Mini Reviews - Clio 197 Cup/Corsa VXR

Sounds like it has inherited 'Blue & Me' from Alfa... so it'll break ;-)

I like the current shape Clio, but surely there are much better cars to have as a V6 replacement?

It'd be my pick of the current hot hatches. That and for £12.2k + options on the road brand shiny new...

corsa VXR don't do it to me, the styling is a bit chav IMO 1.6 motor though is not a bad little lump. not driven a new shape clio yet but seen them around at work love the rear diffuser.

personally hot hatch wise for 12k i'd pick a works cooper s should be able to get one with that kinda cash or a focus ST at a stretch (and it would be probably)

Even by Clio and Corsa standards, the Mini is gay as f*ck. And ugly. And over priced. And the supercharged engine is a bit crap IMHO. Not that powerful and mental thristy. And a Focus ST? What? I can't think of

Wait 'till later in the year and get a Fiat 500 Abarth.

And they're quite possibly the coolest car on the roads at the moment.

That's not enough power, and let's face it, it'll break heh.

Fair ;-)

mini's rule and i like the ST focus, ok bit big to be sporty i guess! trouble with the corsa VXR is the astra VXR aint far behind on price and has more punch! i wouldn't have a clio cos i'v never rated the renault build quality so between that and the corsa VXR i guessed out the 2 i'd pick corsa unless i had the choice of the mini then i'd pick that! come on you can't say the mini is any more gay than your 2 big powered shopping trolleys! :)

Not to mention that it's also "as gay as f*ck".

I told you not to mention that :)

Heh, just saw this -
