Renault Clio V6 http://www.renault.com/default.html?...ts/clio_V6.htm

I have been a scooby owner for years & seriously thinking of a complete change.
The 2nd hand Price of the Cough, Cough, Clio V6 is now almost affordable (Beans on Toast for the next 6 years)

So what do you think of this Motor .
Thanks

Dean

i like em bit of a handful though

TopBanana

Cool but probably not a great driver's car

The MK2 is a great drive compared to the mk1 if mags are to be believed

Adz Turbo

I wouldnt say no to one!

Gary C

The Mk1 has problems due to stiffness at the rear (My friend was a senior chassis engineer for the project) that they did not have time or resources to fix before release. Made the car a bit wild on the limit.

Fixed for the Mk2

I think the last clio V6 Renaultsport 255 in yellow will be a good investment for the future. You only have to look at those limited edition Renault 5 turbo rear engined beasts, there fetching around £25k now, and to me the Clio V6 is a newer version of the rear engined 5 turbo.

Dont flame me ive just woke up.

but they look sooo ghey

I'm sure someone on here changed from a P1 to the Clio and now hates it with a vengeance

Chris L should be along soon, he has serious fantasies about these cars

Not sure about that. Think the Mk2 scored exceptionally highly in Evo's car of the year 2004. Despite everything that was on offer they all seemed to fall for this car in a big way (ignoring the practicality side of things)

KT Greens have a stunning silver one in.................

I think generally the opiniion is lots of fun - hard to live with day-to-day...

there is a shootout on the evo website :
TVR 350C v Evo VIII FQ-300 v Clio V6 v VX220 Turbo
makes a good read,

MK 1 or 2? Mk 1s are death traps! The Mk2 are a bit beter. They are both hell of a handfull to drive. A modded mini cooper is a much beter bet. Theres a guy in my local club who bought one for 4 k on ebay n is paying 10 k to have it fixed!

never driven one but know a couple of people who have them one runs the cleo sport club..... good cars in a straight line but crap when you need to turn!!!! also very slow for what they are, only run mid 15s at the pod>>>>

As others have said, very slow. I had a play with one recently, he kept coming back for more after I "handed him his *** on a plate" time and again (it's an American thing).

Think carefully, it's a Renault. It's French. It's a Clio. It's slow. Add that to what others have said about the handling and make up your mind. Coming from an STi I have no doubt you'll regret it.
