In terms of mod cons I was talking abit more than air con & such like anyway pal, clio's are far from luxurious lets be honest.

Entirely my point pal, Ive owned CS's - I love em, if I had the dosh to insure two cars, one being solely for a toy then it would be a 182, or prehaps a bodied 106 gti...   :driver:

Another vote for a Clio here, I had a 172 and absolutely loved it only got rid cos I needed more space or I'd probably still have it. I'm seriously considering a 182 or early 197 for my run about car.

Would be mini for me. Wife had a 2005 with lsd and with that super charger wining away and the go kart handling, I think it's the most fun I've ever had in a car

Modern classic that Puma now and getting harder and harder to find. Came from the same Tickford factory as the RS500 and RS200 IIRC.

No question it has to be a DC2 Integra Type-R, the chassis is simply stunning and you can drive everywhere at 9 tenths.

Owned a 205gti and a Clio Williams and the Honda was better in every way :happy2:

These Clios have been around a while and must be getting a little bit soft now. The Hondas keep on performing right into the 100k+ miles
