Mk2 Clio V6 or Mk3 Clio 200

[Revels]

Purely hypothetical question, but which would you have?

Mk2 V6 (Acid/Liquid)

v

Mk3 200 (Alien/Glacier)

I'm still trying to decide (since I thought of this topic about 20mins ago) the 200 would be brand new. Nobody else farting on your nice new seats. Warranty to sort anything that goes wrong. But then there's just something about the V6. Maybe that's because I'm an ASW. Who knows.

So which would you have? Any colour/cup combo or whatever but no "I wouldn't. I'd spend £4k on a 172 and £10k making it have 180bhp" as those answers are stoooopid!!!

lol, don't ruin my thread.

I was trying to avoid any vs/speed type comments!!

The V6 is a Laguna.




A pretty, ASW Laguna, but meh.

 

[E11OOT]

v6 at least it will hold it's value well and looks better

 

[pip.]

The V for sure, inspite of the fact that V owners themselves say it aint so hot on the road and is mainly for extending you mate downstairs.
IMO, Renos have got less good looking since the mk2 and it started around around January 2004. :rasp:

If anyone wants me I'm outside in the Anderson shelter.

 

[Martin_S]

V6 everytime.

It will still have that "wow" factor long after the 200 has been forgotten about.

 

[EdV6220]

Chalk and cheese...

 

[Aluco]

200, alien green.

 

[Nigel]

200 for me.

Like the V6 but it'd have to be a 255 and I don't think i'd find a mint one for the same cost as 200.

Plus I love having a car no one else has owned.

 

[Needster]

Nigel knows.

 

[cat171]

The vee. At the end of the day it won't depreciate that much, where as I guess that the 200 will be hit hard.

 

[davesport172]

two words. vee, six.

get out! How many things are outstanding to be fixed on your bucket!

when you say bucket, are you talking automobile? or lady schnitzel?

 

[Dash]

As you are one of the CS billionaires, I don't suppose holding value is important to you. Your admission of wanting yourself or the car to be noticed strikes me as being the winning factor here.

Go for the v6, just in case some or all of the above isn't 100% factual.

At least mine has airbags. You crash, and you'll ruin that pretty Jew nose.

ruin or fix?

 

[Chris V6 255]

Get a V6 run it for a year then get an Alien Green 200 for 11k next year!
Problem solved

 

[Chili Red]

V6, even if it's only for a year, just to own one. Then get the 200, or whatever version is around then.

EDIT: I didn't even read what Chris said above before I posted! Great minds etc

 

[maz172cup]

that makes sense +1

NO LOVE!

ruin or fix?

Ruined. Sculpted by da Vinci himself!

 

[Chris V6 255]

Just make sure its had cambelt done

 

[jesus]

v6 as I'm also an ASW +*+*+*

The 200 if I wanted a car solely for handling and performance though.

 

[® Andy]

172/182/197/200s are fun for a year or two. Vees are for life! Never had a car for 4 years ever, and no plans to change mine!

 

[BREMBO]

Easy.

 

[Addz]

vee for me! 200 is faster on a track and stuff but on a road the vee handles well and its fast enough for me at the moment!

 

[jesus]

Vee sounds nicer too!

 

[Ali]

Vee won't be much if at all slower on track!! The 200 will be easier to drive fast...But your talkin tenths!

 

[Beef-Mc]

Has to be the Vee, just so I can roll with the aviators on looking down on the peasants.

 

[Addz]

Vee won't be much if at all slower on track!! The 200 will be easier to drive fast...But your talkin tenths!

thats what i meant having said that i've never once felt the vee has let me down in the corners and it coped well with a matlock blast with a few off here apart from being a bit wide!

 

[Timmay]

vee in acid yellow gets my vote - well thats what i want....

 

[Bluebeard]

Me personally, I'd want the 200 as I do a few track days. f**k taking a Vee!!

BUT a V6 is on my list of the next 4 cars to have, hopefully before xmas

 

[Marky_]

Pains me to say it but probably the 200.

 

[Ali]

Vee's a hoot on track! More than capable!

 

[Bloooor]

I'd have neither. Clio's are W*nk.

 

[Rob R26r]

I'm suprised you have to ask really Dan as you normally have an answer for everything

V6 gets my vote.

 

[ukaskew]

If I seriously had the money for the initial outlay, probably a Vee for a year then sell up and get a 197 Cup or something.

Not sure if I could afford to run the Vee long-term, but I'm also guessing I wouldn't want to give it up after a year either.
