Clio MK3 1.6 Dynamique S - Opinions

[JonClioE3]

Hi all

Thinking of getting a different car around September time.

Has anyone got/driven/tested a mk3 1.6 S? If so what are they like?
Iv driven a 1.6 C2 GT before at work and that was fairly nippy, but new clio will obviously way alot more.

Cheers, Jon

If you want one, get this... no doubt the best mk3 on the forum.

I can vouch for the one in the link will pull from 40 to silly speeds in 5th gear without a problem, less rattles than a Mk2 and even being that low is still a comfy ride.

Worth it just because I've driven it

ive only got experiance with mk2's but we have both a 1.6 16v 110bhp Dynamique and a 1.5 DCi 100 Dynamique.

the 1.6 16v is faster overall when your screaming thru the revs, but around town the 100 is quicker due to all that torque and it has much less torque than the newer dci 106's which now also have a 6 speed box and the dyn S 1.6 doesnt.

it all depends on cash really, the DCi 106 is probably quite expensive compaired to a similar spec and millage 1.6 16v but it would be the dci for me.
