looking at buying newer clio

[Jjay]

as title says, im getting fed up of my mk2 ph1 non sport, so i went down to my local renault guys and had a look at what they got

so it is now between a 1.5 DCI on a 2009 plate,
or a 1.6 VVT on a 2006 plate.

anyone got any opinions on either of these?

 

[The Fatty]

forget them and get a 182 lots more fun and still good mpg!

 

[Revels]

Do you need a diesel? Do you want another slow car?

What's your budget? Are you a little bambino so insurance hurts still?

 

[daveski]

How much are the cars? Do you have the cash or looking at a loan?

 

[Jjay]

revels i am a little bambino! and yes insurance is a killer on a sport... or id love to have one! if i could i would already!

 

[The Fatty]

If I was buying a non sport, I would get the 1.2 TCE (which I have); its good on the inssurance, is quite nippy and has that special turbo whistle

i looked at one and they sold it yesterday
would have loved that one... just in 2 minds with what to do

I wouldn't bother with the 1.6 probaly not any better than a 182 on MPG but then your stung with inusrance on both cars really.

Diesel is probaly a good shout, cheap insurance, cheap to run and very cheap road tax

Plus you can do some good mods to get the power/torque up

Does it have to be a Clio?

I'd be looking at a "warm hatch" if I was you.

Fair enough.

I'd still be looking a a fiesta zs etc. seem to be very popular.

I'd save the money and wait till your insurance comes down.

How come you are fed up with the 1.6?

just too much needs doing with it tbh...

 

[Edd]

What about something like a Saxo Vtr/MK4 Fiesta zetec s? Keep the money and buy a Trophy when you are 21.

 

[.Andy.]

Save the money is the best option, Although i know where your coming from. Some days i look at my RB and think, yeah im fed up with you. Then i drive it :evil:

1.6 ph2? Much nicer interior, climate/ a/c.

 

[edde]

Dci of that choice but wouldn't spend the money on a 86.
