Yes but what car turns the most heads? pluss I wouldnt say a CT-R is up there!

D-CUP · Mar 24, 2004

At least tell us what the problems were?

TheRoninV6 · Mar 24, 2004

at least back your comments up mate

The V6 is a top rated car

I have never read a bad review about it.

Rasclart · Mar 24, 2004

Like you said a Friday afternoon car

Doesnt mean all of them are like it.

U should have rejected it and tried another one!

Mike T · Mar 25, 2004

someone not happy with the residuals methinks!!!

lastmanjackson · Mar 25, 2004

There will always be one or two lemons in the bunch. And not just renaults either !!

I had a Citroen VTS once, everything went wrong with that.

Simo · Mar 25, 2004

Ive gone from a 330 BM, and so far even after only covering 300 miles in the V6 Ive had less problems. 330s lighting died almost instantly.

German attention to quality my arse.

You just got a bad one mate, unlucky

ak_uk · Mar 25, 2004

If it was that bad surely you would reject a car and not sell it - why should you take the loss, assuming you bought it new....?

jongsr4 · Mar 25, 2004

maybe you just had a bad one?

hope the new owner isnt anyone on here! lol

Daipac · Mar 25, 2004

I notice you waited to tell us this till after you sold it obviously ! LOL !

Dash · Mar 25, 2004

If he ever really had it of course

jabba · Mar 25, 2004

ive heard the handeling aint all that apparently it feels a bit detached from the rest of the car; sorta like theyve only put the big engine in the back for a gimmick or harkin back to the old turbo 2 days. they obviously didnt spend enough on development

the mk 2 was meant to be better but still not amazing (apart from looks).

McBunny · Mar 25, 2004

erm the mk 2 is supposed to be much much better than the mk1

the bacl of the mk1 was the front subframe from a laguna welded iirc

Rasclart · Mar 25, 2004

Most write ups Praise the V6

Dont think anyone is able to comment unless they have driven one

McBunny · Mar 25, 2004

i have only ever driven a mk1 v6 and that was slowly around a pub carpark but that was nice thank you steve v6

agree - nobody should comment on the handling or feel of a car until they have driven it - comment on the looks, yes, but how can you know what a car is like to drive until you have driven it?!?!?!

well u can comment if u have like myself had a detailed discussion with an owner who has told u whats wrong with it & why, the bloke i spoke to used to work with renault and had much knowledge and insight into the matter which i am passing on. but agreed in theory dont open your gob less something usefuls gonna come out!

D-CUP · Mar 25, 2004

Rubbish. The MK2 has had loads of very good reviews and the handling has been complemented. Clarkson said there is more grip than you could ever need for the road.

?????????????????????

Unsure what you mean there?

Mine feels fantastic, every review Ive read, heard and seen has said the MK2s handling is amazing. Hence why I bought mine.

Really not sure what you mean there.

CraigV6 · Mar 25, 2004

If you know how to drive properly the mk1 is not a problem either.

Any car pushed too hard at the hands of someone who has only just stepped behind the wheel is going to bite you.

I am used to my mk1 now and the only complaint I would have about the drive is the appalling turning circle. Other than that it is fantastic!!!!!!!!!!

Me thinks Keir V6 was either lying about owning a mk2 or had a terrible example or couldnt drive properly!

fUbAr · Mar 25, 2004

notice we havent heard back from keirv6.... does that tell u anythin...!!!

Dean · Mar 26, 2004

yep

it tells me:

hes got far more important things to worry about than what the clio boys think!

Tom1600 · Mar 26, 2004

Then why did he bother posting?

What are you trying to say mate

D-CUP · Mar 26, 2004

Yeah. My sentiments entirely.

RobFenn · Mar 26, 2004

I think its a bit unfair to presume he is lying. Some people arent on the forums all day like us lot

Ali · Mar 26, 2004

^^^ This is true!

bigmouk · Mar 26, 2004

If you bought the v6 new you must have a few quid.

Seen the new Subaru WR1 ? 30k - 0-60 4.2 secs.... no competition! unless you run into a super car and even then ????

Simo · Mar 26, 2004

A few quid, or like me, needed to dipose of a few quid before the tax year was up.

Nobody from the tax office on here is there?

I like the thought of that - maybe ill do the same this time next year.

BenR · Mar 26, 2004

Why all the backchat?

The V6 isnt the be all end all mid engined cars.

I had the chance to drive a V6 daily, but i just hated the way it drove in std form. Sure, it can be sorted, but how many average buyers are prepared to go through the sort of effort that is required.

I did like the box though, and the noise. Except that moving the shifter on teh bottom of the H pattern needs more travel then the top half.
