July Top Gear

[Eddd]

Looks like they got a slow 172. Buggers put in the claimed top speed of the 206 and MINI Cooper S Works as 140 but showed 133.8 for the Renault! Why?

 

[Scudetto]

who cares? The Clio has a big heart. They say so. Thats all that matters.

Just seems strange that they would publish a figure like that, and give the claimed top speeds for the others.

Sure is a lot to shell out fof the Works kit...

 

[Scudetto]

I guess thats all they can do - if they havent tested the cars themselves to ascertain their top speed, then they are reliant on the manufacturers figures. I guess they have tested the reno in the past for top speed, but not the Pug and the INIM.

WTF? Im sick of all this inconsistency with the 0-60, BHP and top speed times, It makes it look like youre talking bollox saying the top end is 140 when they print 133!!!!

Gets me mad.

But where is the 206 and mini cooper on the cool board? 206s are awful and minis are...well Minis (only they cost 3 times more than they are worth) Clio is the best all round car. Thats why we all own one
