Brand New 182 or MKI V6

Daipac · Oct 25, 2004

Which would you choose ?

geordiepaul · Oct 25, 2004

hmmm decisions decisions!! MK1 V6 for me probably!

leeds_182 · Oct 25, 2004

Get a v6 if u can afford it.

blink172 · Oct 25, 2004

V6 with a few susp mods

Big Iain · Oct 25, 2004

deffo the v6

get one with under 10k for 15k

telford_mike · Oct 25, 2004

V6 mate - you dont do many miles - you can afford the fuel bills.

Gareth · Oct 25, 2004

V6 no question!

Pete · Oct 25, 2004

If you dont do many miles then the v6.

Altho where are you going to put kobe?

Lee · Oct 25, 2004

182, I could never buy a Mk1 V6 knowing that the Mk2 is out and looks and goes better.

ok it goes better but I wouldnt say it looks a whole lot better?

Big Iain · Oct 25, 2004

^^^^^ and its 12 k cheaper to buy a 2 yr old v6 with under 10k than it is to buy a new one

I was thinking more in one of those silver containers with cardboard lids, might be some room for some rice and some sweet and sour too!

V6 will have so much more road presence than the 182, it wont be like the 172 where its just another Clio!

Lee · Oct 25, 2004

Just my opinion. I dont like not having a current model. Im sad like that.

Daipac · Oct 25, 2004

@ Mike & Pete ! b******s !

I reckon the MKII V6 looks MUCH better than the MKI V6 IMHO. But then the MKII V6 is £25k !

You can get a very low mileage MKI V6 for £15k.

telford_mike · Oct 25, 2004

Its a strange thing with the Vee, its nothing like the 172 at all - hard to describe but it has a totally different character somehow.

V6 (and I did), I could never buy a 182 knowing that the V6s look better and go better

Youll also lose more on a brand new 182 than you will on a 15k V6 (although this will probably be irrelevant once youve spent the difference on petrol and insurance!)

I know what you mean, when you drive it is very strange, interior is so like the 172 but its just a totally different experience.

Brazo · Oct 25, 2004

The mk1 v6 imo looks awsome but its straightline speed is akinto a 182 and it couldnt go around bedford any faster than a 172.

182 for nimble footed performance

v6 for cracking looks!

mk2 v6 for both perfomance and looks!

Yip, just been looking now.

There is a nice Mars Red one on there too, 9000 miles for £16k too.

Do the MKI V6s have Climate Control ? I know they have AC.

Both in standard form the V6 would be faster.

If you want an opinion on this ask SteveV6 as hes had a 172, MK1 V6 and a MK2 V6 and hell tell you the same.

fUbAr · Oct 25, 2004

definately one of these mate (but prolly not as rare as this one)

(nice delete of the post down there james

cat171 · Oct 25, 2004

v6 all the way, they have soo much presence on the road !
(something which a 182 just doesnt have, sorry 182 people)

plus as they have already lost a fair bit of money, they wont depreciate much more, unlike the 182 (unless you can get a 182 for a decent price)

V6'ing · Oct 25, 2004

That looks really great in blue.. open front bumper..trophy wheels and spoiler.. nice version!

My brothers got a 182 with cup pack, very very nice.. but would have to say the V6 mk1, the experience of these cars cant be explained, until u own one!

miketheman2k · Oct 25, 2004

Not overly-liking the wheels, but that front bumper is sweet. Is it modded from a standard one, or after-market kit? (and does the guy even know what a speed-bump is?

)

fUbAr · Oct 25, 2004

tried confused.com ? The quote tesco gave me scared me to death. Ended up paying about £100 a year more than the 172.

Daipac · Oct 25, 2004

Confused.com were shocking for me on the 172, the only decent ones were Tesco, Privilege and Direct Line and they are quoting over £1000.
