The clio is going ...

[K1NGY]

After a great 2 years of my 1.2 she has finally been sold !

Im really going to miss the clio But the rattles and the general day to day fustration with a 1.2 wont


Heres the replacement anyhow:

So happy with it, pulls like a train and drives really nicely
Cruse control, AC, great MPG and i spose a few extra doors will help out


Bring on the haters?

Everyone seems to be buying these lol. What's the fascination? They're good cars but I'm guessing you're still pretty young!

A diesel Skoda.

Imagine announcing that choice a few years ago. lol.

I don't get it, but as long as you're happy.

I dont know it really does put a smile on my face! Sure am. suprisingly the insurance is the same as the clio so why not!

Ive had alot of stick for it, but pretty much i love it!

 

[SC03OTT]

I like it. They're looking a little dated now mind you, but still nice IMO.

 

[g.cameron]

Smart upgrade!

I almost got one of these when I got rid of my 1.2 but I was just a bit concerned incase something went wrong on it..

Really still quite like them, best colour for them too! Get it mapped and I hope you enjoy it.!

 

[CabinFever]

I had one as a courtesy car a while back; It was quite fun actually!

Enjoy.

 

[Robbles]

Nice mate, you have to get it mapped. I got my Octavia vRS done last month so much better.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

nice, pls pls PLS go and get a hybrid turbo set up for it. love seing fabia vrs's pulling 200bhp or more

 

[PP200t]

Lovely mate, wanted one of these before but they were holding their value well. Excellent choice IMO. They are supposed to drive really well!a

 

[K1NGY]

Cheers guys ive already got plans for it, coilies, black and red theme and maybe get a milteck.
Been hearing alot about these mapped so il have to look into it more

Ive seen a 200+ bhp vrs on briskoda.net its an utter animal

 

[Kieran..]

Very nice, I used to have a black vrs, loved it!! The torque was so fun!

 

[MarcB]

Get a tuning box for it and you will have fun

 

[Bluebeard]

I had one of these and I sold it after 3 days. Bored the s**t out of me staring at that god awful dashboard.

Mk4 golf gttdi is more my thing, same engine, bigger inside and a nice dash!

But all in all, it must go like a rocket after a 1.2 clio! Good upgrade.

 

[RDH]

Nice upgrade. Love the PD diesels. I did look at these for a replacement for my 1.2 last year but I absolutely hated the interior. Atleast it wont rattle!

 

[Djw Dave]

A friend has one. Seems fairly quick, IIRC they get better MPG when chipped.

 

[Brett]

Always had a soft spot for these. If I had to change to a diesel I think I'd definitely be after one.

Great upgrade from a 1.2, enjoy it mate.

 

[Kane.]

Ok, for spackers like me. What engines are in these?

Not really keen on the looks

 

[leeds_182]

'no smoke, no poke'.

 

[chriscummins7]

I wouldn't have chosen that colour tbh, I would have had a black one.

Great little cars for what they are though. I give you 6 months before you ditch it for a 1*2 though

 

[Jay.S]

That is a ugly thing.

Good upgrade from the 1.2 though.

 

[K1NGY]

its a 1.9 TDI And the insurance on it is the same as the 1.2 for me, whereas a 1*2 is more in the 3+k ball park -.-
As for the the dash bord i think its really tidy, neat a simple and you can do very cool little add ons (cup holders, storage boxes etc etc)
I did look at a black one, but after having a black clio i wanted something different, so Red it was (Blue fabia's are the Special edition ones and all go for about 7k+ [for a good one anyway])

 

[Wests Renault]

nice purchase Tom, going to bring it to a meet this year or are you deserting us now?

 

[Goodj]

not keen on red cars, but have plenty of time for Fabia vRS.

Nice upgrade anyway, get that sucker mapped up and watch 1*2's all shrink in your mirrors in between the corners.
