Why did I do it....... a moment of madness!!....with pics!!

[phantomx0_1]

Now with pics this was my St220!!!

This is the Clio. It is fun but I think the Mondeo is more my style!

 

[conneh]

Traded in a car for long motor way journeys for a hot hatch and your complaining?

Hi.

 

[Tigger]

I'd prefer the Clio

 

[iimushroomzii]

Good decision IMO unless you do a million motorway miles a week,

 

[B5 BDJ]

I'd prefer the Clio

+1

clio is nice.

 

[Dylrobz89]

Both very nice cars! I'd prefer the clio

 

[Mark One]

plus the clio is quicker. Pulled away from an ST220 convincingly, with my homemade crappy MOT CAT too!
Don't like the wheels on the clio.

 

[Amy]

Pff, wheels look good.
There just two completely different cars, perhaps some research may have found you a bit happier.
Clio can take a corner too

 

[fUbAr]

Clio can take a corner too

trust me, so can the mondeo.
They're good cars!

 

[Timmay]

nice clio

 

[clio_greg]

done the right thing imo. wheels on the clio are well nice!

 

[Gareth]

I prefer the Mondeo

 

[Tupps]

Depends what you want from a car i suppose, both lovely motors

 

[cjewkes]

good call imo!!!

 

[Cupster]

I traded my first cup for a v6 4motion golf cos I was doing alot of motorway at the time. Was lovely but not for me! Sold that and bought another cup straight away. Never looked back even though I still do a fair bit of motorway.

 

[Greeny.]

The Mondeo is less likely to break im sure

 

[Leeshez]

Both nice cars .

 

[micp]

Love the wheels on the clio.

 

[Christopher]

trust me, so can the mondeo.

Yep.

Mondeo ST24/220's are not to be underestimated!

 

[JT182]

ST220's are really good in all fairness, for a big car they do handle well. Had a go in my mate's Dad's one a few months back and was really surprised, loved the looks, Recaro's, noise, effortless grunt and the handling. Perfect family car really apart from the fuel consumption but I s'pose theres always the ST TDCi for that.

I think you made the right choice though in swapping it for the 182, I know which one I'd rather be behind the wheel of on a fast country road! On everything else other than a motorway, the Clio owns the Mondeo really!

 

[Reyes]

I prefer the Mondeo

+1
I'm a big sports car guy. Not a little sports car guy

 

[aliengravy]

Your annoying me now with your threads, why dont you just go away? go post these on a mondeo forum where someone might care, you posting this on a clio forum!!

What do you expect to achieve? Are you hoping that we might all feel so guilty for you we will club together and buy yo another mondeo??

GO AWAY, YOUR BORING!!

RANT OVER

 

[yellowbelly]

Why moan when you decide to sell a big family five door sport for a hot hatch, what on earth did you expect? If you like your big cars why even contimplate getting a Clio?

I'd advise test driving the next car you buy if i was you to save disappointment.

This is a Pointless thread if you ask me!!!!!

 

[Slammed172]

Mondeo st24 are shite.

Mondeo st220 however are great, really nice car. Clarkson loves 'em.

The people that are moaning on this thread are boring tbh, not the creater.

Wow the Mondeo looks so... exclusive... never seen one of those on the road before.

Loving the Clio with the gloss black wheels though. What sidelights do you have?

[swirly182]

Thanks mate :approve:

 

[NathJ]

clio s nicer

 

[Fletcher]

I like both cars, for different reasons.

 

[Jamie]

I'm with Fletch, like them both.

I have to say I think the interior on the Ford is also really, really nice.

I would imagine the ST is quicker higher up the speeds though.

 

[kyle_sxi]

the comfort is better in the st220 but power wise the clio would have it the 220 has to booted to get it moving its not like the power kicks in straights awsy nice car though mate sound lovely with a exsaust

Yeh the man speaks sense! It's not like the Clio has to be thrashed to go quick, only have to get it to 5,000 rpm out of its 7,250 rpm standard limit to actually move :S

 

[BREMBO]

I like the ST mondeo

Prefer the 182 though

 

[Coby.]

Both Nice Cars but obviously most on a Clio Forum will prefer the Clio

 

[Brett]

182 looks realy good mate. I wouldn't have any regrets.
