. . .are VERY disappointing tbh.
Saw one at the Pod today.
I always presumed they were pretty quick, and unless the driver was a whoos, they aren't fast. And they have 0 exhaust not as well. For a V6, it made no noise. I think my 12v sounds better tbh.
Granted, they might handle but after seeing them thrashed on Top Gear and performing, I was disappointed at Santa Pod today.
That is all

My mates on his 2nd one.
Mk1 was a handful and you were scared to push it hard!
Mk2 is like a go-kart, and seems to shift pretty well, the V6 note inside the car is amazing

This looked like Fad's Clio, but with silly wide arches etc so was definitely a newer one.
I thought anyone could drive in a straight line?!

Well that is bit of an exaggeration BUT it sounded like it had 20 silencers from the cat back. Seriously, this thing didn't make much noise.
Unless, it was a 1.2 16v with Clio V6 kit

Not all that much faster than the 182 they weigh 1400Kg with 250 Bhp.
1020kg at 180Bhp the 182 is better
the V6 rear wheel drive made it a death wall hitting mech..

which is boring, even i admit my car bores me, i'd love a car that isn't cheap and unreliable as it would be fun and means more things to worry about it's about the driving experience.

From the cat back is probably about a foot 
Probably just a faggot driving it tbh, pride and joy and don;t want to bin it or letting his bird have a go?! just joking girlies.

I agree, and going sideways into a wall isn't the kind of experience I'd enjoy 
Seriously though, much better performing cars out there......

Same bhp/ton but id imagine the torque on the v6 is a bit better..
