Happy? How happy?

[Scutch]

On a scale of 1 to 7, nah, actually, lets make this different... On a scale of 1 to 10, how happy are you with your car?

State the model and your happiness mood

Although I dont have a Clio, I'll start because its my thread, right? Yes.

Subaru Impreza P1 - 9/10

There's always that extra % that wants something more. WR1 or more engine mods to be precise.

I'll do the missus, too. Hehe.

Clio 172 - 8/10 (She's happy with it, its doing the job and coming from an Evo VI thats high praise)

What say you?

 

[Neil G]

Mk2 172

I reckon about 7/10

Fun but not that exciting to drive...very reliable though and cheap to run

 

[VIICarCare]

10/10 but not quite a v6....yet

 

[Rhod.L15]

182 Trophy - 9/10

 

[MillerLight]

172 7/10.
not enough grut low down.
in 2002 i was happy but with the intro of hight powerd TDI's and now the turbo hot hatches are here, the 172 over short sprits its not as fast as it used to be!

turbo car next for me. 6-12 months time

 

[Dan@SJM]

clio 16v with 172 conversion 8/10

Happy, but still not fast enough!

 

[Nigel]

172 6.5/10

 

[Shindig]

182 - cup packs
8/10
its a gimp to keep clean, judders in a morning when cold, rattles! but bags of fun to drive!!!

 

[MarkCup]

172 Cup - very, very happy - 10/10

 

[Timmay]

black mk2 ph2 172 - 8/10 - love it cos only had it 12 days but would like engine mods and for it to magically turn into a racing blue 182

 

[Johnc172]

10/10 - awsome track toy and love surprising much more expensive metal!

 

[Steve2004]

Clio 172 ph1 - 3/10.

Too slow for me (mainly due to having no mid-range). Feels very cheap and it doesn't have any quality to it at all. Although very reliable it still feels (and sounds) like it's going to fall apart at any moment. I reckon something expensive is going to fail in the next few months. lol

Will be replacing it the instant I can afford to.

It got an extra couple of points because the 5k kick still makes me smile. A little.

And it still looks kinda nice all cleaned up. :approve:

 

[Ben.]

Clio 1.2 dynamique- 5/10

looks good, but its a still a 1.2

 

[Rage]

mk1 valver - 9/10. fast for my age, and you drive the car not the other way round.

 

[Scott Sewell]

clio 1.2 16v extreme 4 05 plate

9/10 very happy nothing has gone wrong YET!!!

it hs everything i want in a car, cd player, pedals, engine, doors, windows, seatbelts, airbags, steering wheel...
so yeah very happy

 

[Christophe]

mk2 172.

8/10

Loving it especially coming from a 1.2 8v corsa lol. Just want it lowered and would like more power

 

[clio-girl]

mk1 clio hybrid

8/10 would be more but it always breaks, but a brillaint fun car to drive when its working!

 

[mattupson]

2001 Clio Authentique (Yes, the 8v)

7/10 - Coulnd't have asked for more, for a first car

 

[JJS1979]

2003 Clio 172cup

8/10 Still makes me smile on nice sunny days when its clean, but renault build quality sucks..

 

[fuel_slut]

8/10, Couple of niggles have let it down and having to take it back to the dealer for a few things. Build qulaity isn't great either, my GF's corsa seems much better quality wise.

Apart from that im very happy with it and it has never let me down.

 

[Sarah]

172 ff

10/10 love it, its a fine machine!

 

[Andy.]

225 - 6/10. It is fugly, and actually one of the first cars that I have owned that I don't worry about being stolen.

 

[Harry182]

182 9/10. Its missing its splitter.

 

[Darren S]

I'd have to give it a 9/10. It still puts a grin on my face now - and that 2.0 16v lump still returns a healthy 34.5mpg.

It does pretty much everything I want and need from a car. Small enough, but not tiny - no kids so the rear seats hardly get used - good performance and a sorted chassis - all for a decent price.

All that's needed now is a dealership network that's on par with Honda and Toyota.

I'd definitely recommend one to someone who was interested in buying one.

D.

 

[SC03OTT]

1.2 16v 5/10

rushed into buying it and i wish i hadnt bothered as i can actually afford to buy/run something bigger and better (meggy gt or astra sri)

 

[Ian_182]

Focus TDCI.

Happy.....so so,its a good workhorse and does 400 miles on 40 quid round town
Dont think it will get nicked and its lovely to drive

Ill give it 6/10 because although not bad for a tdi its not very fast,but handling is great

 

[ADY 554D]

182 f/f

7/10 when it needs a wash
9.5/10 after a good wash and polish and i take it for a good blast round...

 

[clio__chris]

mk2 1.6 16v

6/10
happy enough with it, reasonably quick and hasnt broken down apart from a few teething problems. just want something a bit faster, louder, lower, and just more hardcore

 

[Christopher]

Fisher Price 182 9/10

 

[Paul Common 666]

172 ff - 10/10

Had my yozzasport exhaust fitted on monday so im over the moon with it at the moment! :approve:

 

[AmDaMan]

Clio Dimma Hybrid.

6/10

It's pretty quick, and suprises a few people, good handling.

But suffers from porblems time to time.

 

[brisa4984]

172 ff 7/10

+ points: flame red looks ace. 172ps for 5k is a bargain. twisties
- points: getting bored so i think its time to mod suttle or perhaps save for a wr1 or dc5.

 

[Maxx]

My rsi - 4/10 as it still needs lots of work done to it. When its done tho i'll give it 9/10

 

[*lee*]

9/10 still one of the best hot hatches pound for pound, such a fun car, would of been 8/10 but i added a extra point due to being liquid yellow

 

[Andy.]

Clio Dimma Hybrid.

6/10

It's pretty quick, and suprises a few people, good handling.

But suffers from porblems time to time.

Photos?

 

[antmant]

DCI80 - 6/10

Knocking noises from front end that I can't get rid of and it sounds like a tank! but great mpg

 

[Owen]

182 - 7.5/10

I like the looks, chucking it round corners, good mpg and that 5k kick.

I dont like how frantic it sounds cruising at 80ish on m'way (coming from a 4.0 v8 that did 80 at about 1500rpm), the squeeking dashboard and the random knocking from the engine mounts/suspension/whatever..oh and the dealers.:dapprove:

 

[rustybolt]

FF172 - 7/10

+ points - fun to drive, gets plenty of looks, cheap to run.

- points - not fast enough, s**t build quality.

 

[J03]

1.2 16v.. 5/10

happy because its faster than all of my mates cars for a 1.2, picks up quite good but also ends quite fast...

pain.. need to fix some dints and paint work... exhausts needs tightening up cuz it rattles. not electrical faults yet.. drives like its on a forever ending road of road humps... really feeling the lack of power.. what the heck what do u expect for a first car lol

 

[GarethM]

my mk1 172

had it for 2 yrs

things started to go wrong on it now so id have to say 7.5/10
