Holding it's value is fine - but Total cost of ownership over say 3 years will probably be about the same if you do 15k ish Miles per annum.

No Science here just my opinion
.My vote for 200. Those two cars are two different worlds; V6 is crazy, totally impractical for everyday use, demanding for drive, has a huge turning cycle, practically no boot and it is probably slower in regular traffic (narrow and or bumpy roads) and wet conditions than the 200 because of rwd combined with short wheel base and most of the weight in the back. However, it is incredible, has stunning appearance, thrilling to drive and will have the same value when you decide to sell it as when you buy it. It would be great second, third or fourth car, to be used for weekend fun, track days and show off. 200 is a very fast all rounder with a warranty and that’s the reason why I would take it as the first / only car instead of the v6.

With retrospect I should have got you to shout ... "I'm the Queen of the World" :rasp:.Yeah but I am an ASW
Better than yours. C*nt.
Let's just go through this:
Yes, the V6 is actually a good looking car.
If you want it to be, yeah!
Why? I could use mine every day and happily would if it wasn't for the fact that I get given a free car for the job.
Not really. It drives very much like a normal Clio - I sat in it on the M42 at 50mph in traffic listening to Scott Mills on the radio, just like everyone else on there. It's involving if you want to be, and civilised if you want to just relax.
Can't argue with that, but TBH the only time I have a problem with it is my drive.
I take a laptop to work. Not 6 children and 3 labradors.
I found my Vee easily as capable as the Trophy on bumpy roads - you've just got to be more careful. You still get understeer a little while before it kills you!
In the wet, any RWD can jump out and get you. It's not as bad as you think, and TBH I had to be a c**k and jump on it hard to get the back wheels to light up in the wet...

I would love a V, there is one not far from me and I drive by it sometimes just to perv!
It's always on the drive as I suspect it's a weekend toy. The only thing that put me off was running costs/parts although thinking back I wish I'd brought one instead of owning the 182 and a bike. Wouldn't of been any worse off financially anyway!

Oh you!
Oh you!
v6 all the way
200 would not even be considered

Horses for courses, I love the V6 but it would not be my choice if buying a RWD sports car, it's still a Cliio at the end of the day
I'd go for S2000 (already owned one for 2 years), 350Z etc and get something designed as a sports car from the ground up, rather than a shopping hatch converted

It would if you wanted faster around a circuit, warranty, rear seats, a boot, better economy and cheaper insurance
Depends on driver. At the likes the spa i would seriously doubt a 200 would be quicker. (Proven at the RS trackday there)
Economy...On Motorway the 197/200 is pretty chronic is it not?

V6
Clio 200 Cup
Buy a Caterham
Buy a Hyundai
Buy a Zafira
Buy an A6 Estate
Buy a Clio 1.5 Diesel
Buy a 1.0 3-cylinder Corsa
Other than that, sound advice!
I don't recall any of those alternatives being poll options.... Other than that sound advice :rasp:
Audi
Definitely the v6.
Would like a go in a 200 if anyone fancies giving me a shot
