Bye bye Clio ;(

[rosskerr]

Well the time to upgrade is upon me. Had my Clio for 3.5 years and it's been love hate all the way through. Car cost 3k when I bought it and I've done 30k miles in it but as of this Friday I pick up my new car. 58 plate Suzuki swift sport not bad to insure and quite quick and it's only done 20k miles compared to my 52 reg.

Gonna' miss my little Clio though.

 

[imprezaworks]

Good luck with the new motor. You will be back I'm sure

 

[Iain C]

I had a swift sport.

 

[rosskerr]

Intend to stay on the site some good info on here n some helpful people but my Clio has been very very very unreliable and have probably spent 1200 on new parts!

 

[imprezaworks]

1200 on parts isn't that bad too be honest, it is French after all lol. Hope you enjoy the new one matey

 

[rosskerr]

Cheers bud. Yeah I know but the cars hardly worth anything now so I resent spending that much on something I'm just not liking any more. Plus I got £1500 for it trade in so did quite well. Hoping the japenese cars dont break rumour is the truth haha

 

[clancy]

youll be back

 

[rosskerr]

youll be back

loving it ATM and tons better then my Clio. So I doubt it ATM mate maybe a sport in a few years

 

[kevbev321]

Jesus I wish I'd spent 1200 on mine! In two years the bloody thing has cost me double that thanks to a careless previous owner!

 

[rosskerr]

Mine was a temper mental little bugger aswell, hence why I part ex it I couldn't sell it privately as I would feel like dick Turpin

 

[PP200t]

Is yours the red one with stripes? Nice but it's not a swift sport, no alloys/bodykit etc. just an observation.

 

[imprezaworks]

If thats true, lol.

 

[Matt W]

It's not a swift sport. LOL.

 

[PP200t]

Nice though :approve:

 

[imprezaworks]

Priceless lol

 

[SimonR.]

Arn't the swift sports only like 130bhp anyway?

 

[g.cameron]

Arn't the swift sports only like 130bhp anyway?

Yeah they are, but they still shift. I love mine, and it loves to have the 'nads revved off it! But it's also a great car for the daily commute and the rest.

Don't knock until you've tried it..


But OP, you've been had. What you just bought isn't a "Swift Sport"

Sport -

Your "Sport" -

 

[Dan]

tried the swift sport before my 182 loved it but just a little small but a good buy instead of a mini cooper but still not a patch on a clio sport IMO

 

[Alexlfc]

Is that the 1.3 version?

 

[PP200t]

He hasn't posted since his car was 'outed' as a non-sport. Lol

 

[PP200t]

1.3 GL - 91bhp

 

[Dan]

i thought they did a 1.5 100bhp one (which wasnt bad tbh) as well and then the full 1.6 125bhp sport model the later one was the one i tried out and was quite fun. the 1.3s where propper s**t boxes when i looked at them :S but still could have nice upgrades as options from the dealer so not all bad.

still should ave got a colt CZT as it has a nice 1.5 turbo lump plus its a nicer on road car

 

[nick schofield]

i own a clio and there crap concidering most deisals will waste them cant wait to get rid of my french s**t

I owned one of these in the traffic lights driving our 18 years old R21 which has a 1.8 16v clio engine in it now and still running on the restrictive original R21 exhaust.

Way toooooo slow the czt

 

[Will.]

Always liked the look of these, but wouldn't own one. Just one of them cool looking cars.

 

[SimonR.]

Oh I wasn't knocking it. They look quite cool. My friend had one and she had a straight through exhaust on it, sounded great.
