Who still drives a clio or moved on

[Sparkyp23]

I'm basically new to Renault sport clios I owned a 172 cup a little while ago and now bought a 182 cup for scooting about in
Made me wonder who still actually owns a clio or uses one as there daily driver
From the site Or have you moved on,
I don't want to be asking questions about engines tuning suspension etc and they have been discussed 10yrs ago, but then most on here will know these cars inside out I imagine
Cheers

I bought my first Clio (Ph1 172) in about 2004.
And ever since then ive always had one in some shape or form.

 

[BlackGoldMatt]

I'm on my 4th now, which is being used as a winter hack whilst being converted into a fast road / track toy. Means I can keep my other in the garage (and under the blanket) through the crap winter months.

 

[Knuckles]

90% of people on here own fiesta STs, M135s or golf Rs now

 

[None of the above]

On my 8th RS Clio at the moment had 11RS in total

 

[Coops Mk1]

had clios all my driving life, still do. 33 and run a 182 daily, 172 phase 1 on stock and 2x mk1 clio 16v as well

owned around 15 clio I reckon, mostly 16v or Williams and sports for the mk2's

think I have issues

 

[imprezaworks]

On my 7th i think.

Although the urge to move away has been strong.

 

[Christopher]

Loads of members still have them. There's a great deal of knowledge on here, bubbling under a surface of spite and trolling.
Worth a dig.

 

[masekwm]

I've owned mine 3 years, it's a second car and spends months locked in the garage.

 

[Advikaz]

I owned one back in 2012 for about two years

Barely got used and I've got no idea where it is now.

 

[Crybert]

I've had 3 in amongst other cars. As they say they all come back and I'll probably have another.

Trophy
Monaco 172
172 cup

 

[McGherkin]

Had one for a year or two.

Was far too track prepped to be usable on the road, kinda ruined it for me. One day I might get one as a runabout if I have something too mental as my main car, but not such a modified one next time.

Still like 'em. Would love to own a LY182 but I haven't got the balls to own such an expensive paint colour.

 

[JamesBryan]

Had a 1.2 Clio for 5 years and i've had my 182 for 4 years.

 

[karol_SVK]

dci65 for 4 years
dci100 for 6 years
172ph2 for 4 years
All in the last 11 years, so overlapping....still have the dci100 and 172. Would not buy other car if I didnt have kids.
:-D

 

[Chapperz]

Had my one and only Clio (182) for 10 years now. :smile: Still not bored of it

 

[Pauleds]

172 cup, first used on road rallies, then sprints and hillclimbs - Sold

172 in Black. Bought with a knackered engine. Stripped it to build as a rally car until I got the offer of the Cup shell. Sits on my drive under cover acting as a storage system for the spare Clio bits ive got.

172 Cup Rally Car, built and used last year now sat in the garage waiting for me to change the cage, Hopefully to be used again this year if I can get some more funds together.

[S-JM]

Been driving around 9 years and had 4 cars, 3 of which have been Clios. First car was a 1.2 16v, second a 172 Cup and currently a 197. Had an '09 Ibiza for 4 years in between, reliable as hell but boring, hence jumping back in to an RS.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Moved on but would happily own another one. Anything in Mk2 guise is fine with me

 

[Maccy]

Had mine since July 2011 and it will be going by the end of the month, either a trade in against a new car that's arriving soon or private sale. Been a good few years and loved it

 

[Rowan - Mortgage Expert]

On my fourth Clio, had 3 x 182's previously, and now in a 197. All 4 Clio's were interspersed between various other cars that didn't live up to the Clios for one reason or another!

 

[Mike@Rentech]

Lost count of how many clio''s I've owned over the years now drive a Laguna 205GT and have a bike for fun.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

I'm back in a 200 roughly 18 months after selling my 182.

 

[Impuzzable]

it lost my reply..,

A big long reply.,, might be arsed to type it again sometime...

 

[Stay Puft]

Just over 4 years in my 172.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

I've had two 172s. Not owned one since last July though. Don't think I'll own another Clio until the 200T drops to about 5k

 

[Djw John]

I've left lots of times. Owned about 13 clios and about 7 other renaults along with other non French things.
Bought the same Clio 3 f**king times too!

 

[plees]

Bought my first phase 1 in 2014, had it for 18 months then sold it.
Replaced with a golf diesel.
Regretted it and bought my 172 Cup which I've had for 18 months and now selling.

Just one big cycle!

 

[Adam G]

Recently sold both of mine. Put a deposit on a bugeye Scoob that perfectly fits the bill for what I want for now. I'd have preferred a blobeye but I don't see the front, when I'm driving and this is a nice low miler. I have a suspicion that I'll have another Clio in the future though.

 

[cs_dave]

Ive ad loads the 20v clio ive ad just over 2 years will be sold soon but will be going to a 182

 

[DrR]

My last Clio was 7 cars ago!

 

[Adamm.]

I've had 3 and recently sold the last on in October last year. Do miss it though and I'd love another but not sure I will own one again.

 

[Iain C]

had mine from 2003. Sold it in 09 and got her back in 2012 after missing it for 3 years.
Not A daily tho.

 

[Gus]

Renaultsport clio every day since May 2001. Over 300000miles in fast clios.

 

[realnumber 1]

Coming up to 10 years ownership for me and on my 2nd 1*2.
I still enjoy driving it and still don't think they can be beaten on bang for buck..:smile:

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Bought my 172 Cup in 2014 has a temporary run about/track hack for a few months. Did 25k in it, then became one of the Golf R tossers. That's going now and will be replaced by a Megane 250/265. The Clio has long been retired from daily duties but isn't going anywhere. It's not worth a lot so may as well keep it and enjoy it. Will probably get a cage at some point.

 

[iimushroomzii]

I've had a few clios. Currently drive an mx5 though.

 

[JoeBananas]

Only just got my first clio as run around a couple of months ago. FF 182 with 42k on it, always puts a smile on my face. I'm obsessed with the thing!

 

[aucky]

Still have one, don't really drive it.

 

[VR46-G@Z]

Had my 182 RB 5 years now, longest I've kept a car... Thought many times about changing it but these cars get under your skin somehow, I've spent more on the car in the last 18 months than it's actually worth sorting out every fault, so I guess it's a keeper... At 34 am I too old for this car now I ask myself...?! 😌
