Default You opinion on the Clio V6.......

Right, I have been unsure about this car for some time not. I love the concept, but at 30k you could get:



One of these and 10k spare!

Golf R32

and something like 6k left!

You can have a Chrysler Crossfire:

for the same money!!!

Or perhaps a Nissan 350Z and some change:


You could almost get a BMW 330ci!!


DAMN IT, you can get an EVO VIII for the same price!



Soo, would you spend £30,000 on a clio??

I love the car, but I think it is overpriced

I can buy much "wiser" cars... but only the Clio in the bunch above has exotciness in the supercar rally, the only car that wasn't a Pagani, Ferrari, Lambo or such, was a Clio V6!!

Fantastic car! Love that it is RWD and has the engine behind me! I'd spend the extra money because it's so awesome.

Well .... the Clio is the hottest hot hatchback in the market ... lets say that the r32 is the sport version of the Golf ... the RS is the sport version of the Focus ... the Clio Sport is the sport version of the Clio , and the V6 is the supercar version of the Clio ... the only exotic hatch in the roads !!!

I think it isn´t the best car of the lot and not even the best hatch, but it certainly is the most exotic.

I would go for a Mercedes C classe 320 avantgarde 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)



Eventhough I have to admit the Clio V6 is a special car, and maybe later it will become a collectors item.

definitely i would choose the V6, but the evo would be in my mind always, the same wiht the 350z (track edition with leather)

Definetly the Clio V6, its without a doubt the hottest hatch around. Though at the time of making a final decision between an EvoVIII or this. It will depend completely on that particular moment.

The concept is reat but this car is far from enthusiasming automotive press. Furthermore and because I'm french I can't bear that the engine was developped by porsche when we see what renault is able to do in F1

I once saw a comparison between a Clio and a Z3 3.0 roadster.. and the Clio isn't just up to the job...

For god sake... a car like this.. and it hasn't got a limited slip diferencial!!!

Sorry.. but no... I would buy much better machines for that price! Better in track, and in quality.. this is a Clio.. it has the quality of a matchbox car when compared to the other cars here!
I once saw one, and after inspecting it, I discovered that under the fiber enhancements near the door opener, it was only half painted... like as in "humm.. paint enough.. no one would see if this part isn't painted..."
