After plenty of looking and test driving of cars I have narrowed down the choice of a new car down to two.
These are:


Honda CTR 04/05 one (as the facelift is the better one apparently)


or


Clio 182 (fully loaded one with cup packs)


Really do like both of these but there are slight things im not keen on with both of them
With the clio its the driving position and steering wheel that im not sure on.
With the CTR its the gearbox and the size (its bigger then what im used to)

Although with all of these down points on both im sure they are things I could get used too

Both tick all the boxes really just stumped as to which I should go for. I have my eye currently on a good example of each on autotrader.

I think the only difference is an LSD and a little bit more bhp down to different manifolds.


Do look in white though

Another thing against the CTR maybe is that they apparently have a fettish for drinking oil. I have had enough of that to last me a life time
