Looking at buying a Clio 1.8 16v

They look beautiful... I just love boxy cars
old cars with lax power but a sport badge = insurance group 14
piss take

Heaps now though, they mainly rotten away back in the 90's. The Fiesta RS turbo is about a group more than that, they are better, but you'll be looking at very very bad ones for the money, they too will be rotten.
The Clio would be the better bet for the money, your best of driving one tbh.
I need something about group 9/10 but its just impossible to find a car on a budget
so many friends with parents cars... pehhh

Can you not wait a few months more and up your budget? If you can get up £2500-£3k you'll be on for a Suzuki Ignis Sport. If you can live with how it looks its an awesome warm hatch, a perfect step between whilst you are waiting for hot hatch insurance heh. They are Group 8, 1.5 engine, 0-60 in 8.9 which isnt fast but its not slow either and the chassis is amazing! They are great fun to throw around and also they are still pretty new with japanese reliability.
Current car is a class C write off, I'd much prefer to get a car now, sucks tbf
Can't believe the Valver slating in here to be honest - you can tell this forum is full of your Mk2 gheyers!
Have to completely disagree with the price some people are quoting, for a grand you should have no trouble finding a very good one. Mileage doesn't really matter as long as it is serviced well.
They aren't quite as fast as a 172/182 etc, but they look kick ass, gettin rare and aren't as unreliable as you might think. You could do a lot worse.

what are the real world performance figures on a valver nowadays. well preserved model, as i'm sure it'll destroy what I'm driving at the moment.

there was a VERY nice red one that sold for £700 a month or so ago
Thanks Danec, restored faith and reminded me how beautiful they are

you will love a valver. Contrary to some belief, you dont need mega power to have fun. Power IS fun, but it's not the only way to have fun. I love my 2.0 mk1

Depends which you like the most...
they both have there plus points
valver - cheap to insure, old skool cool, better driving position and more comfy seats. Not to mention the popping on over run, makes me wood every time
172 cup - Easyier to drive, you dont have to rev it as hard to get the power and takes everything you throw at it
Ive got an old rsi slower than the 16v and its buckets of fun n still does 0-60 in 8-9 secs!
Get one you wont be dissapointed

there wasnt many of the light silvers made were there?
Nice! Any high res ones of this? I feel a new desktop coming on.
There weren't no, his ones rare as it's an N reg - also if it has factory leather in it it's very rare ! My old 'sh*t one'
lol, had factory leather in it, it's nice stuff.

a mate of mine had a light silver one on an n reg, no leather though. i had a blue one with leather a few years ago
No it hasn't.
I wouldn't say the 137bhp is woeful - the problem is the lack of torque - you really have to rev the nuts of it to go anywhere fast. Stick the Williams lump in it and there is nothing woeful about its pace at all.
Up to about 60 I found they are roughly the same (two different cars against mine) after that I found the Willy would pull. I'd be wanting a Willy lump, cams the lot tbh. I do agree about the lack of torque.
