    I got thrown a scirocco r as a swerve by the dealer today, incredible spec inside, dsg box was very fast which was surprising. I always loved the look of the scirocco. Went like stink for a standard car aswel tbh. Told them I'll consider the options over the weekend!

    The car I've had I can most compare it too, in terms of feel, is my Integra type r. Maybe I remember the Integra through rose coloured glasses abit as it was years back. I do remember it feeling special when I drove it though. I don't get that with the clio unfortunately, horses for courses and...

    No I'm not getting a car for what anyone else thinks at all. I was a cop for 9 years so people's opinions of me wash over me regardless of what car I may be in, what I'm wearing, what people think of my tattoos when I have short sleeves on etc etc... As I said in the original post, the clio is...

    Alot of people would consider a Renault Clio to be something other that what the enthusiast knows it to be. Not helped by the price the 197 these days meaning the youth and their fake Burberry caps drive them about lmao

    I think coming from a evo 6 to a Clio is such a big difference I'm struggling with how big the gap is tbh. Like I said nothing wrong with the clio although if I'm honest the interior is terrible lol, but I bought it to drive and that it does very well. That alone unfortunately isn't enough for...

    Ok they wanted silly monthly payments on the scirocco. However, they had a 66 plate polo gti. My daily back is a polo that's only a year old, great for me as I live in a city centre etc. So after a brief chat and some number crunching, if I put £1000 towards and my monthly payments went up by...

    I've had the clio as a 2nd car for 6 months now, and it just isn't tickling my pickle tbh. Lovely clean car and drives great, just no connection to it really, anyone else had this with any vehicle before? As the title suggests, what you you buy for around the 4k mark? Doesn't have to be a car...
