RSI or 16v?

[Anonymous]

I am looking to buy a 1.8 clio tomorrow but not sure wether to go for the RSi or the 16v

The insurance difference is about £100 in favour of the RSi but I prefer the looks of the 16v

What are your opinion?

Thanks

16v every time for me.

 

[unofficialPete]

16v no questions asked.

 

[lawson706]

Valver all day, better looking, quicker, nicer to drive, better residuals etc etc etc

valver looks much better but i would say that the rsi is a bit more reliable. also the rsi has loads of low down torque. but the valver is very revvy. depends what you want really. i would prob go valver just because they look much better.

 

[Rich]

Got to be the Valver.

 

[Caz 755]

Valver does it for me!

 

[neil80]

Valver also for me. My g/f has a RSI, soon to be for sale if anyone is interested, but the Valver just looks better, sounds better and goes better once revved past 4000 rpm!

Go for the RSI, simply because its a wolf in sheeps clothing, and faster through the twisties:rasp:

 

[Turkish]

Definately the valver, for looks and performance reasons.

 

[Scott]

how is the rsi more reliable Paul??
Valver everytime personally. Did i mention mine was for sale?

[Martin]

[superrichie]

Err?

the rsi does not look gash like the Valver and is faster through the bends:rasp:

Sorry mate but its gotta be a blue un:approve:

[Craig.]

[Ross16V]

yep naples red valver all the way!

 

[TONY16V]

valver all day u muppet rsi pretty gud but u would regret buying rsi after a week where as valver keeps surprising you.

 

[Dan_mk1]

the rsi does not look gash like the Valver and is faster through the bends:rasp:

LMAO, the rsi looks like a 1.2! And how is it faster through the bends?!

 

[James.]

valver all day u muppet

LOL

Valver - cant comment on performance as I havent driven one, but on looks alone, it has to be the 16v.

RSi's are great fun for embarrasing people away from the lights, a real sleeper. But go for the Valver mate! I ended up spending thousands just to make mine look and go like one!

 

[Matty]

Valver just looks right with arches and bulges and extra dials are helpful.

This seems a good buy:

But then you still miss the presence that a Valver or Williams has with its different body.

 

[FincH]

Valver.

Only someone who stupidly bought an RSi will say RSi over Valver.

 

[clioworld]

Valver everytime just for the sexy wide arches alone!

 

[Ian_182]

Get a valver mate.An extra 8 quid a month will mean nothing in insurance compaired to the smile you'll have on your face

Stupidly...... not at all !!!! imo the valver looks GASH, but hey thats only my opinion,
There must be more of you in favour of the RALLY SPORT INJECTION

 

[mrpink]

I'm a lover of the RSi, love the sleeper look.

had a few valvers now and they def take a bit of looking after imo.

had an rsi for 2 years also and hasnt missed a beat! also the opinion of a few friends that have had both as well.

 

[Paul C]

Valver.

Not true at all! I had both and they are different cars imo. the rsi has loads more lowe down grunt but the valver revs well! depends what you are after.

i agree the valver looks much better though

I respect your opinion but I think they look lovely. Can't see how they can look so gash when they do look very similar to a nomral clio except for slightly wider arches and a bonnet vent...must make them gash though I suppose.

I'd say it was stupid as so many people with RSi's either end up buying a 16v, stay with an RSi wishing they had a 16v or get a conversion.

And where does it say it's a Rally Sport Injection?

mines never missed a beat in the 9 months ive owned it


as for valvers looking gash, pmsl:quiet:

 

[jamesy]

16v all the way trust me matey the amount of times ive heard people refer to the rsi as a poor mans valverLOL

 

[Boroboy182]

had a RSi which was a great car but still always regret not buying and owning a 16v so 16v for me.

 

[neil80]

Valver wins hands down then!!

for a car to be a sleeper doesnt it have to be fast?
