Considering the vast difference in the spec of the cars, it really isnt.

Joe, not sure weather this is sarcastic... but, you NEED to drive a new s3, ive got one for a couple weeks, and it is leaps and bounds beyond my 8L for handling.
(350hp, similar torqu is nice for giggles too)
PS, the only thing the clio has going for it is the colour.. sorry, but the M3 is in a different league.
of course the m3 is in a different league.
but some people like to grow up and get their own house and not suck on their mummies tits for the rest of their lives. i'm doing just this and it's hard going from an 08 focus st to a 1.7 puma but needs must.
(not you personally, as i don't know you, but most people i know seem to be living at home until 30 odd)

Being honest, if your missus didn't whine on at you to move out, you would still have the ST and would be doing more to it. Getting old too soon is criminal.

that is true, but i do need a house of my own now really.
buying 100 quid worth of food from asda and then storing it on top of drawers in my bedroom/my tiny bedroom fridge is not cool.

If the mrs hadnt winged at me to move out i wouldnt be in a dingy apartment.
I would be at home with a driveway/ garage/ ensuite etc.
And the way things are now i wont be able to afford my own property till im 30.

Good downgrade, look at me yellow I like the Clios but suprised about fuel comments as I thought for a 2.0 16v they were meant to be absolutly terrible?

Great find the Liquid Yellow 182! I'd Say you won't have any trouble selling that on and it should always be able to fetch more money due to the colour.
I really want a private plate for my LCR!

i paid a premium so i hope that it will sell for a premium! I love the colour, originally looking for black or racing blue but none came up that where new enough/low enough miles then i saw this and fell in love the second i saw it.
That other one posted is bloody rare also, cant remember the name of it! Nice too

There was one for sale in Norwich a couple of years ago, but was a repaired CAT D (interior smoke damage). Still fetched good money mind.

I seen the bad turning circle of the V6 first hand a couple of weeks ago, the swing he had to take at a normal junction into a side road was

They are pretty hard to hang it it out at low speed.. They drive very much like an MR2.
