Clio MK 4
expect a biased answer in here. I'd go for 182 personaly.
RB 182
drove both and 182 everytime
1.4 16 Valve 2001 Clio
gotta luv the 182, in mustard yellow, luvvvvv it
Sunflower & Golf Mk6 BMT
Despite what people say on here they are def quicker in a straight line and pretty much match the 182 round the track.
CTR better built, quicker, nicer interior. Cons: expensive, looks?, steering feedback
182: almost as quick, higher spec, more fun factor, handling, cheap! Cons: build quality, interior, relaibility compared to CTR.
Not driven CTR but i'd like to own one. Personaly I think they are the better car.

Is that a new colour that you invented? lol.
The only yellow is Liquid Yellow
Personally I think the CTR is the better car, just, but you could argue it either way all day long.
am I the only one who drove the CTR and thought it was hillarious how you can't actually feel what the car is doing, almost like the steering wheel wasn't connected. Ruined the car, had it's good points but that fatal flaw imo
Titanium 182
CTR is basically a t**t wagon
Not in my experience, they're the same speed.
As for this build quality people keep raving on about, you've only got to go on a CTR forum to discover that CTRs rattle too! Build quality isn't that good, but it is better than a clio's though (not difficult). Reliability is better too as long you keep an eye on engine oil levels. :clown:
The CTR is bigger and will have a bit more of a feel of quality about it. If you've already owned a clio, then why not try the CTR? However, the only way to decide properly is to go out, test both and see which you prefer.

PMSL.
willcrook: I agree that the steering feel when cornering isn't great, sadly a problem most hot hatches suffer from these days, the 182 is much better.
However at speed, say 100+ Ponies the Clio is bloody scary, it's then you realise that Reno just slapped in a big engine and went to lunch. The CTR is much more solid at higher speeds.
FPMSL!!
a thirsty one
ihad the same dileema last year, tst drove a few ctr's at local dealers and was tempted with one of the end of run anniversary models red carpet, different buckets and tinted rear glass as std. the problems are that the paint is thin and just not finished very well, in the wet it can be a bit tricky, insurance was about £100 a year more and £ for £ they were more expensive and you dont get many toys either just that engine and 6 gears (by the way heard a lot of trouble with the gear boxes basically not being enough room for 6 gears they really crammed all the cogs in and some people have problems with them) i joined a civic typre r forum to do some research which was quite useful.
i picked the 182 as got more car for my money, xenons, climate control, cruise control etc etc for the same money a ctr would have been about 18 months older and more miles with less gear.

lol you want to read some Honda forums................
Its a myth. ALL car manufactures have problems.
yes and no
i would say the CTR is easier to mod
though more expensive, but then you get what you pay for imo
Ditto
Which makes the clio cheaper as i said
Having said that you are correct there a lot of mods for the civic (just ordered an itg maxogen for mine
)

Its true i have gone against a type R flat out in my previous 182 and they just slowy crawl away so by the time you count over 120 jelly babies on your dash the CTR is about 5-6 car lengths a head.
This has happend more than once. They just have the edge but in reality there is not alt in it.
End of the day the Clio will give you more bang for your buck..
Anyway you should not compare the CTR to a clio, you should compare it against a turbo meggy as they are the same class. A clio is just a hot super mini.
Titanium 182
For me the CTR just lacks life
There is no VA VA VA VA VOOOOOOOOMMM lol
Every time i get in the clio 182 and drive i always get looked and smiles of people, it makes me smile to driving it
Its the fun factor at the end of the day something the 182 has, its one thing the CTR will never have tbh

Drive both, that will help you make up your mind. I drove both 3 years ago and bought a 182. The main factor for buying the 182 was that it was £4k cheaper brand new and full of bells and whistles. Had that 18 month but the shocking dealerships, annoying rattles and warrenty work ultimately did it for me. I then bought the CTR and have never looked back.
CX-7,westfield,ix20
I'll second that...
I looked at both but went for a 182 in the end cos for the same price the clio I could afford was a couple of years newer and went just as well.
Was also more fun to drive and I actually though the clio was quicker during 'normal driving'. Seemed much better for nipping about and a wee blast on a country road whereas the civic only seemed to be quicker in a LONG straight line.
In normal conditions (ie. mixed roads) the clio will be a bit quicker I think and more fun while you're at it.
