Don't do it! Not after/with the M.
They aren't that slow. Sure will feel slow compared to the M, but its still a quick car.

Not good for fuel economy that

Get an R26R Megane instead!!!
MKIII 138
cant be that slow its 1400kg and 252bhp thats the same as the new meg 250 (although that probably has loads more turbo torque) and apart from the mazda mps and the focus rs from factory not many other hatches have matched that power + weight.
id imagine a decent intake and remap after a good service would improve things a lot.
however the odd ball handling and weight distribution would be more of concern on some twisty fast b roads (with all the varrying surface and weather conditions they bring)

I'd have thought they'd be fairly equal with an E36 M3... Subway posted a 0-100 video and IIRC it was just under 15 seconds, which isn't a far cry from a E36 M3.

I was kinda thinking of going either the V6 or M3 route for my next car.
My old man has just bought a brand new Merc C270 and the build quality on the german cars is brilliant!!!

Are you suggesting french build quality it bad??
Just dont try to ghetto inlet match the next one
around town 20-23, motorway 26-34mpg.
after a few mods and some weight saving, my mk1 is circa 200bhp/tonne and ive found to be about the same pace as an E36 M3.
Also not forgetting that you get 100% power down, with no wheelspin... it's certainly not a slow car.
It wouldn't keep up with an m roadster, but is definately a hoot to drive. You would miss that roof off action in the summer though!

About 2.5-3 seconds behind an M3 then, so slow
tbh, i dont think you buy a Clio V6 to go fast (cos it will try & kill you lol), you buy it to ponce about in attracting thee ladiiies ...About 2.5-3 seconds behind an M3 then, so slow
LOL! I need to drive mine more then! NO POON!
Vee should of had 100brake more then it would be awesome all round!
I'd take the vee over the BM/Caterham anyday tbh! Just hope it's as good as i remember when i drive it for the first time this weekend!

Problem is it would be nice if you could do that and go fast. 2 birds with one stone and all!

Ha, I was talking about an E36 M3, 46 would waste one but E36's aren't 12 seconds to 100 fast.
C63 AMG
Same as the 197 then! Well at least with normal day to day driving with hard driving interspersed.
