Simon.






I do think that the Clio V6 is the last of the really extreme machines that Renault did get right! Wont be another like it again.. but I would hope that Renault prove me wrong! Not liking any of the new shapes that are rolling out now..

 

[CraigV6]

Yes time will tell and I doubt even you Simon could say you believe that someone paid £30k for a mk1 (it can only be 4 years old maximum)??????????????

Okay lets put it like this clarkiev6 says his mk1 in red with 15k miles is worth £20,995. This would make it worth more than your mk2 Simon. Can you honestly say you agree and believe that a mk1 is worth more than a mk2?

This is one of the most ludicrous statements ever on this forum.

The V6 is a fantastic machine (I owned one for 14 months and enjoyed it for about 10 of those), but for what I need my 225 is head and shoulders above. Fantastic car.

Faster through low revs, just as fast at high revs but gets none of the attention and is thoroughly practical. Its also well built (surprisingly), looks good and feels like it handles better than the mk1.

Sorry to go off topic, but thats what we do in this forum.

But you have to remember Jeremy C always said he would definately in his garage of top 10 cars of all time (the MK1 that is)






think you mean (the MK2 that is)....

Simon.

No def. MK1 - Have it on a Clarkson Vid from 2000 - Not denying the MK2 is Awesome too. Just think this is a car that should be twitchy at the rear - Just to keep up with the fun factor

I think he meant the MK2 in general not just a red one

Are you suggestioning that every V6 thread Simon sees ends up getting dumped

 

[SimonV6]

lol.....starting to look like that... I am sure its NOT my fault though, I get drawn into it by others (seem to remember tellin the headmaster the same thing at my old school)...lol and have to defend the V6 right up to the thread being locked, lets hope this doesnt go the same way....it may give me a complex....lol



Simon.

 

[vee6]

Simon ..you poor bugger your only standing up for your stylish lump of metal .. the car aint overrated . ..its here to teach us all how to drive properly.. an entertaining gas guzzler that always has something for you on every bend .. whether it be a reward or a pant filler ..something you dont get on a front wheel drive vehicle..at all !!

all those who now decide to flame me ...can kiss my hairy fat arse .. thank-you

 

[mitch_]

Well said mate.

 

[clarkiev6]

i have had the chance to sell it 12 months ago and decided i love it too much... it is on there for tax reasons only... it is so i dont own a car i just drive 1 that is up for sale...

the blue one was bought by a collector ... if he wanted a silver 1 he would have bought 1 of the 200 that were in that colour. he bought the blue on at an auction and it was trailered there not driven on the road.

if you had an rs 200 like that now it would be worth an absolute fortune...

as for craig he has bought the 225... which i drove at bedford.. and agreed with my test driver that it was a load of crap!!! good choice from a man that knows f all about cars.....

 

[SimonV6]

Hey Clarkiev6, love your 5 turbo 1 mate, very nice indeed.....how long have you had it? and whats been done to it?



Simon.

*Yawn* You seriously comparing a warm 3/5 door hatch to a Clio V6 again? Of course the 225 will be quicker, safer, cheaper....but f*ck me, how boring is that! If I was in the same situation as you and needed a MPV, Id buy a Cayenne.....because theyre better, theyre faster though low revs......

The Megane is not quicker man, it has only the same power to weight as a 182 and much worse handling.....from what I have read?

nice little family car though, if can stand the back end?

Simon.

 

[CraigV6]

I will compare the Megane 225 to the V6 mk1 as they are both 3 door Renaultsport cars and I owned a V6 previously and now own a 225.

The 225 is far better in all aspects than the mk1 V6 other than looks.

I have owned both so feel qualified to say so.

[jon_r]

No we cant. Stop going round in circles.

Now if people cant behave sensibly then I will lock it.
