rob wild Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Right just a quick one, the misses has got an AUDI A4 turbo at the moment and it’s been really Crap! So I suggested the Type R and we went test driving, but at the garage there is this Clio 182 sitting there and now she really likes that! Posted a week ago or so about the Type R and the response was good about them but just wondering if anyone has own the Clio 182? What are they like? Reliability? MPG? ETC and if you had the choice which would it be? Cheers guys Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 No, they arnt widely regarded as anything like as reliable as the civic, bits fall off them and they do go wrong, no personal experience with them of course but its just what ive read on other car forums. Having said that they are fairly good value for money for a hot hatch providing you get a goodun. Id personally go for the civic type r! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermonkey Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 did you know that a V-Tech engine has never failed or died due to its manafacture ? ( thats anywhere in the world ) 100% reliable engines dude Honda have never had a v-tech system that has failed not the v-tech engine itself, that said its a cracking engine and all round brilliant car my missus loves hers (and i do round the lanes) its also got a great gear change.

Clarkey Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Put them both on a cool-wall .. I'm thinking the Clio is uncool and the Civic is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 My mate works at Renault and has had the 182 and V6 as company cars, he never had probs with either but they were brand new and he only kept them for 12 months. The V6 was an animal and had so much grip, great fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob wild Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 Cheers guys you have all confirmed what i was thinking Civic is more reilable, cooler, amost the same price and as fast, now just need to tell the wife that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underworld Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 IMO the civic is the blokes car the 182 is the girls car. Dont forget the leon Cupra type r. Thats also in the league. I personally think theyre all pretty boring lol. My friends 172 is nice and compact and fast tho. If its for your girl get her the 182. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
