Am I the only one who doesn't see what all the hype is with the V6?
Everyone raves on about road presence but having spent a lot of time around the PH1 and PH2 I really don't get it, it's not like seeing an F40, LP640 etc its a clio and it stilll looks like a clio. Ye okay it's quite a nice car, but It still has a crappy interior.
Yes it mayyyyyy be Rear wheel drive, but in a chassis that short it just shouldn't mix, then theres the fact that they are using a bigggg V6 and only getting 255bhp whats the point in making a performance car, and not extracting more power from an engine. Maybe Im just getting old.
Sure it's not the greatest handling car in the world, but it can be made better with a set of coilovers & a few tweaks. I knew what I was letting myself in for way before I got one, tbh they aren't as bad as folk make them out to be.
The whole 'ownership expereince' you get with one is mad, folk still take pics of mine & ask if it's a real Clio V6. To me the fact they built it meant that I just had to have one, right from when I first saw the press pics years ago.
At the end of the day, they are car that you either like or you don't. One thing that I always find funny is that folk who sl*g them off have never really been in one, let alone driven it. The noise from the engine literally 12 inches behind your head is great, ok it's a Laguna engine, but it still makes a nice noise when you open it up..
I've had mine for 2.5 years now, one thing will make me sell it, another one
