I noticed in today Car mag they had it against the Leon, Mini Cooper S and Pug 206 GTi 180. The final comment was that the Clio is the best hot hatch you can get for the money.

i dont doubt it is the best, but if i recall didnt they say the same about the cup when they had it. Something along the lines of "the cup doesnt need to try and compete against the hot hatches of new and old, it IS the king of all hot hatches"

they change there minds quick eh. lol, (and btw im not stirrin, just thought it was funny, i love the 182, (only for the xenons tho hehe), and should love the drive once i steal toms! lol)

Wait till the next hot hatch comes out. lol

[Dansta]

You should have driven mine when I offered the other week. Then you would of heard knocking, and rattling. To quote some witty post I once read (by me) , it rattles like a skeleton cracking one off in a biscuit tin.

Its a good job its so much fun and offers such an entertaining drive.

Apart from all the reviews in the top magazines i have another more important comment to add to the list...

Tom - has the air filter really made that much difference, is there a noticeable power increase, their website reckons 10bhp! Is it that much louder, and finally, how much did you pay?

Yes you can notice the diff its made it more responsive it feels quicker (but its not) and the noise, f**k me.

£80. tho it needed a bit of a scrub but now its clean as a new whistle
