Clio gt

everyoneisawinner · Jul 8, 2009

Just picked my new Clio gt 1.6 up from Bradford Renault heard mixed views on here about it's performance and looks I think the car is spot on I'm really impresed with everything about it I know it's nothing like the 200 but I got a really good deal on it really looking forward to going to a cs meet when one come up in my area to show it off a little

everyoneisawinner · Jul 8, 2009

Martin_172 · Jul 8, 2009

did you get the diesel or the gutless 1600?

everyoneisawinner · Jul 8, 2009

gOt the gutless 1.6 couldn't be arsed waiting 4 months plus diesel costs more and int as quick

micallef1990 · Jul 8, 2009

diesels quicker, cheaper tax, twice if not more mpg

the dci106 needed a bit more power to start with on paper is quite a bit slower 0-60 11.1 the road tax is 120quid a year its 950quid more 50mpg

the road tax is only 150quid for the petrol 0-60 9.3 30mpg

both have plus points imo

Martin_172 · Jul 8, 2009

surely dci 106 is going to get similar only slightly worse due to weight MPG compaired to my dci100 and i can get 65mpg without to much hastle, driving very quick i get 50+

acceleration wise from the line the high reving 1.6 is going to be quicker but in gear 60+ the dci will pull on it (compairing my dci 100 to mates ph1 rsi (i beleive gt has a slightly more powerfull engine than the old 110bhp 1.6 16v? but weight difference in a ph1 to ph2 will help eaven it out)

personally dci 106 would be the one for me! does the 1.6 have the 6 speed box?

both 6speed

the gt uses the same engine as the twingo rs but with a 6speed box

based on my dci86 getting 56mpg best ive seen 59mpg working it out at the pump the trip is useless its claiming 63mpg :lolup:

a cooper d is also worth looking into

I totally agree which is why I went for the diesel GT. Hopefully it will be worth the wait (delivery in septemeber).

the trip is accurate to within 0.5mpg on the mk2's

everyoneisawinner · Jul 8, 2009

been driving around in the petrol gt looking on the mpg its averaging around 30 mpg nearly done a tank full in 2 days but i have done a lot of driving also anyone ordering one i would defo go for the sat nav its so accurate and warns u of upcoming accidents or congestions the best sat nav ive ever seen . does anyone on here have the diesel model yet would like to know what the acceleration is like?

Thanks for info about the satnav. I don't think there are any diesels out yet. I've searched everywhere for reviews and info on the diesel and only find the petrol version. I ordered a Clio GT dci 106 at the beginning of may and it's not being delivered until September, so I guess they've not started building any diesels yet.

everyoneisawinner · Jul 8, 2009

we were very lucky getting this gt went into renault pricing both models up they told us their were a waiting list so went away deciding then out of no where renault called saying someone had had brought back the showroom gt because it was too small for havnt seen another on the road yet

Plummer · Jul 8, 2009

I thought the GT was a turbo?

everyoneisawinner · Jul 8, 2009

only the diesel

Plummer · Jul 8, 2009

Shows how much I know!

Jason_E · Jul 8, 2009

I've seen two. Both Malta blue like mine. One going the other way just coming out of my town, and another on the way out of silverstone at this years GP. I was like

I'm sorry, is that a typo? Anyone who pays £3K for a 1.6 Clio needs their head looking at.

jesus · Jul 15, 2009

Do they only come in blue then?

everyoneisawinner · Jul 15, 2009

i think the only ones out are demo cars from dealerships their is a waiting list for ones ordered but any colour can be got

jesus · Jul 15, 2009

Interesting, never knew that! So they aren't brand new when you buy them then?

everyoneisawinner · Jul 15, 2009

either demo cars or showroom cars not registered mine was bought showroom car by someone then realised it wasnt big enough for family so px thats when i got it a lot cheaper 2nd owner but only 600 miles on clock

Initiale · Jul 16, 2009

Looks good, like the wheels but they were a b**ch to clean when I had mine. Those look more like grey than silver though.

daydotz · Jul 17, 2009

i cant beleve theirs a waiting list for the gt

So you can get a GT in Alien Green and Liquid Yellow?

Nice car btw!

Gaz_ · Jul 18, 2009

Nooooo. The only reason you can get them colours on a RS Clio is cos they are all hand built, here
http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=407907&highlight=renaultsport+trip

GT clios are built on a normal Clio production line (Spain?) Apparently dont have the tooling for the id colours. The new meggy 250 doesnt have id colours either, as this is also rolling off a normal Meggy line.
