S2000 v Clio V6

G2000 · 05-13-2008, 10:50 AM

Been having a large discussion about this. Which is quicker, better to drive, better to own etc. Anyone got any experience?

TheSoundMan21 · 05-13-2008, 11:02 AM

which would you prefer. Top down or top up? Are you looking for a comfy quiet ride or a some what rough noisy but awesomely fun drive. Its all up to how you want to drive and what fits your style.

And isnt the Clio FWD? FWD=borring (in most cases.) exlusions is Mini S and a old crx

I used to date a girl with a LeCar......

Both were small and cute, with a bulbous front end, 'n looked good, especially when they were together.......

In the end, they were both completely unreliable.

V6 Clio is a 2 seater RWD. 255BHP. Body kit-tastic.

My Clio is FWD and is fantastic. 172 bhp, light and handles. Takes a Mini S easily.

Are you serious? A Clio?............................

Dr. Jimbo · 05-14-2008, 06:59 PM

Ain't never seen a Clio in the states. I'll stick with the S.

DJJSR · 05-14-2008, 07:04 PM

I don't think anyone sells Renault here in the U.S. , do they?

jagg · 05-14-2008, 07:38 PM

no.

Agroman1963 · 05-26-2008, 03:06 PM

The R5 was a cool car, and Renault has World Championships to its credit, but it is ultimately...French. Buy the S2000.

philiam · 05-26-2008, 03:51 PM

Many years ago, this car made my top 10 list of the goofiest looking cars ever built. I think the designer bumped his head.
