mk1 v6 - Evo - Best car for £10k...

[ppysjrh]

Evo dropped on the doormat yesterday, there's an article about the best cars you can get for £10k. mk1 v6 comes out on top vs Impreza RB5, Esprit S4, '96 M5, Audi RS2, Chimera & RX7. Then it goes on to be rated higher than, wait for it, a new Panda 100HP.

They didn't pick a 182 for the test at they are, apparantly, still depreciating quite quickly.

Another win for RenaultSport!

That's come around quick - guess its thanks to their new 13 issues per year format... Should give me something to read this week...

Spoiled it you have

Hmm proof Renault are paying Evo?

I certainly wouldn't buy the V6 over the M5, RB5 or RS2

I'd imagine that any v6 that you got for 10k would be an early one (51 reg) with a few miles on, with quite a few owners (not surprising with this car though) it would probably also need the cambelt & water pump doing too I'm talking about 'straight' cars here, no cat d or v car etc.

I will be looking to spend a fair bit more than 10k, as i'll only buy an mint example. I've been in the one they used in the mag (now that is a mint example:approve: ) - it belongs to a bloke on the v6 site

I will of course be buying the mag & comparing it to what they said when the mk1 first came out.

Neither would I.....RB5 would be my choice

Hey now guys, Renault are not paying Evo, not for this article anyway. The car was tested by all the EVO journo's present and, AFAIK came out favorite except for one who chose it as second. Not seen the article yet so cannot really comment further. True, only a rough ph1 would be around 10K but then that applied to the other cars tested too. The remit was on the day £10k-£15K.
Its a dubious honour to know your car is as good as a Fiat Panda but how must the other car owners feel?
I have writen a small article about the whole test and shoot:

For £10k it is a good value for money, i'd pay that just for the looks.

From a positive point of view, once you've mastered a Mk1 V6, any other car is a doddle! I guess like owning an early Porsche...

Didn't know RB5's were going for so little??
