Clio's replacement

[mark_1873]

Looks great, Ive been looking at 5dr DSG R32's

How are you finding it compared to the Clio. I'm only worried I'll get bored of it quickly. Craving that auto box laziness.

Do I miss the Clio.....? No. Not one bit.

I've had it 2 weeks now and loved every moment of it.

You won't be disappointed, it is a comfy car that turns into an animal in 'S' mode.

And I'm getting 35mpg, I was getting 18mpg in my Clio.

Do it.

kinda struggling to get my head round this ... 35mpg on 3.2 V6 that sounds as good as the R32 does ... were you rolling down a hill with the wind behind you? and 18mpg on the clio ... c'mon. Be fair.

Sounds very tempting. I loved our old MKV golf all be it the 2.0 tdi with only 140bhp though it had bags of torque.

No, a 70 mile round trip today. Mixture of 40,50 and 70-80 mph driving. Driving down a hill I can get 134mpg... Haha!!! :thumbup:

The most I ever got from my Clio was 29 on a 400 mile round trip to England, not going over 65mph.

I was honestly expecting, low teens from the R.

My dad has a Audi s3 and is getting returns of 35-45mpg.

Mark- test drive one and see what you think. It's such a step up from the interior of a Cup car I came from. Heated seats are lovely,:thumbup:
