im looking at buying a clio, either a 1.8 16v or a clio williams but i really can't find much info on them.

im looking for a car that i can get the family in and that reasonable to run but i also want to use it found track use and the occasional drag race at pod

can some one give me the spec on both cars (0-60, hp ect) and opinions on which car is better suited


thanks

1st off all mate for a family u need the r19 16v chamade p1 preferbly spec is :-

-1.8 16v
-137hp standard
-0-60 in around 7.2-8.2 secs
-chamade has 4 doors so no problem getting a family in
-19 16v handles a whole better than a clio 16v or even a williams clio
-approx mpg is around 25-38mpg but chris h's blue chammy returned 48 at one point dunno how but there you go.
-best colours to get it in is blue, black, grey or white
-and they are v good for track days

hope it helps

or you could look at a 21 turbo, that'll put up a better time at the pod and it's a good size family car.

yeah the chamade does not handle any much worse than the hatch so shut it muppet.

best choice tho i would say is a p1 hatch.

as you can tell we like 19s here over clios Very Happy

but unless youre a girl and cant handle a bigger car i see no benefit of a clio over a 19.

of course if you go and ask on cliosport the answer will be the complete opposite.

*evils JB*

its down to personal taste here!

and seeing as the ph1 clios are now 'retro' enough to be here, we should love them as we do every other RR

besides the fact that the clios are a little bit faster, handle like go carts (esp. in comparison to the chamade) and IMO look immense with nothing but a lowering kit on them from standard.

Oh and I own a r19 valver so dont think i'm riding in the clio boat.

On topic 16v chamade sounds ideal
