Clio dci & Micra dci

[vtgrrrs]

Just test drove a Micra dci as a possible cheap runaround as I do a lot of miles now. Have to say I was very impressed. It was the '25' model and came with loads of goodies and to be honest it was quite nippy. Also, it's only £35 a year to tax and does combined 60mpg. If it's remapped it comes out at just over 100bhp and over 225lbs of torque. Think I could be tempted!

Am I right in saying this is the same as the Clio engine? If so I notice the Clio also has a 100bhp engine as standard. Is this just the same as the 82 bhp engine but with a different map?

Anyone know of any other comparable cars?

different engine i think. its also got 1 6 speed box and a bigger intercooler.

edit: sorry, thats a bit confusing what i wrote. the dci engines are the same in the micra and clio, but the 80 and 100bhp engines are different.

irc the 1.5 dci mircas an clios are the same nissan only offer the dci86 option in the micra renault use a difrent gear box an intercooler in the dci106/100 models the dci82/86 are the safer options if you plan to remap them
