In your own time...

 

[Ian_182]

When your ready

My mate wants to know what are generally the good and bad points of owning one, also bearing in mind he has never drove a rear wheel drive car in his life

 

[Ian_182]

Running one is expensive,not good mpg,expensive tyres(for a clio) and generally keeping a V6 as an everyday car

 

[Leeshez]

Watch where you park it. Some scally could attack it.

Turning circle of a supertanker, but they sound the sex

Tell your mate to get over to www.v6clio.net & all will be revealed, heaps of info there (i know there is here, but imo there's more on there)

As above, to sum up a sentence to get a decent mk1 you need to spend 10k, 15k+ for a mk2, watch out for cars with too many owners, and the cambelts are very expensive, and finally Illiad blue is for arse bandits.

Bad points only 2 seats and not practical!

Good points amazing to dry and amazing cars

Special costs a few quid more.

 

[Fred@BTM]

from memory it cost £60 to fill up and that would net 250miles of various driving

you can empty the tank from full in under 3 hours when "having it"

on the mk2 tyres are approx £700 odd for a set (fronts are specially made for the car on the mk2) mk1 tyres are much cheapers IIRC

brakes aren't too expensive

cambelt is a biggie, if you're buying a mk1 it MUST have had a belt, clutch and waterpump change IMO, the early 53platers (mk2's) aren't far off a belt change now

If he's considering a Mk.1 - tell him to take it easy.......... very easy. You can't just chuck these things around like you can with a 172 or 182.

60mpg+
Very well built
Do not brake easily and you can beat them into the ground like you can a 172
quiet to drive
Great for town driving as 3 point turns are easy.
No one will be jealous and there wont be anyone who wants to bash your car.
