I suppose it's down to personal taste mate.You can't argue that the clio is a better drivers car though.
Your probably right but for what I want in my next car the CTR is still ticking more boxes as its a bit more comfy and hopefully has jap reliability. Also the extra space inside over the clio will be nice

I will say that for them the seating position was pretty spot on and there's always the niggling reliabilty issue compared with the 182.

although with the 182 I was very impressed with how well put together it felt. Although my only other experiance of a french car is saxos
Havent really heard any horror stories relating to 182's saying that though.
I think the main thing with the clio is that as I am a tall person I found it a little small inside and the wheel was a bit big and at a funny angle for my liking

Fuck off
Every car youve drove you've came back to say its shit. Then some you change your mind on months later & say its amazing!
1st Impreza's acceleration disappointed you. Now there the best thing sinse sliced mighty white.
106 was rubbish.....................but now its ok
VRS was lame...............but not as bad as a CTR.
etc
etc
etc
Your far too critical & generally talk shite.
There you go........yes its a car forum, dont take it to heart.

Colin I like the CTR's. My mate had one and I thought it was a good all rounder.

i personally love them, ok so vtec isnt as easily avalible or noticable as a turbo but the all round package is very good and it ticks all the right boxes to be a good hot hatch.
could say the 172 cup/182 is better and you could be right but people wouldnt be crazy to choose the type r either due to more room, extra gear and the awsome gearbox.
fact is you own a fettled scooby, so nearly allstandard modern day hatches will probably feel like a compromise
lastly if you wonder where all the type r hype comes from then try and grab your hands on an accord type r or dc2 itr, point to point probably no faster than an ep3 type r but certainly more fun and involving

Never said that about my first scooby.It was fully decatted and rapid as fuk.
106 had a problem that was never sorted and that annoyed the hell out of me.
VRS was a nice car but not exciting enough.And yes i'd have one over a CTR.
Anything else?? A lot of shite gets spoken on here but at least i've actually HAD/DRIVEN the cars i slate or approve of.And less of the language.

Fair point mate...i hope to drive all of those at some point.Mind you Colin might not let have my opinion of them.

As I've said before I wouldn't swap mine for anything else in the price bracket, if you didn't enjoy your test drive fair enough they aren't for everyone.
