First time I've gone on PH for quite awhile so was surprised to see that. Nothing we don't already know but a nice rose-tinted read non-the less. More fun, less money, better off. Etc

Aye, it will have it in the twisties. LOL.

good read, type R will have the clio most of the time but under the right driver can make a lot of difference, you know your doing well when you pass them.

There is nothing in them up to 100mph and in the bends I would rather be in the clio. I did love my mates type r though. Awesome gearbox and the engine goes mad. My mate had a different exhaust on his and even though it droned quite a bit it was immense when revving the nuts off it!

So basically, in almost all occasions, the Civic trumps it, but as usual, the Clio is the one that 'sparkles'. I've driven a Ep3 Type R, as much as i love them, there's something it lacks against the clio.

Sums it up really.

Agreed.
