charge a CTR!
the v6 is more desirable etc but................tough one!
I dont think its a tough call...............mid engined & RWD has it every time..............unless you want to choose on looks or practicallity then its down to need / personal preferance eh

lol
isnt the V6 a grp 20 and ctr grp 17? plus ctr is way more economical and common. Not really two cars youd put together?
If youve got the money and not bothered about the practicality get the V6 while you have the chance!
A CTR is a sensible car choice! get one of them anytime!

The mk1 v6 looks and sounds great, the CTR is just as fast (if not considerably faster
Personally Id prefer to polish the v6
Not sure I agree with that cause FWD & mid engined would leave the CTR standing...............and it wont catch up.................just a thought eh

You can get a mk1 V6 for a bargain £13k these days - maybe less if you haggle.
I get 27.5mpg out of mine.
As others have said, theyre not really comparable - practical & fairly commonplace 4 seater 4 pot screamer, v/s exclusive 2 seater 6 pot monster.
Theyre very different cars, but personally Id choose the Vee every time, though if I had to lug a family around, or maybe had more points on my license, Id go for the CTR (nearly bought one a couple of years ago!).
Stus v6 bear in mind the 0-100 of both cars is practically the smae (CTR a tad fatser if you want to split hairs it will and does catch up, which means its faster once rolling.
Yes all the above is based on v boxed stats and drivers can make a difference but the post wasnt about 1 driver vs another
V
v6Max
I had to make the choice - test drove both and bought the V6. The CTR has dull, lifeless steering, only felt quite quick and it just wasnt that special an experience.
I spend a fair amount of time on track and dont see many CTRs and when I have done theyve been nothing special in the handling department. The only exception was a charged one I saw at Bedford 3 weeks ago - the guy and spent 21k on mods (i.e. in addition to the car at 15k) - it was quite quick and had trick suspension.
The maximum MPG I get out of mine is 33mpg and lowest is...dont ask!
I do a lot of miles on the motorway, so its spending most its life in 6th gear, though I do give it some punishment when I can!
While I think of it, I remember renault writing to me whilst I was on the waiting list for the V6, and they had a spec comparison sheet, which compared the Vee against the Audi TT 225, Porsche Boxster, and Subaru Impreza WRX (if I remember correctly), so I guess those were the sort of cars they intended the Vee to be competing against in the showrooms, and NOT the CTRs & Golf GTis of this world.
Bit harsh!
