Or maybe it's just because the car is ****.

Just look at the interior? 1980's anyone?

Plus, you get more power from a 2.0 N/A Clio than you do out of that 2.5 V6.

The seats are fine, The dash looks OK, although the center console looks a bit ****, iirc the climate controls are the same ones used in a Zonda, proper 80`s style?

How much torque does the 2.0 clio engine have?
And is it value for money? clios fall apart when the wind changes direction LOL!

That is a 2005 car for next to nothing, because badge snobs think they are ****
Most people who can actually drive, have rated the chassis very highly

* "The best handling front wheel drive car I've ever driven" - Tiff Needell (UK racing driver & journalist).
* "You should try one. It's bloody good" - Jeremy Clarkson (UK Motoring Journalist).
Personally i think you could not do better for £1700 in this day and age, especially when it will cost the average chap on this forum about £300 to insure it fully comp

Drove a mk1 version now for over a year and it has been the most reliable car i have ever owned, and the build quality appears to be higher then the subaru i got rid off, infact IIRC Honda even admitted that the MGR versions of its cars were put together better......

They really dominate around a track with an increase in power though.
