clio v6

[Liam@redmonkey]

Was wondering what the v6 is like to drive,theres a black one where i live and it looks mint,only had my 182 for two months.What group insurance is it?

 

[ColinG]

its a group 20,

its a completely different drive to a 172/182 and takes a fair bit of learning..

the attention is unreal

the MPG is unreal!

just do it

I agree with everything above. Feels very solid a quite a bit more bulky than a 182. You'd either have to be an expert driver or slightly deranged to throw a Vee around a roundabout in the same way as a 182.

Other factors include the wider ass and front wings and the fact that the front valance is SO low. You have to be extra careful on speed bumps, etc.

The attention is definitely unreal - much more than in any other car I've been in. The noise - even in standard trim is so intoxicating. The 182 is ridiculously quiet - the V6 has a high-pitched wail to it. It sounds very similar to a standard 911 Carrera from within the car when you give it some beans....

hmmmm have to say after seeing the way they handled round the track at FCS i was dissapointed :S

Looks wise they are the dogs

 

[rory182]

handling is down to the driver, its a short wheel base RWD car therefore needs someone who knows what they're doing.

[Liam@redmonkey]

mk1 or mk2 i prefer the mk2 what the performance like on them torqu,0-60? mpg? compared to the focus rs? price 2nd hand ect..???

 

[stevo172-RWD]

my 0-60 is around 5secs and my worst rec mpg was 7mpg!!!!!!! but if i drive really slow its more than standerd! 45-50mpg!

 

[Dash]

My 0-60 is also 5secs and my worst recorded mpg was 11mpg. Must try harder I guess.

Did see 30mpg once.

 

[ant_v6]

I have seen 9mpg from mine but normally it is really good on fuel at around 15mpg.
