I love my clio! My first car and it is a puppy! I love the raw engine sound. But since it's only a 1.2 it's more of a pur. Handles like a beaut. The speed doesn't matter because you sit so low it always feels like you're going fast. So many memories from my first car. I love it!
I'm almost 18 and i really want a Clio 182.
True, same same whis my 205 Peugeot Diesel from 1989. Clarkson is a clown whithout a red nos .
@@hidde1626have you had one yet?
@@jr.sw23 nope, I still want one but they've become expensive..
which pixel is the car please
Pingman The blue one
Wait...
I'm sorry teacher, my Clio ate my homework
Picking up a Clio 182 Cup in inferno orange tomorrow, can't wait. Everything seemed pretty much spot on during the test drive, apart from the very stiff clutch (which I've heard are common) and the 94k miles on it (been serviced about every 7k miles since new); it was in really good condition. Just hope it is reliable since this is my first ''fast'' car after my bimmer which I intend to keep for at least a couple of years.
Wish you lots of fun with your car, how is it?
+TheCarFanForever Thanks, everything is still working perfectly and not a single problem, apart from the over sensitive interior sensors which is now fine. It had a major service a few weeks ago for peace of mind and I have some KTR discs and pads arriving next week some time so I can start going on track days. But has not let me down yet (touch wood).
CarFanatic 182 Should I get one? It will be my 2nd car
TheCarFanForever It's entirely up to you, I was actually going to go for an EP3 Civic instead of this but the insurance prices are triple what I pay for the Clio. But if you have the money there are loads more options for you to look at, I like any car and what ever car you drive (as long as you are a petrol head) I will respect it. But another warning is that the clutches are very heavy in these Clio's which is common, it took me a few weeks for my left leg to get used to it lol.
CarFanatic 182 I'll take note
One of the most fun and cheapest cars around. Ignore at your loss.
ive had two, just sold it after 8 years owning it. Got a 197 now, which is great but the 182s were so much fun.
Rob Langer 197 or 182? Decisions
I've been in one of these cars and it isn't anywhere near as bad as Clarkson makes out!
The seat is fine! When he says "You either sit bolt upright or lying down", its out the seat works!
Instead of a twist action, its more a release and ratchet system... like how most seats move back and forth.
You release it, set it to how you want it and then let go.
It works better than the twist action! Its faster to adjust!
I had one of these a few years ago it was a great little car, honestly lots of fun for the money.
It's a bit ungainly, it's uncomfortable... - ...it's amazingly comfortable, it just glides over bumps. !? Sometimes Jeremy...
sometimes? Everytimes!
As I understood, it's uncomfortable because of seats, noise and interior. However the ride quality is good, I mean suspension absorbs surface uneveness nicely
Let's stop hypocrisy: Clarkson is just the typical arrogant and deceptive (deceptive because why a such incredible arrogance when we see really them and know the truth?) English-roastbeef Francophobe, and it is all here. It is in their education and the life for their childhood vs their old "French Masters" for some years 1066 and 1453. ^^
Could be
Pandemonium Lig I think you'd better edit that comment once more
182 forever love
To clear this up the 182 was available with a cup handling pack and a cup spoiler pack. The 182 cup was a different car again. It wasn't stripped right out like the 172 cup it just had less extras and weighed 20kgs less which made it a tiny bit quicker and more nimble. The video is confusing but many have been right by saying that the driving position is uncomfortable but the ride is comfortable. Renault have always been good at making their hot hatches ride the bumps and not crash over them.
my dad owns a 96 clio and let me tell you he drove that thing everywhere and it never let him down its a great cheap car
God damn, I wish I could have this in America.
You can buy it in Mexico!
In the UK today you normally see them driving by 20 year olds overtaking anything they can. normally have a big exhaust popping through a quiet town at midnight full of underaged girls
It's not that bad! Mine is a ph1 172 and looks brand new. It's very reliable too!
@rotarylover When he says it's uncomfortable at 3:20 he's referring to the driving position but when he says it's comfortable at 4:15 he's referring to the ride quality. There's a big difference between the two so what he says is perfectly valid.
i used to own its grandfather- the great Renault 5 Turbo. Absolute missile back in the day
i love the 182 clio,i own a 1.5 dci with chipped ecu etc and still got a great character and give me a smile on my face,its one of the best hot hatch around that you can buy,and good quality made as its was lunched in 2001.
yeah I agree this one and the Peugeot 206 gti 2.0 ;)
Even though that year was a bit bad for them :S
great fun to drive quick but the hydraulic steering is too heavy for city drving
Did anyone else hear him complain about it uncomfortable it is @ 3:19 and then say how it's amazing comfortable and glides over the road @ 4:15
Yeah, well done Clarkson
Just bought an 07 with only 80,000 on the clock for €2750 it’s in immaculate condition only one female owner previous can’t wait to behind the wheel
Clios are great little cars for youngsters because of the low insurance. If you can find one without constant airbag faults coming up, it'll be a gem.
