Clio 182 cup
A couple of my old one.....
Clio 182 & Saxo VTR
I know the Evo 8 is a better car for a similar price but damn, id still have the vee anyday.

You'll probably find all the 'lower end' of the price range Mk1s are dogs/damaged recorded or damaged and have crappy repairs. Was certainly the case when I was looking.
You can't beat it for getting looks and sparking up conversations in petrol stations either heh.

I fully agree with you mate, people think... ooh mk1 vee 10k bargain !Yeah the chances are that it will be a dog, or indedd recorded.
At the end of the day you get what you pay for, always have & always will.
A decent mk1 is still worth over 12k to the right person.
They did yeah. Tbh at that time the vee only just scraped into the category. A 10k is likely to be rubbish (based on when I was looking for one)

Worth noting as well, that in the £10k heroes article, Evo did state the one they were testing had been damaged at some point in it's life and fully rebuilt by some Motorsport place heh.
Good ones for sub £11k are rare, the odd one goes through V6Clio.net, because of owners needing a quick sale.

True, it was cat D in the past (although one of these can be classed cat D for very little real damage) and rebuilt by Mark Fish and by all indepenent accounts is better than the day it left Sweden!
Moral is, as long as you are sure it has been dealt with properly by someone who knows about these cars then there are some incredible bargains to be had.
And the reason there is a glut of 5 year old cars right now? Cam belts need changing @ around £1k ( Alex stick advert here:rasp: ).
They look stunning.
Do prefer the MK2 but i dont think it offers the level of performance that i would want. I always think the V6 should be Evo pace but its not. Alot of money for little more gains than a 182 which would make it difficult for me to fork out.
That said a V6 is all about posing!

I've recently taken a shine to them.
Would actually buy one above most other cars for the money (can't though, especially with what's coming my way)

I'd be VERY suprised if a V6 didn't royally own a 182 in a straight line. Round a corner it's going to be close, but then what 1500kg car isn't a 182 close with round the bends ?
SEX WEE OMG WOW SEX WEE WOWOWOWOW liquid yum yum V6 yum yum even more sex wee YAY WOO DAYM SEX

liquid yello ftw all day everyday
No.
Check 1/4 mile times (Just checked standard = 14.6).
Mildly modded Williams pull that.
You expect more, that is my point.
Your all missin the main point of the vee...It's not about power and handling...Don't get me wrong it is Hugely fast above 90 and handles well on track, ask anyone that was at cadwell!
The car is all about rareity and bein exclusive, Somebody nearly crashed earlier leaning out the window starin at mine!! Cracks me up and simple things like walkin up to it from across the street or having people come up to you at petrol stations. It's a magical experience that all i can say.
The car could be slower than a 172 and i wouldn't care....
And if i was bein honest...sure i'd like another 50brake. But it's quick enough to keep up with a TB'd 172 and my mates evo about 100!
All depends what you want a car for, I loved the looks from the moment i passed my test and always said i'd buy one!
no regrets!

Mpg - anywhere from sub 20 to about 31 was my best ever driving like a fag on a long run in heavy traffic.
I'm not gonna lie, the pose ability is massive. The full balls out performance difference between the 182 and V6 in a straight line isn't that great - but in daily driving the Vee is much quicker because it has loooooooooooooads of torque from very far down the rev range (the Mk1 makes it's peak torque a fair bit lower than the Mk2, and it's peak power). I've only played with one 182 in real life on the roads - and it was up a hill (crawler lane) and the huge torque advantage I had off the roundabout meant I owned him a bit hehe On the flat I'm sure the difference would've been far less pronounced.
And people always let you pull out of junctions I find heh. And as Ali touched on, it seems hugely quick and at it's best at higher speeds - the way it pulls from about 90 to some quite high speeds, even in 6th, is quite impressive. And in a straight line on the roads, it's a touch quicker than a stock, base WRX Impreza (they're 214bhp or something?), which is always handy

Couldn't you buy a decent Mk1 for about 12k and then spend like 6k to turn it into an absolute beast?
