How practical is the V6 (56k ish)
- Thread starter daveh
- Start date
my dealer said blue was the fastest colour, so obviously i went for a blue one.
I must admit the attention does get a touch annoying. At first it was great, but now it is a pain in the backside!!!!!
Saying that I would never under any circumstance part with the V. Keeping it in totally standard form until it gains classic status.
I have, however, had to stop using it as an every day car. Want to keep it mint and at very low mileage, so have bought a second (more sensible) car to run around in.
One tip; unless you mind kids around it prodding and poking about 5 times a week - get a garage! My next purchase is a house with a garage.
Theres no question. Black is the faastest.
By the way, just driven up the road, Ms Spears is on the opposite side completely starkers and no ones looked at my car. Gutted.

Thats because I was on the other side of the road in my RED V6, they were all looking at me......

I was looking at Miss Spears though, almost crashed the car...lol
Yeah you never know with that girl. Best to stick to Ms.

Black looks by far the best of the two though!!!!!!!!!!!
In your opinion, and black are a real b*****d to clean and keep clean, had black cars before, wont have one again, RED always looks clean.....and FAST....

We seem to be going a little bit of TOPIC here.......
i find problems with parking the Vee in car parks single bays, it is a little wider than other cars, and im not happy with the room left for other drivers.
i tend to occupy the disabled bays, and do the old ali G limp away from my car.
i dont use mine everyday, infact its purely a weekend toy. i wouldnt personally drive it everyday - rain might wash the paint off
, no really im just too careful where i take it so use my other car instead forthe daily grind.

Well, just back from the Vees first practicality test, a weekend in Devon - 500 mile round-trip from here. Rained all weekend, but no problems for the car. Got 27 mpg, and all the luggage fitted no problem at all.
Just finished cleaning it - those wheels are an absolute *!!~?| (insert expletive) to clean!

Have you tried MC2 from the Wax Wizard? I use it everytime a clean the cars now and just spray the wheels first, leave for a couple of mins and then jet wash the crap off.Admittedly these particular wheels are easier to get into but Ive had an R32 which use similar wheels to the Clio V6 and other difficult to get into wheels and it does work very well.

You can also cantact Mark (Wax Wixard) through his website http://www.waxwizard.co.uk/http://www.waxwizard.co.uk/
Although I have read on a few different forums that there was some controversy regarding fake Swissol.
From my own experience with Mark, he washed and polished both my Audi and Porsche and the results were excellent which is why I bought 2 gallons of the MC2 (Multiclean) that he apparantly mixes himself purely for the wheels.
