If the next clio RS...

Tom · May 19, 2005

Is any good would you buy it?

I really dont want to buy another clio but i really dont need a bigger car.

RacerStu · May 19, 2005

Would be nice if its good, but I want to keep my 172 for a long time and then buy a much faster car so prob no

But if its really good I might be tempted.

JJ! · May 19, 2005

depends how goodand price and the competition which will be quite good me thinks

_Kenny_ · May 19, 2005

think Im going to get one of the last 182s hopefully at discount price!

I wouldnt mind the new clio RS but couldnt justify spending 17k on it!

rcp · May 19, 2005

would definately consider it

® Andy · May 19, 2005

Planning on sticking with the V6 ...

... at least until the warranty runs out but dont tell the missus

Bryan · May 19, 2005

that would be a no from me

telford_mike · May 19, 2005

When the time comes to change the V6 the new RS Clio will be high on my list of possibles if its any good.

Iain C · May 19, 2005

doubt it....i need a turbo!

Phill1978 · May 19, 2005

il wait until the heavier new RS come out with its big wheels then il capitalise on the depreciation and get myself a cupped 182 maybe with recaros or a 182cup with recaros.

perhaps get a yellow 182 or a petrol blue.

the next RS is aimed squarley at the UK market so it will sell far more than the 182/172 and be as common as the audi TT.

but its heavier and has probably 20hp more so in reality prob not much faster or a fun.

rmccardal · May 19, 2005

Hell no. Once I am done f**king with my one, I am getting a 5GT and an A3. The two renaults will be used at weekends for having a laugh.

eerrr,,

.... LOL..

jonnyboy · May 19, 2005

if the list is 17k youll be able to get them for 14.5 if you look around I think it will be incredible, 200BHP if its well honed will be simply awsome in a car that size. Does anyone actually know if its heavier or are we just speculating?

Nightfire · May 19, 2005

Nah, my next car will hopefully be a jap car

billy182 · May 19, 2005

i would need to see it in the flesh first, but from the odd picture flying about it looks nice,so mmm a possibility.

jonnyboy · May 19, 2005

wonder if it will rattle?

Toypop · May 19, 2005

I will make sure I have the money available to buy the CTR so the new Clio will have to do more than compete on price and truly be a better car when performance and reliability are concerned. At £17k it wont be allowed any flaws.

seren 182 · May 19, 2005

Ill get one if the wife will let me.

chris-b · May 19, 2005

meggy 225 next for me,trophy hopefully.

jonnyboy · May 19, 2005

nah dont get a meg m8 they are pants

chris-b · May 19, 2005

LOL,yeah right

Bloke on our roads got an inferno one.Drool over it every day!How you findin yours?

bonza172 · May 19, 2005

v6 for me maybe a soon as next year dont they stop making them this july or is it next?

chris-b · May 19, 2005

afaik its this july.

(prolly wrong though!)

DaveLiquid182 · May 19, 2005

Its this july

Brian · May 20, 2005

Ive pretty much already decided ill be getting one, subject to the competition at the time.

at the end of the day Renault arent stupid (or are they?

) theyre not gonna build a car thats crap that people wont buy.

lol going off every other clio thats been made thats a yes !

Dash · May 20, 2005

Ill stick with mine until its replacement comes out.

Funkyjahooner · May 20, 2005

Hell i cant justify having my 182 now,only doing 5k a year in it and it spending most of its time locked up in my garage waiting for me to have a day off to take it out

So,no for me.I dont think performance and handling and equipment levels will be that much better to want one that much.

Im going to keep my 182 and love the fact they dont make them anymore and i have one in mint condition waiting to pleasure me

I have always been slightly envious when every now and then you see a superb specimen of a car out of production with low miles in mint condition,like a 205 Gti for example.Well now ill have chance to be in that position

wrx-172 · May 20, 2005

If it is as good as stated may be tempted. Think it will impress the competition and should live up to the name

Chili Red · May 20, 2005

I reckon Ill get one..by the time I can afford one Ill have had the 182 for 2 years which is always the time I change my cars! I make that June 2007.

Munson · May 21, 2005

I intend to hang on to my 182 for a good few years, perhaps spending a few grand on a major power hike when the warranty runs out, rather than a new car. A like the idea of a mint 05 Cup with circa 200bhp+

hmmmm, not sure i would want a 182 thats out of warranty

Munson · May 21, 2005

Not even a mint one with 200bhp? 185/ton? 0-60 in 6?, 0-100 in 15?

Mondial172 · May 21, 2005

No for me. Although Ive never had a problem with my 172 Cup. I wouldnt want another Renault - Shock stories about all youre 182s in and out the dealers all the time! Put me right off them!

Although the dealers do generally suck, its not fair to presume the Clio is a hugely unreliable car based soley on stories you read here. People generally only complain when something is wrong. For every member here with problems, theres probably another thousand more with none.

dk · May 21, 2005

i will be having one.

Oh and re dealers and 182s, read my Renault Service thread in here!

littleone · May 21, 2005

17k

blink172 · May 21, 2005

It wont be £17K.

Yes ill have one

Or ill some something a little more impractical, who needs comfort when work is only 4 miles away.

TheRoninV6 · May 21, 2005

Porche will hopefully be my next car

or maybe a M3 if i need something a bit more practical. Dont think ill ever buy another Renault unless they make something really special. Renault seem to have there exterior styleing spot on, they just need a nice interior to go with it, i love the exterior on the 225,182 and V6s but there interiors are crap.

If the next clio RS...
