Ive got a 2.2 VX and a 182..............
The Clio is slightly slower 0-60 tha the VX, but slightly quicker 60-100, so 0-100 is similar
Im actually selling the VX - its a wnonderful car, but for my average driving ability I am actually a quicker driver in the Clio
You can use a VX through winter, but the heater is crap, the roof can leak and they arent much fun when its icy. And they are bloody noisy over 80mph - you cant hear anything
But as a driving experience when its warm and sunny - get the roof off, and they are awesome. The steering is not assisted and is perfect
The turbo VX is quicker in a straight line, but the 2.2 is as quick round a track - they handle better and are more raw than the turbo
And you get so many stares in the VX its ridiculous!!!
The biggest differenc between the 2 for me is the Clio is a great handling fun car, the VX is the same but you feel special driving it
