Why did you get shut out of interest? A lot of people seem to rave about these cars?

Dont get me wrong good car. Handle well, good on fuel, but boring. And despite what people may say, they are not in the same league performance wise as the impreza. And i really missed the sound.

wow!

3 weeks!! thats a quick turnaround!

what didnt you like about it? did it have the cup suspension?

Its amazing the number of owners on cliosport that have done the opposite, had a clio, got an impreza, then sold it due to running costs/not being all that great/etc and returned to clio ownership!

Tell me about it. The clio had all the extras, both cup packs etc. And it was mint. I sold my00 uk turbo because i fancied a change ater owning 3 subarus before. I knew the clio was going to cost me slightly less to run. i.e i was spending 40 pound on fuel a week where as it was costing 20 pound a week in the clio. And obviously the clio was going to be newer for the money spent. It just didnt do it for me. In the dry yeah it was quick, well when you could get the power down. In the wet it was a pain. I found it torque steered alot aswell. And lets be honest, they are kind of girly.
