So how quick are these, to 60 is it much quicker than the 172?

 

I think theres a couple of tenths in it, but not enough to warrant 10k more !!

Still, they look the part !!

...they sound as well

 

Not to mention past 60 the V6 would come into it's element, and the torque figures would be way different, tunning potential for big BHP figures is better with a 3.0 l V6 as opposed a 2.0l four.

But the consensus is that the Clio 172 is the better value for money buy !! as someody put it not really 10k better !

I took a few pics of one at the RSOC Epsom day (in the car park)last Sunday and must admit it looked the mutts nuts Though I cant imagine who would want to spend approx £10k more over the 172 Sport to get not much more in front from the stats I've seen at the Pod and brochures....

Wasn't there one advetised recently very cheap?

Ok, my mate has one of these and it is not as quick as you would expect and basically it is very similar to a 172 performance wise.

Here are some pics of it...








Basically it looks good, it sounds superb and it attracts a *lot* of attention, but the performance is like a 172 due to the weight of the thing.

Also, handling is "interesting" especially in the wet!

 

They do look good must admit.

Just found out 172 0-60 is 7.1 and V6 0-60 is 6.4 I think

Thought the V6 would be faster though....

 

Tested a V6 for a week, not overfast but loads a fun, You could go Lands end to John o Groats sideways if you wanted,
Fun factor- 10 out of 10
Practicallity- get a 172

Evo tested the V6 at 5.7 to 60!

 

i tried to get a test drive about 14 months ago, dealer in swansea would get in touch when they had a demo, still waiting
mark

 

redline magazine had one at crail dragstrip.i got 14.6secs for the quarter mile.the clio v6 got 15.5secs.my impretza was a standard uk 99wagon.

 

So V6's aren't that quick in standard spec but tuning potental
is massive, bring on the nitrous!!!
