Nice car! How does a 190hp GTI-6 compare to the Clio 182? |

Thanks for the comments  Miles, i didnt know that tbh. I would have gone for the b8s if id known but ive been happy with this set up over the past 2 years. Thewho07, I havnt had chance to have give him a little race in the 182 since having the engine work! Although his car has changed since those pics and is probally running about 195bhp after quite abit of work, so im thinking it would be close! |

^ I have to agree, despite being massively into Clio's, I think the 306 looks way better proportioned. The Clio looks rather tall and a bit too short somehow... |

I stand by my previous conviction that clio is one of the ugliest hatchbacks ever conjured and 306 prettiest |