This car has coil springs on the rear. Usually a stiff anti roll bar is the reason an inside will lift.
at 3:20, he's talking about the interior. at 4:15 he's talking about the suspension. were you paying attention?
El mejor clio sport hecho hasta ahora.
Seeing one wheel in the air left me gobsmacked and speechless.
I have a 182 no reliability problems but constantly changing brake pads every 6 months or so. Thinking of getting a 197 - any thoughts on this?
I love this car....used to have one when you drive it its just like a go cart!
my father had 4 citroen Xms. Each of them was brilliant. Each of them did 300000 Km.
He now drives a C5 estate that has never had any sort of problem and han already done 150000 km
Just Got quoted 1550 fully comp on one of these. I'm 19. 2 years driving, 1 NCB.
I know someone who picked up a EF honda civic with a b16 in it...exact same performance...for 400$. Than put that motor in a CRX that's gutted out with suspension with a total of maybe 2k spent...good looking, handles on a dime and does a decent 1/4 mile time that's as reliable as your lawn tractor.
i jsut bought one Clio the model before storia 2006 year with 100 HP... cant wait to get it running :)
hello everybody...ok...im going 2 buy a renault but i dont know if i should buy a 182 or a 172...basiccally the differences between both r just 10 bhp,xenon lights,audio controls on the steering wheel,10 mm smalle (182),etc,etc.I just wanted 2 know.wich would u recommend me 2 buy? and wich other differences r between 182 n 172.and why should i buy it.hope u can help me...thnx...
Its normal for fwd cars to be a tripod, but it doesn't mean they aren't fast.
Two things I agree at least: I drove a clio II, and it was very fun to drive and made me want to do something mad.
Drove a Clio I before it, but wasn't the same thing. :P
it's "amazingly comfortable" after all the additional stuff (better suspension, tires, etc.) is all added.
im 21 and i can get insurered for 700 with 0 ncb. alot of it depends on how many miles you do, where you live, what times you drive it ect
Pretty agree... lots of faults but honestly, I think I will never quit mine's! Just a beast on curvy roads.
I agree Bafeba, definatley for someone who will tear stuff out and replace it. Their really great fun to drive though, i found it very responsive.
Just bought a sport tourer looking foward to giving it a spin
I have a question?? what year is done it this chapter? i would like to watch in spanish as soon as posible. I have one and this car is unbeliable.
Thanks

@Klosari032 Seems paradoxical, as the cup package actually comes with lower suspension, sportier tyres and less sound insulation to save weight.
When he said it was uncomfortable, I think he mean the poor range of seat adjustment and high noise levels, rather than the ride comfort, which somehow is better on the lowered stiffend "cup" set up.
that's the drawback of a torsion beam suspension - one wheel hangs in the air uselessly.
I mean, if you break ot straighten a corner it just falls into place doing its job perfectly, but in the corner itself it is drawn up.
Most cars are like that w/o wheel detaching from the ground but bearing very little presure on the road, therefore the grip is less.
just bought one...awesome
I've always been tempted to get one of these. Thankfully I've managed to resist the urge.
prostreet1235 you drive one and you'll grin for ear to ear until you turn the engine off. They're awesome machines these
got rid of my 182 cup a month ago!!
something always going wrong with it!!
got a TYPE R now - wow wow wee wa!!
This is an awesome car! Just brought one myself and I love it.
Took my Tornado to the Nurburgring last year, mates were on R6's through to Mille RSV, track was slightly damp, there were 3 Clio's in convoy, left us for dead, one of us came off when we tried to up the pace, what has 0-60 got to do with it and why do Cios need more than 3 wheels on the ground?
@rotarylover he's talking about two different things, though. at 3:20 he's talking about the seating postition and at 4:15 he's talking about the ride quality. :)
Yay! Mk 1 golf gti would lift one rear wheel off the road before it lost grip. I've owned 3 of them (and not crashed any) so i know a bit about this sort of thing
fantastic car
i've clocked my standard 182 but with a K&N filter on at santa pod at 6.5 secs, the manufacturers claims are always safe to save their skin from false advertising
It is. And the best looking.
Raflo2105 - I have a Clio 182. The 172 is a bit faster to get to 100km/h, however it looks like ordinary Clio. If you get the 182 Cup it looks nice. It is insurance group 17 so a bit expensive. I am 21 have 3 years no claim (touch wood) and my insurance with Churchill is just below a 1k.
I think the rear wheel is most amazing...LOL
I miss the affordable car reviews like this that top gear used to make
Woot my mum has one of these hahaha. Living over in Yorkshire is cool because it is just open limit roads over the tops lol.
i think you will find most hothatch fwd cars do the tripod lift when pushed,quite normal
@rotarylover He says the noise made the car uncomfortable. the suspention is the one which is comefortable.
Someone can tellme the number of chapter and the number of season? Its very important this one. Thanks for date.
this is an amazing review. In fact it's probaby one of the best Top Gear has ever done!
One of the most fun for the money cars out there.
I had the 172. I took it on Track Days and had a lot of fun with it... until the engine seized due to floodwater!
