Autocar - Ask Goodwin

[Max172cup]

Good on the 182, more plaudits from Autocar.

Goodwin, when asked which front wheel drive car hed most like to learn handling on a track with (the writer suggested a 205 GTi), he siad the Clio 182. He said hed driven it on a tack and loved it, saying its more indicative of the modern front wheel drive behaviour than the 205 would be.

I dont think Ive read any bad reviews, other than from people on here who have never even been in one!!

IMHO the 182 is sh*te.

Ive driven a car this weekend that blew it away. and it was much older.

Yes he listed these too


Low power caterham - RWD
Evo IV - 4WD
Elise - Mid engined (he added this in because it was that layout it wasnt really part of the list)
the actual question was

"if you wanted to teach yourself the finer details of handling what 3 cars would you use/choose?"

[Jeremy Townsend]

[Fred@BTM]

BTW under the bonnet of the display cars was a bit OTT, false advertising mr T!!!!

What was the deal with the spring clamps on the megane RS???

One of the girlies on your stand told me off for "messing with a clio" (you abviously hadnt informed everyone i was coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

 

[Jeremy Townsend]

Nice engine bay eh ? Loads a polish !!

 

[Fred@BTM]
