What do you love about your clio

[NaplesValver]

What are the top 3 things that you love about your clio???

my 96 Valver:

1. The induction noise - lovely burble as it pulls through the revs

2. The Bonnet - one of the nicest vented bonnets ive ever seen

3. The performance - never fails to impress me.

What are yours???

It gets me from A to B.

It saves getting the bus.

It goes a bit.

 

[Djw Dave]

My 93 Rt,

1. Exhaust noise
2. The way it handles
3. The way it looks

 

[Alex_225]

I love my 172 because -

1 - It suprises people

2 - Its fun

3 - Its not a common car

4 - What other car of the same age and price offers as much performance or as many features????

Great little car and really suits my lifestyle at the moment.

 

[blink172]

1) its been to the ring twice, an airfield day, 50+ laps of oulten park and its not used a drop of oil, not even a hint of mechanical problems and it keeps asking me to treat it rough.....

2)Makes Gareth Cheesemans move over in the low budget BMs and Audis

3)Still returns stupidly high MPG even when being beaten like frank bruno

 

[Martin]

1. The way it handles

2. The bonnet/wings, hardcore look

Cheap on insurance
Engine sound
Handling

1996 valver:

1. The mean looks are soooo yet very subtle

2. Handling, like its on rails!

3. Rareness....... Hardly see any about

 

[Viv172]

After driving a Fiat Punto for 4 hours yesterday......EVERYTHING!!!

 

[6secClio]

all of the above a valver is a fantastic car looks sleek and sexy while still having some presence about it

bonnet looks great as standard, wheels as standard looks great its one of a few where its great as you buy it it you dont have to do much to it to make it fast and look good

oh i must stop now

 

[Little Newms]

Handling

Looks of it

And best of all, every one thinks its a 1.0ltr

 

[matt.t]

i like my 172 because: i

its great engine

its looks

its brakes

and generally fun to drive

 

[ukaskew]

1. The fact that its so smooth and civilised at 30mph, for example when being hounded/tailgated by chavs in built up areas, and then the fact that 30-70 it completely destroys them when the roads open up.

2. The fact that it still sort of looks like a normal Clio, which suprises the hell out of chavs who dont know better, and especially BMW re-mobiles etc.

3. Most importantly, how insanely fun it is. For the above reasons and so many more, such as cornering, the ridiculously good fuel economy it still manages to return, the lack of them on the roads (at least round here), how good it looks etc etc etc.

 

[Scott]

1) The speed of it

2) The looks of it

3) The noise it makes

 

[Swervin_Mervin]

1: It looks the tits for a hot hatch
2: It handles
3: I can feel whats going on
4: It sounds cool

[Nightfire]

LOL d.brown. Great minds think alike

 

[daviebroon]

OI you bloody copycat lol

 

[Scudetto]

mk2 172:

1) Its got the heart and lungs of a bear

2) It punches above its weight

3) Looks very chic, yet purposeful

4) theres nothing sissy about it - everything has been honed for the best in performance, braking and handling, not for looking flashy/trendy/noncy

5) Everyone likes it. "This is a nice car" is a typical comment. And thats before it accelerates

6) Enthusiasm for taking a pasting is endearing

1,2,3.

I chose to ignore the 3 issue though.

 

[daviebroon]

1. The menacing look of a 172 cup in your rear view mirror.

2. The VVT at 4500rpm throwing you into the back of your seat

3. Embarrasing TT drivers, Z3/4 drivers, top merc/bmws, and just about every other sports car on the road... that cost 3-4 times the cost of my clio.
