Mmmmm looks (and sounds) tasty

 

Better than the mk1 IMO

 

Yeah, but for £28K you could buy yourself a nice Porsche 993 - proper sports car

Chris

 

yep

too heavy
too expensive
too slow

...........still.

 

too french

 

Yeah and then you have the dealers (in particular the service desk). Dont start me on that one

 

Still looks sexy though even with all its bad points

 

Be honest though - what would you rather have - a Renault Clio or a Porsche 911??

Chris

 

I'd rather have 2 Clio Cup's than one Clio V6

 

My mate actually flogged his mk1 V6 to get a Cup as it was just as fast, but 1/2 the price...

 

Its gona be an old Porsche 911 for 28k so I would go for the Clio, and even though the Porsche would be loads faster I think the Clio would still turn more heads. You just can’t get away from the fact that it’s a great looking car.

 

993 - roughly 6 years old - last of the air cooled 911s - total classic and fabulous looks, stunning performance. Clio looks OK, but it is STILL a Renault Clio and £28K is a awful lot to pay for a euro super mini. I would also bet that the 993 would hold its value better

Chris

 

Each to his own, if I were spending 28k on a car I wouldn’t spend it on a Clio. But if I had to have one of the two my money would be on a new V6 rather than a 6 year old 993.

 

A guy who i work with has just bought a mk 1 £20,000 brand new Apparently still a couple left!!!!

 

28K would nearly buys an early LHD 996! Check out www.911virgin.com

How anyone would choose a bloody Clio over a 993 is beyond me

 

for 28 k i would get:

1) TT Soarer 5k
2) MkIII RX-7 7k
3) Nissan 300ZX TT 6k
4) Toyota MR2 Mk1 2k
5) Toyota Celica GT4 ST205 8k

 

...but nothing left for fuel or a big garage ?

 

i think they look drop dead gorgeous...but i agree i'd buy something else for 28k, but if u were buying BRAND NEW, which the V6 is, what's available?

 

lol is it sorted yet dave?

Si

 

New STI
New EVO
330Ci
S2000
Elise S2
SLK230K
vx220 turbo
megabusa
225 TT
alfa 166 3.0 v6
jag s-type 3.0 v6
9-5 aero

 

good list there chrisp and I'd probably have a couple of them over the v6 Clio......I wasnt implying there isnt anything better for the money, but I do think if you should compare like for like i.e. NEW vs NEW, which you have .

 

Yep I agree you can get a lot of second hand motor for 27-30K and you should really compare new for new.

 

If mid engined RWD is what your after then the options are limited.£28k is a lot for a Clio but still cheaper than most of it's peers.

 

just watched it. i'll have the Zonda

 

Only if VBH delivers it.

 

add to the list of new cars you could get with the money you would spend on a v6: mazda's new rx8

 

Yeah, She's got a preety mouth..
