    Buying the car isn't the issue. It's running and insuring it.

      That's what affordability is about. It would be missleading refering to something as the cheapest v12 to own just by refering to the price tag. =)

      I brought a 172 cup when I was younger. had to wait until I was 21 to insure it because it was a hot hatch. cost me £1200 to insure. that was 11 years ago.

  • @fawncashew
    @fawncashew Před 7 lety +118

    Personally, the Clio is by far the car I want, as well as being the one I can afford. Sure, the fiesta ST is a fantastic car, and I would say that it's probably the best hot hatch available currently. But the Clio is just so light and solid, and I would say it's one of, if not the, best hot hatch ever built. Also, the guy from Evo magazine, who has a Zonda, an Integrale Turbo, and an F-Type project 7, amongst many others, also says that his Clio 182 Trophy is the best hot hatch ever made, so I figure he's a good guy to second the opinion of

    I've had a 172 for over two years and it has been a joy owning it. Sometimes I'll even find an excuse to just drive it. Also, contrary to belief it has been solid and super reliable. Even at 117k the F4R engine pulls so well all the way up to 7.2k rpm which is basically a VTEC but with more torque, they are used several race cars for a reason. I really can't see myself ever selling it, it's just a brilliant little car.

    Any M9's on here find it ironic how he put a fiesta and a Nandos together in a review, should have been a corsa VXR, but I guess he couldn't get hold of one as they're all sat in a McDonald's car park picking up underage girls

  • @MarkCup70
    @MarkCup70 Před 7 lety +6

    I once owned a Clio 172 Cup and did 125k miles from new in it including many many trackdays. In my Fiesta ST I've just hit 58k miles from new.
    If I had both outside right now I'd still take the Fiesta every single day of the week. On road and track it has all the Clio's good points and none of the bad.
    The only thing the ST lacks is the Clio's razor sharp throttle response.
    Nice video...keep up the good work!

      Cant stand Fiesta,s main reason is the unreliable engines, on a track my mates one had the head gasket let go on a top speed run , where as doing that in a clio is near impossible, would still take a Type R over all of them though.

    I had a 172 ph2 in the red. only cat I ever bought new. a cracking little car. it was like a limpet on wet roundabouts - so long as you didn't spin the tyres. no traction control (needed).
    it also had the best headlights of practically any car I have ever driven.
    and 100 to 0 in four seconds was pretty amazing.

We will be 45 by the time we can start our mortgage for a rat hole’s flat in the suburb, with a reasonably safe car (mainly because of the insurance), while trying to pay off our student loans.

    Great review of a hot hatch legend!
    I've owned a 172 cup and 182 cup and there's very little between them, superb little things worthy of all praise.
    French build quality isn't great, but these cars are generally very reliable due to the simplicity.
    I've owned many cars over the cars, many faster than the RS clios, but they're just as fun to drive as just about anything on 4 wheels.

    I've had a Clio 172 cup, Clio RS 200 and the new Fiesta ST. My favorite was definitely my 172 followed by the ST. The clio 200 felt quite gutless for some reason but man it looked awesome. The only problem with the 172/182 is their age. Once mine turned 10 the thing just fell apart, I ended up spending thousands on repairs unfortunately. I'm still tempted to get another as second car though - god I miss it.

    The ST200 is 212bhp on overboost as it comes with the mountune remap and fords version of the mountune lower air box and second cold air feed.
    The standard ST is 197bhp.
    I just had the Mountune 215 kit fitted to my ST and its now 215bhp and feels a lot quicker than standard.
    The MP215 is worth every penny for anyone out there with a standard ST wondering about upgrading, £800 on the Mountune website and can be fitted easily in 1 hour or less.

It was a very dark morning (4:00 a.m.) and I allowed the car to pass me as I didn't know if it was the police or what. As it was passing I saw it was a BMW M235i. I let it get out of sight and then caught back up with it again! His rear wheel drive car looked twitchy in the wet but my totally standard 2 litre Clio caught up with him easily!

    I used to own a Clio 182 Liquid Yellow, for me the best colour choice for a clio sport. Was a great car, great handling, outperform cars with more power on country roads. Their weak spot is the gearbox that is known to fail. The engine for me was bullet proof, with the few mods to wake the car up, with Oreca racing exaust, BMC CDA filter and a tune I made 189.6 whp. Great car that I regret to sale, and they are rare here in Azores.
    Looking forward to 2017 to see which Clio Sport you will buy.

    I was paying £1630 a year (at the age of 27 and i'd just past my test) for a 2005 VW Polo 1.4 Sport in yellow. Which was (3 years old at the time). So unless there parents are wealthy, young drivers (17-21) would have no chance owning the Fiesta ST to begin with, then theres the insurance. With either of them at (17-21) you're easily looking at £2-3 grand, if not more.
    Edit: Just done two separate insurance quotes via GoCompare for both the Fiesta ST and the Clio 182 RS for a 21 year old
    Both were set to £500 excess and 6000 miles a year
    2016 Fiesta ST worth £19,519 was £2690 a year
    2005 Clio 182 RS worth £3,995 was £2470 a year.

If your 18-21 and have a full time job I see no reason why anyone can't get a decent hot hatch, I tried to stay around the 1.6 mark for insurance but other than that I say go wild, Insurance from 2 years ncb was £900 on the 208 gti and just bought a Abarth 500 which is £750.

      Jezza i wouldn't say its gov taxes that make second hand cars so expensive in turkey. initial amount paid for brand new purchases are mostly similar, or at least they were before turkish lira devaluated. (thats when you consider cars with small engines, economy cars basically). the thing is, second hand cars are so expensive because in turkey cars dont go down in value as much as they do in europe, especially in the UK. but here the insurance cost is much lower, so if you owned that clio for five years in the UK, and sold it, it would cost you much higher than doing the same here

      Abi avrupadaki gibi 2.el arabanın değeri tabi düşmez bizde yeni clio 60000 lira onlarda 10000 euro nasıl düşsün

      Sırf o da değil yav, adamlarda mesela araba yedi sekiz senede fiyatının belki beşte birine iniyor. Bizde arabanın değeri daha yüksek insanların gözünde, o yüzden düşmüyor bence. Aynı clioyu on sene sonra 12'ye bırakmaz kimse. Bir de onlarda hele genç sürücülere sigorta arabanın fiyatını geçiyor bazen, o da etkili ucuzlamasında. Hem kendi hem sigortası pahalı olsa millet sikerler der binmez.

    Or you can just buy a used volvo for 2000 dollars.

      Volvo 850 would be my choice. Nice 5 cylinder engine (turbo even better) and a big trunk where you can sleep in if necessary :D

    • @44ro.n
      @44ro.n Před 7 lety +1

      a 940 or 740 would be better for me because of rwd! an 850r would be nice though

      Yeah but Type R is at least 2,5-3 times more expensive then 182 RS (at least here in Poland)

      Clio: 0-100 kph 7.1 sec
      Ep3: 0-100 kph 6.8 sec
      who walks from who?
      Edit*
      Quarter mile 15.2 s @ 97 mph - Ep3
      Quarter mile 15.5 s @ 95 mph - Clio 182

    Talking about the car the sound of the ST200 in the cockpit is fantastic for a little car!
