Mazda 323 2.0 v6 Vs clio 16v

[16v_er]

A mate of mine is thinking of a mazda 2.0 v6, how do these compare to a clio 1764cc 16v? In terms of topspeed, 0-60, handling and looks??

 

[Englebert]

Don't think they do a V6 mate.

"Figures for the 2.0 Sport are 9 seconds 0-100 km/h with a top speed of 198 km/h (124 mph)"

Thats a Mazda 3, he's on about the old 323

Thought they were supposed to be fairly quick, Golf VR6 quick, dunno how they compare nowadays.

They used do a 2.5 V6 for that MX6 i think, the big coupe thing.

I know they put a 2.0 V6 in the MX3 as I tried one once, so I expect it found it's way into the 323 also.

 

[Englebert]

Interesting...wonder what its like? The Mitsi FTO has a small V6 as well doesn't it?

 

[MarkCup]

I thought it was a V6 1.8 in the 323? I'm sure they used to lay claim to putting the smallest V6 engine into mainstream production?

They did do a 2.0 V6 that was in the Xedos 6, and a 2.5 V6 that, as above, was in the MX-6, and also the Xedos 9.

After a bit of surfing it looks like it was actually a 1.8 V6!! Even stranger. I just remember it being a V6 and an auto.....and very s**t. lol

Edit: beaten to it.

 

[clio head]

[JJsRT]

Yes its this one? can anyone compare em? I would reckon the clio would have a better power to weight ratio?

Friend at work wanted something a bit more economical than his Supra so he bought a Mazda MX-3 1.8 v6, I believe this is the smallest capacity V6 in production, of the top of my head I think it had 130 BHP.

 

[RobHardyUK]

they didnt do a v6 in the 323. it was in the mx6. The platform is based on the ford probe. though the engines are different. as the probe had a 2.5 v6. it was a 2.0 v6 in the mx6. the 323s engines were just 4s. Im full of useless car s**t know one cares about.

The MX3 had a 2.0 V6, and i am almost sure it came in the 323F aswell.
