    Why i can't sell up for another manufacturer basically.

    I owned it for over 2 years, got bored of it and moved onto something else. Is it really that hard for you to understand such a concept? Always makes me laugh on these one make forums how everyone thinks their car is the all-time best and nothing else comes close. :s Righto, I'll be...

    Why i can't sell up for another manufacturer basically.

    Why i can't sell up for another manufacturer basically.

    I changed from an R27 to an R32 and don't regret it in the slightest. The Clio was just too one-dimensional, whereas the Golf does a bit of everything. The Clio only did B road blasting well and was hopeless everywhere else. my R27 sat at around 4000rpm at 80mph on motorways, that's about 120mph...

    Definitely strip off as much as possible. 197s are next to worthless now as trade-ins, even R27s.
