Newbie about the take the clio leap,

[matt 1b]

Hi guys thought id pop in a say hi

Going to look at my Mk2 172 tomorrow

Iv thought about getting one for ages but kept going back to honda vtecs. Iv just sold a scotia white Evo 6 due to longer work travel and the fuel etc it was a great car running mild evo power around 360bhp but still good fun. Before that im from a long line of honda's over the last 8 years in 5 Integra's DC2'2 & 5's, 2 EP3 Civics and an S2000 so it will be great to compare the Clio to the Tegs and Civics in the FWD handling department iv heard nothing but good things so hope its right up there!

I was going to get a Fiesta Zetec S mk5 like I had when I was 18 but fun they are I just couldnt do it too myself after the Evo so hope the Clio is a good half way house. Iv got a 30 mile motorway commute so hoping the fuel will be good in the week and acceptable at weekends on the back roads but coming from a 15mpg Evo when in traffic it cant get worse lol

Anyway hope this forum is as informative and usful as the honda forums and MLR etc and I might even become a fun memeber

Thanks

Matt

Sounds good mate. Welcome

Any pics of your previous cars?

Just to let you know, there is no such thing as a Full Fat 172

I wouldn't say clios are rapid, but with decent tyres n suspension it's awesome in the corners, just be sure to upgrade the brakes it's what I think let's the Clio down
