Summary

5 out of 5

What does this car say about you?
Crazy, just like the car.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
What is it? A Clio? Its just in your face! They love it! I mean how many of these have you ever seen in your life!

Would you buy this car again and why?
I would buy it new if..... it had about 300bhp. 230bhp is too slow. The Mark 2 V6 has 255bhp, but come on. We need at least 300bhp from a V6 Supercar.

What are you likely to buy next?
Porsche 911

Driving it

5 out of 5

What's it like to drive?
Handles good, not the fastest car at 230bhp from a 3 litre. Its because of all the strengthend parts that add weight for it to run a 3 litre. The biggest problem is the turning circle. It is very short, even on full lock.

What's it like to park?
Just the same as a normal Clio. Its a clio with a fibre glass bodykit on. Same dimensions. I also have a 1.2 16v Clio. Its just the same.

Living with it

4 out of 5

Have you had any problems with the car?
The thermostat didnt work. The engine temperature gauge was always low, but the engine was hot. A new thermostat fixed that. About £15. Passengers side electric window is slow, and the horn has now stopped working.

What's most practical about your car?
It wasnt built for practicality. Its a track car, its a supercar!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The V6 engine singing away right behind you.
