Returning to Clio ownership

[richo]

Hello

I was just wondering if anyone has done the jump back to a Clio Sport?

I had a Clio 172 Cup before which I absoutely loved and kept it for 2 years. I decided to sell up and get myself a Mazda 3 MPS Aero (mk1) as I fancied a change of scenery and wanted a Turbo!

Now I kind of feel i'd like to go back to Clio ownership again with perhaps a 182, just loved the small hatchback feel and the Clio was just so much fun!

Has anyone done a similar sort of thing, how did you find it?

I have just done this, going to pick up my 172 Cup tonight.

Something about the clios

Yeah, I did. Sold my Arctic Blue 182, and bought a Pt Cruiser 2.2. Missed my Clio straight away, but kept the Chrysler for 3 years due to other money commitments, then got my Liquid Yellow 182 last December. I'll keep this a while till I can afford to swap it for a LY 197 or 200

Had a clio 172 cup from new for 6 years, sold it and bought an Audi A3 2.0T Sline. Audi was a lovely motor but so dull, kept it a year but now back in another 172 cup. It rattles and is an absoulte shed compared to the Audi but it puts a smile on my face everytime i drive it! Cant beat the clio for cheap fun if you ask me.

Glad I'm not on my own here, think you summed it up nicely.
