What do you like best about ya clio...

[Gweebs]

As above?

For me it has to be 2nd gear.

Its like a smack in the face that never fails to give me a smile...

 

[bmh.01]

Might not be a RS but it as close as i'm gonna get at the moment, yep 2nd with my foot in the carpet never fails to raise a smile.

 

[LegoHead]

1st,2nd,3rd,4th. Endless power never drops with smt6.

Plus the popping noise from the exhaust when letting off the throttle at high revs.

The seats are very supportive, compared to most cars.

Love the fact I am short and can lie down in the back .

 

[Gweebs]

Love the fact I am short and can lie down in the back .

LOL :lolup:

 

[RobertCL]

Putting my foot down in 3rd while doing 60mph and feeling the kick.

And the fact that taking it steady you can still get around 40mpg

 

[Thomss]

Yep 2ng gear always good for a smile I like the seats and look of the car too.

 

[kully]

the look u get from other ppl when u drive ..............priceless

 

[Nez]

3rd for me... and the head turning noise when you cog it down a gear or two!

 

[M1TCH]

the look u get from other ppl when u drive ..............priceless

do you mean the laughs kully. lol

just kiddin.

 

[Fletcher]

Second gear and the xenons.

 

[Djw John]

The handling

 

[Sheila’s’ Wheels’]

the fact that some stuck up nobs (in a Lexus 4WD, and a A4) could not get me out of their rearview mirror at 8am this morning on the M4 and associated slip roads.........

 

[D"w!Z]

it handles great and its got a decent image..

 

[DaveJwxm]

its better than other is it class like saxo's and corsa's and ..... micra:S

 

[Don]

I love the handling, some prick in a 200sx (who couldn't handle his car I will add) tried to lose me round an island (roundabout for those outside of W.mids!) and his back end started stepping out on him, when my little poor fwd car was gripping to the road like glue and doing me proud.

Also, one of my old sayings, is when the car leaves other supposedly better cars for dust and hands them back their arse on a plate!!!

 

[Neil_Mk1]

I like the fact that even though I have a mk1 it still handles great and you get so much for the price you pay compared to other cars of similar spec and age. Also I've had no mechanical failures at all, fingers crossed!

 

[makavelli]

the colour

 

[Laura]

colour 4 me also

 

[jayxx83]

Has to be the xenons, razor sharp steering response and the raw speed of the beast. I drove my mates Astra sport hatch. Even though its a 1.4 and not meant to be remotley fast, its so funny to floor the loud pedal and expect to be somewhere in the distance but end up making snail like progress in comparison.

Its made me appreciate what its about all over again.

 

[Ads_172]

The way it turns heads and earns more respect than any other similarly priced car in its class.

2nd and 3rd gears at anything over 5k revs always gets a smile!

The seats may not be the most comfy, but they look awesome too! Oh, and the white dials and aluminium gearknob...

 

[j1400]

dropping in to 3rd and not braking coming in to large empty roundabouts when everyone else is mincing in, the turn in, love it

 

[Slug172]

Embarrasing audi TT drivers who think ill show this little clio i have a supercar! They should spend more time learning how to drive instead of cutting peoples hair!

 

[Keydogg]

watching the look on peoples' face as they think "its only a saxo" and then pissing all over their "better" cars

what i hate: people looking at me and thinking "chav in a saxo"

p.s. i know this was about clios but i thought i would join in

 

[brisa4984]

---dono why but the change from 2-3rd sounds so gud!
---The colour, flame red looks lush
---The sleeperish feel the 172 can look bullyish with its wide stance but also a sleeper, conservative feel with its hidden exhaust.
---The fact that rudebois dont know what to expect till you smoke em.

 

[jwarren2k2]

The fact i own 1 of only 278 valvers made in the uk on an N plate!!
The sound of it!!
The chuckability!
The sleeperness!
And everything else!

Ive only had it 3 months so am still in hunny moon period!! LOVE IT!!

 

[Munday]

- The colour
- The power above 5k rpm

 

[jay s]

owning cars costing a fair bit more than my £900 L reg shed, got to love the look on their face, was even better when i had my mk1 fiat uno turbo, no one liked being owned by a fiat uno

 

[Stev]

Second gear and the xenons.

^^^^ u took the words right out of my mouth

 

[Bubbles]

The colour and the looks it gets me

Love it

 

[dalla]

The sound.

 

[MarkCup]

What do I love...?

The fact that I regularly go past people who can't drive their £60K+ supercars at all (have some lessons mate, far cheaper )...and that when I want it to (which isn't very often), I can average over 45mpg for a whole tank.

 

[Ally]

Love the fact I am short and can lie down in the back .

lmao, and he ain't kidding - I've seen him lying down in the back... :sleepy:

Loves:
1/ the subtleness of having a quick car that doens't scream it out loud
2/ power while keeping respectable economy
3/ people's lack of expectations from "just a clio"

Hates:
bloody Renault dealers...

 

[Rich]

2nd, 3rd and 4th at over 6K

The Colour

 

[Ed_182]

99 mph in fourth and then i get 4.5k and im holding on round a bend on the a1

 

[inferno cup]

The price, for all things mentioned in the above posts!!!

 

[Nick_R182]

Noise when it gos on cam. Especially with an open viper :evil:

 

[Gweebs]

God all of the above, and still more.....

 

[al]

When some t*t in a corsa, saxo etc thinks it's a 1.2

 

[Dubai182]

I actually love the styling of my 182....looks very mean and squat at certain angles. Love the 3rd gear too,perfect for overtaking here.

Hate: The heat really effects performance,although to be fair,that isn't the car's fault

 

[Hugo-]

the look on ppl's faces when they here the dump valve....
