Mk2 Clio V6

[Infinicar]

Has anybody driven one yet. Even better has anyone ever driven a mk1 and a mk2.

Would like to know about the driving experiences of both.

Im gonna go into a dealer and request a test drive of the mk2 soon.

Please let me know how you get on with your test drive from the dealer.

 

[Tom]

just a letter saying "we will keep you up to date"

Hasnt the mk2 got 25bhp extra?

 

[paddymph]

Same here....... didnt someone say they saw one on the road a few weeks back?

[Tom]

it was me!! it was on trade plates on the m1

it has 255bhp

I have a friend who works in a dealership so he is trying to pull some strings for me.

A mk1 can now be had for less than 20k brand new.

Tempting, but I get the idea I should wait for a mk2 if Im gonna do it.

Absolutely, the Mk2 looks awesome. But then......... so does the Mk1. I cant afford either anyway. DAMN

October next year before they are available apparently - according to Jeremy Townsend on the Renault stand at the Motor Show last week.

 

[Tom]

what?

rubbish

mine is due in may

 

[geoff_clio182]

Yeah I think it was May Mark. Got to sit in the new V6 at the Motorshow (along with Mark) but not to drive it

Hopefully trading in the 1600 16V for a second hand Mk 1 V6 next year - Belfast dealer here has one in at the mo - either that or the new R-Sport Megane 2.0 16v Turbo which should kill the V6 Mk1 or 2..............

 

[Tom]

eh? i put my name down on the waiting list at press day and they wouldnt let me sit in it!!!

you bloody jammy gits

 

[geoff_clio182]

Perks of knowing someone at Renault Tom.

Anyone got any specs on the Megane Renaultsport? I know its a 2.0 16v Turbo pushing over 200bhp....but I doubt itll be a V6 eater!

 

[Jeremy Townsend]

I never said October, the first cars will be here in May

 

[Tom]

i know it runs the 2.0l turbo engine from the vel-satis (megane)

 

[Infinicar]

Well I prefer the mk1, but the mk2 has been sorted out suspension and engine wise (basically what the mk1 should have been!)

Pity about the front tho. And I dont think the mk2 face will ever grow on me.
