Clio v6 would be nice but its alot of money for a clio!

If the image is already hosted on the internet then just put the url between the tags in your previous post!

If its not already hosted it you'll have to attach it to your post!

For the money you could have a 350Z or an RX8, why would you want to drive a Clio????

I wouldn't advise changing either. Fair enough, the V6 will get looks, but it will also drink petrol like there's no tomorrow and will be rattling like mad long before the Honda will be. In terms of speed too, is there really that much of a gap between them?

Gud handling car, but I've found them quite slow for a V6!

Get a 350Z, far nicer car - faster, good bodywork & good resell value!

dont be getting a phase one, they are considered slow, and not a very well balanced chassis

phase 2 has more bhp, 0-60 in 5.7s, and has a far better chassis. Reno built a complete new rear subframe for the phase 2 to iron out the handling/grip problems of the phase 1

i actually like them more than the 350z, Rx8

Oh dear. An overpriced clio. You could buy an E39 M5 for the money. Or an evo 7. They just don't compare - chalk and cheese.

It depends what you're after really.

Not in a million years, the french like their weird cars and to be honest this is one of the weirdest ******* creations ever. Would be a laugh as a second car but wouldn't swap a CTR for it. Buy a 350Z or a lotus elise or someth but under NO circumstances buy a ClioV6

Oh and surprisingly the Clio Cup is one of the best value hot hatches you can buy. I test drove one just before I bought the civic and they are pocket rockets. Not worth spending another 10k on top of for a v6 monster though!

nearly as weird as their F1 engined Espace!!

ya they're a strange little bunch! The Avantime, kangoo, Vel Satis, who buys these cars!! The've come up with some crackers. The Clio 182 seems to be a mental little thing, even Clarkson loved it, but the V6 just ain't worth it when you compare it to what else the money could buy you