@rotarylover I think he means it's uncomfortable as far as driving position and noise, but that the suspension is comfortable
Almost 15 grand now you can buy one for less than 800 quid.
in spain they start at 8k
Yeah a shit one maybe...
These are great cars for the money, simple great. Oh and its meant to lift the inside rear wheel if it didnt it would understeer!
its adorable
the standard 182 is more comfortable. clarksons got it wrong again. the half leather seats are in the standard and the fabric in the cup. you dont get the sport seats with the cup
Definitely. Despite the awkward design, goofy looks and gratuitous quirks, I think they're great drivers cars.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say to me here, I said power makes it go fast, so I think we're agreed here, I don't know what you mean by 'strength'.
Power also defines your acceleration; through gearing, power provides greater acceleration than torque but I'll not delve into that.
I found your Alfa on Wiki, 3750cc (3.8L but they named it 3.7L) V6, 328 PS approx. 320 HP and 175 mph top speed.
I take it that's the block in your piccy then? ;] The manifold makes it look like a straight 6...
Alfa Romeo's are notorious for breaking down. Italian cars in general have all types of reliability and build quality issues - although in their favour, most look gorgeous.
French cars are generally ridden with electrical gremlins. If you want something reliable then either go German or Japanese. If you want something with soul then go French or Italian (or dare I say American).
I personally drive a Toyota Celica GT-Four... so there's clearly no accounting for taste on my part :P
@huwsbach25 the trophy is no quicker, it just has different wheels, v6 spoiler and leather interior. mechanically it is identical to 182
french cars are 1 of the most comfortable cars i have ever sat in!
So how do you explain the 250bhp golf is only 0.3secs infront of the 182bhp clio around their track! Plus i seen it again since and it's def aan R32!
Is this a good choice for a first car?
It's brilliant. I had the Cup version for 7 years. Make sure it's in good condition.
i owned a 182, but i sold it to get a 172 cup i must say the 172 is slightly comfier.
i love my clio!... ok it got 58hp... and it goes with propane... it makes 0-100 in 14s... but who cares? it do 205km/h in downhill! i think it's a really good car for how much you pay it! and expecially i love when i go on three wheels! because it gave me no oversteering and no understeering! i really love it!
CRF250FGUY Do you have one or two sacks of gravel in the boot to keep the back end down? I remember Capri handling...certainly keeps you on your toes, especially on wet tarmac.....
@ Jeremy: Tear a product down and then build it up again. Think you're are bad cop / good cop all in one do you? For the money, it is an outstanding car. That car makes me grin after every journey.
i love mine, fun to drive, good on fuel, and cheap to insure
i've got one of these, it's superb!!
@rotarylover don't question the words of clarkson.
Renault do make really good engines and get more hp out of theirs compared to their competitors, even down to the bog standard versions.
I had a 1.6 clio 3 and took it to its max speed of 116mph, it even had the torque to pull away from a Ford Focus of the same engine size. The driver of the Focus was suprised. It even gave a Honda Type-S a run for its money. It was great because you cant tell whats under the bonnett and it suprised a few people! A wolf in sheeps clothing!
Sure.
top gear is great and clarkson is legend but you have to admit, while their all earning mega bucks and driving top notch motors they seem to have no consideration that a lot of people who watch the show can only afford cars like the 182 cup, and to some average joe its a bloody marvelous car!
Yep an update, picked up the car (just over 2 weeks ago) and sat nav took me straight through London instead of around :/ But I have noticed this car does get a lot of ''unwanted'' attention, got quite a few chavs saying ''nice car m8 is it fast innit''? But yes the car is very fast (got a vid of me doing 0-60 mph in 5.57 seconds which is up to you if you believe the video evidence) and touch wood everything is okay so far.
they dont do 5.57 seconds mate. Lads from northern renault running turbo kits only get 5.9 and my megane sport 225 gets 6.1 with michelin ps3's. Inferno is the best colour as well though
yeah but nobody watches Top Gear to know which car to buy, we like the show cause we love cars!
The Clio V6 is probably the only French car I'd have. Getting it over here to Canada might be an issue tho...
a car for the car lover. no person who enjoys cars will hate on this car. its flawed but thats what makes it so valuable in an age of dull thick pillar-ed cars.
Greg Smith I bet it's loads of fun around a track, However as a daily driver there's 100's of other cars I'd have instead of this.
The roads are full of Golf GTI and Type R... because they are the best. I rly am dissapointed in this renault. But i LOVE CLIO V6 !!!
I like the paint job.
Hopefully about to buy a inferno orange 182 with 10k miles cant wait :D
LOL @ the rear tire in the air
So have I! :). So what if there was only 500, the point is that it would be quicker than a Cup Pack 182
im wondering that too, did you ever find out?
Yeah,I don't think words could really do that justice
Love the sound of a V6! Miss mine...
Its not a v6 dude...
Anonymous -
I know, I was talking about the V6.
He says glides over the speed ramps and potholes, because he never ever came here in Brazil.
If he would come here he would know what really are potholes and speed ramps.
LOVE this car!
GREAT CAR!!!
