Why do you love your Clio RenaultSport?

[Richyy182]

For me its the grin factor and the fact the 182 is one of the last true hot hatches!!!

discuss

Re: Why do you love your Cliosport??

Because it's well loaded for kit and, comparitively, peanuts to run (until the belts need changing of course).

It steers well, pulls itself down the road well enough and it's painful to travel distance in

 

[DaveDreads]

It's fast and it handles well, it also looks like every other Clio to the general public, so doesn't get any unwanted attention.

 

[dmallett]

Because its small and was cheap.

This evening i took it for a small blast around some back roads, it still puts that same smile on my face as the day i got it.

 

[Andyk1801]

Because it takes me back to my young days when all I had was little hatchbacks ie my 106GTI but now I have the sense to drive it with care and to look after it instead of abusing it every day of its poor life but the thing that I love most is when you hit 4000rpm in second gear!! Obviously now on a rate occasion.

 

[Revels]

It was cheap.

Fixed the title for you too

 

[Craig.]

It puts a massive smile on my face everytime I drive it, slow or fast & it's a lot quicker than my mates Evo fq320 lol

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Cheap to buy, cheap to maintain and a great car our of the box.

 

[NickM5c]

Because it's never let me down in 8 years.

 

[PP200t]

Fast, great handling, comfortable(ish), quite economical (34-36mpg), doesn't look like it goes.

 

[aucky]

Generally realiable and cheapish to maintain, average on fuel, quick enough, I like how it looks.

And nothing handles quite like a Trophy. (better or worse, but not 'like').

 

[Jonny1*2]

What's not to love!! That is all :approve:

 

[Mr R.]

Because mines a PH1 172..........simples

 

[Chris205]

As my mind is full of red mist I'm struggling to see what I love, if you did a list for hate then I'd be on all day

I'd say probably giant killing potential, handling is great and makes you feel connected with the car, unlike some more modern day equivalents

Last of the 'old school' hatches.

I'm put off by most cars with electric PAS nowadays. I'm yet to drive a good one.

 

[Chris205]

I'd say the newest car I really enjoyed driving/ owning was my 04' mini cooper s, the feedback from that steering wheel is sublime, couple that with trophy handling and you've probably made yourself an awesome driving experience

 

[MichaelGrimes]

i love mine, because out of the 3 cars that iv owned, this has had the best handling, and it actually moves when you gives it some beans! unlike my 1.2 corsa! and my saxo, which admitidly i loved aswell! my clio makes such a nice sound when you blip the throttle aswell! actually makes me do a little bit of a sex-wee! :O well worth the 5.4k insurance bill!

 

[DaveDreads]

F*CKING HOW MUCH!!!!??

 

[DannyR]

That's f**king rediculous

 

[pastieman]

Your on crack to pay £5.4k a year to insure a clio ffs !!!

I like mine as it was cheap to buy, cheap to run and a fun little car with nice looks, interior and a good spec

also if needed at a push you can fit the kids in it and the shopping

 

[MichaelGrimes]

LMAO! i am 19! :L with 3 crash's to my name! and 0 NCB!

 

[Rhys Beal]

I am about a year older than you and pay £979 fully comp. Have you got about 11 points???

 

[Goodj]

You have, certainly, no common sense in your entire ****ing body.

FFS, if you've already totalled 3 motors I guess it's only going to be a few months before another Clio gets barrel-rolled through a field.

Thanks for putting all our premiums up.

EDIT:That's @Grimes.

 

[DannyR]

LMAO! i am 19! :L with 3 crash's to my name! and 0 NCB!

Wow you really should be proud of yourself

 

[iChris]

Because its the one last car my gf had before she passed on and we had many a adventure in it and never let us down, unlike my rx7.
Also im willing to spend money on it to keep it awesome, unlike my rx7, that can and probably is in car hell for its crimes against my wallet.

 

[Ray Gin]

LMAO! i am 19! :L with 3 crash's to my name! and 0 NCB!

I paid (what I thought to be) ridiculous amounts to insure my Integra at 20 with 0 NCB, but £5,400 to insure a Clio is ludicrous.

3 crashes to your name at your age, get a bus pass lol.

On topic, well equipped, economical, quick, handles well.

Tad out of order that...


0 points, no i havnt totalled any vehicles, one crash wasnt even my fault! but the driver didnt admit fault, even though there was tyre marks on my passenger door, the other 2 admitidly were my fault!

 

[DrR]

I think i'm loosing the love, after driving essentially the same car for nearly 7 years.

 

[aucky]

well worth the 5.4k insurance bill!

money : sense ratio?

What the ACTUAL f**k??

*slow clap*

 

[iChris]

lol my insurance gave me money back when i went from my omega to this!

 

[The Fatty]

lol @ Grimes, you would htink 3 crashes in 2 years would indicate that you need to have more lessons or give up driving lol.

 

[MichaelGrimes]

it was 2.5k for a 1.4 saxo! 5 times the prices of the car! and 1.2k for a 1.2 corsa! 2 x the price of the car! i admit that 5.4k is pretty stupid, but iv got a car that i enjoy and love!

 

[Tunst]

I love how it drives, the fact it puts a smile on my face every time I drive it, the noise, the fact its so cheap to run..


But alas I want rid of it as I want an R26

 

[imprezaworks]

That I can't sell it. Goes to remove my for sale ad

 

[aucky]

it was 2.5k for a 1.4 saxo! 5 times the prices of the car! and 1.2k for a 1.2 corsa! 2 x the price of the car! i admit that 5.4k is pretty stupid, but iv got a car that i enjoy and love!

Is your postcode in Baghdad or something?

 

[MichaelGrimes]

No about half hour from gatwick airport

1st crash id only been driving 2 weeks literally! so that was down to inexperience! 2nd wasnt actually my fault! but she wouldnt admit to it, despite theyre being rubber marks on my passenger door! the insurance settled it 50/50 so i lost the NCB i was building, 3rd was completely my fault as i wasnt paying attention!

 

[marinemackay2003]

5 Thousand 400 pounds GTFO

 

[Ash']

There's just something about them. Such go karts, brilliant fun/price. I'll always keep going back to renaultsports in one way or another.

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Your clio is worth £900 so over 5x the value to insure it. FFS!

 

[Harpham]

Its yellow.
