Wasnt even gonna bother writing.. lol. But what the hell.. I got some spare time! lol. Unless u have owned a V6 (mk1 or mk2....not even driven... but owned.. as u grow more smiles with the more miles u do!) u just have no idea.. plain and simple, of the experience of owning one of these will brings u.. its more than just a mad looking machine.. it has character.. I have never met a single mk1 V6 owner that hasnt been blown away by the thrill it brings every single time u get behind the wheel! U cannot explain this...unless ur an owner. Forget just the 0-60s... MAX Power boys. lol.
THERE ARE 2 THINGS THAT THE LESS KNOWLEDGEABLE enthusiasts LOOK AT....
1. The handling is not set up for the track! (but great for the road)
2. The 0-60 isnt sub 5 seconds!! (but sub 6 secs if u use decent fuel!)
THESE ARE THE ONLY 2 THINGS THAT THE (cough) enthusiasts CARE ABOUT! LOL..
Try and ask them another reason to dislike the V6?? lol..it aint gonna happen!
The standard suspension is not for the TRACK! I think we all admit! BUT.... unless your name is BenR.. I sure didnt buy this to kill on the track! Just fast road use.. when safe enuff 2 do so! and Funny enuff.... I have not even been anywhere near losing the rear end in the DRY! (If u race in the pissing down rain... fair enough.. u win : ) It grips really well.. around the bends under 60mph ..If u are a capable driver u would have to be trying to lose it..if thats ur intention?? otherwise...ull find it grips well enough to have plenty of fun in! Maybe not win the next track day against BenR (lol)...but loads of fun!
Owned mine approx 8 months, and covered 10k Miles.. everything is working perfectly! Luv every minute of it... more than the Escort Cossy! The sound ... Looks ... performance .. and rareness... have been well worth every penny! What an experience!! WELL DONE U GUYS AT RENAULT!! ; )
(All the genuine qualified to judge owners of the mk1 will know what its about anyways! : ) Hats off to the mk2 V6!! Its EVEN BETTER!!
Take it easy ... and have FUN everyone, in what ever u chose 2 drive!
