[Chris1.4RT]

[Type_Mo]

Hes sl*gging it off !!!

But then it gets good

 

[Lee]

He was always going to do that.

I dont think he could have put it better if hed tried. Good effort.

That comment earlier in the show about biscuit tin wrapper things. Hes obviously driven my 172.

 

[Lunner]

[boyracer666]

i want a little puppy

 

[Dave]

hes a bit preoccupied with reno stereotypes. I can face the boot carpet being pants!

 

[carlos@hideout]

The Stig drove it! Thats gonna make me sleep well tonight!

 

[peterh2]

Talk about 3 wheels didnt think they normally got the back wheel that high!!!

 

[Ian_182]

I want one now,those wheels looked great going round and ill take mine in artic blue please.

I didnt realise you could have the cup pack and spoilers with sat nav?!?

In all a fair result as we all know there not the best built cars,but with the gripes comes that engine and handling enough to see off much bigger stuff

ian

 

[cnic69]

Well you all knew he was gonna take the piss out of the build quality earlier in the show...kinda had a renault theme as they were mentioned more than once!.

Otherwise happy in the knowledge that it put a smile on Clarksons face and what else can you buy for the cash that goes that fast.

Glad i went for artic blue as i prefer that colour..that said the racing blue colour was pretty damned good looking aswell.(except for the gordini lines-they will look dated)

Well done stiggy boy...it stuck to the track like Sh*t on a blanket

 

[Scribbler]

awesome, bastid french bastids!

 

[Lee]

Ian, there is the Cups suspension and spoiler pack.

If you choose the spoiler pack you cant have sat nav. The car on Top Gear didnt have a Cup spoiler, but did have the splitter. You cant order one like that but can get a splitter later.

 

[TwoSugars]

Cut me off at the knees and call me tripod

 

[Jim172CUP]

Its nothing we dont tell all people that come on here wanting to know about the car theyve just ordered.

They rattle and buzz and are generally a bit cheap, but we love them because they go quick and put a smile on ya face. Anyway you cant hear the rattles and buzzes due to the stereo being turned up more

 

[Liam]

his review wasnt that bad, at all. All in all for the money he likes it. But who cares even if he had hated the thing I wouldnt be changing my mind about getting one. I dont buy cars cos of what someone on a TV show says.

it was a quick lap time, I noted too about saying it was not comfy then saying it was? WTF?



anyway I also say it had the front splitter and the normal rear spoiler as it had the sat nav.

I dont think the build quality is as bad as he says either.

overall, could have said worse! and Im sure they dont all rattle like people say. My last clio didnt rattle at all, and ive been in many others that dont.

 

[hardsoulwax]

Did anyone notice the stickers on the side of the car that the Stig drove? I didnt see them on the Clarkson piece.... they look like the ones on the 182 that was at the motorshow.

Not a bad review - he sl*gged various things off that are standard for all Clios. Like he said though for the money, you cant really go much faster! When comparing what he was using for benchmarking it, then Im quite happy really!

 

[bigmouk]

Any video footage knocking around from top gear last night?

He said it was a naff driving position (I bought my clio because of the great driving position ) but said the seats were very comfortable.

 

[FierceBanana]

I noticed that Stig seemed to have all 4 wheels planted on the track most of the time, as compared with Clarksons quality driving 3wheels in the air most of the time.

 

[Lee]

The Stig knows how to drive for a time, Clarkson just showboats for the camera, a bit like Tiff Needle!!

 

[TheCake]

I think Clarkson was very honest. It is a poor driving position, he told us exactly what we already knew. Lap time wasnt too bad, Stig drove it well.

Overall though what were you expecting??

 

[Lee]

The entire review was exactly what I was expecting to hear, except for the comment about TQ. Clarkson sounded like he was reading the spec sheet, which is rare for him. LOL

Ive got used to the high seat position now and wouldnt want to change it.

 

[steveV6]

Clarkson never said hed have it in his garage of his top ten cars though

So how many 182 owners gonna be trading up??

Thats because hes a car snob.

 

[182 sport]

i was watching football yesterday and missed the bloody programme!! does anyone have the track time of the 182 and the rest of the cars that have raced round the track?

 

[Lee]

Here are past times: http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/powerlaps/page_2.shtmlhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/powerlaps/page_2.shtml

But they havent added the 182 to the chart yet. It ran a 1.33 something, just a little slower than the Golf R32. Oooo look at what it beat.
