.2 16v is perfect)

for the others that fancy a fast clio they bought a 172/182.

heres mine

I love the car. My mk1 blew up and i needed a car quick, was looking at 1.2 16vs but ended up getting a 1.6 somehow. Its not epicly fast but its nippy, cruises fine on the mway

Heres mine:

As with Gaz, I love mine. Its my first car and I find it nippy enough and handles pretty well. I couldn't afford the insurance on a 1*2, and I wanted something bigger than a 1.2.

Bingo really. Heres my old one:

There were more 172 made that 1.6 over the same time period.

Problem was they were to expensive and not powerful enough needed a detuned 2.0 IMO to have sold better but even then it the wrong car for the market IMO.
