I second the 'no opinion as long as it works' view, I think she thinks it's neat it has air con/cruise and a Bluetooth radio(aftermarket) etc, but would much rather I had something slower, German and about 10 years newer!
Oh and I get told I spend too much money on it in tax/insurance/servicing! [emoji389]

Women generally love German cars. And Golfs and Audi's. Buy any form of Golf or Audi and she'll say 'Oh i really like Golf's, i was going to buy a Golf instead of my car.'

Fact.

If its black, grey or white even better.

RIC172 · Nov 16, 2017

Agree with the above! My ex used to be embarrassed by my Clio 182 and often called it a boy racer's car. When I later got a Golf and then a 3 series she loved them though. My current car is a 172 cup (not the reason she's now my ex btw

Haha, that colour choice is so accurate it's unbelievable! I'm searching for a new car for her at the moment and nothing will get a look in unless it's black, grey or white!

Anyway, yea my mam loves it tbh.

Marc. · Nov 17, 2017

My Mrs liked my old 182 when we first met, but grew tired of it pretty quickly - as did I to be fair.

She hates her current car (Passat) but loves my current car (A3) so takes that whenever she can, leaving me with her messy car

Sunglasses_Ron · Nov 17, 2017

My old woman hates my Clio.

Suits me. Less cash spent on wheel refurbs.

neil a · Nov 17, 2017

My mrs love my X5 , comfy with heated seats .
She doent like going fast so hated my Porsche , the R8 she likes but again get told not to go fast...
She liked the colour of my RB clio and will probably never be in my new one but again likes the colour lol

Scrooge · Nov 17, 2017

Mrs likes being passenger in mine if going along slowly. Hates the noise when WoT, hates driving it. Far too fast, apparently.

Josh1708 · Nov 17, 2017

Mines referred to as “the s!#tty little Clio” by the misses[emoji23] I think it’s growing on her[emoji849]

CrippsCorner · Nov 17, 2017

The missus and pretty much my entire family refuse to get in my car because the suspension is too hard innit.

Godzilla · Nov 18, 2017

My significant other hated my Clio, she said it made her seasick.

dann2707 · Nov 18, 2017

My ex loved mine. Even painted me a model of it for my birthday. Ordered the sport model from France as couldn't get it here, got the Arctic blue paint mixed up for me then painted it by hand. Even got the half cage in the back there made from ear bud sticks. Sunstrip, bonnet ties, harnesses made out of painted blue tackle pieces haha

Hahaha. That's why she's my ex

KitsonRis · Nov 18, 2017

I managed to get mine on track once on the Clio, think she was just intreeged by what it was all about. She thought the Clio was loud, harsh and stupid. Prefered it when I too the orange wheels off. She much prefers the E34 I currently have as we can use it more, I couldn't see why we couldn't use the Clio more, it was one of the best cars I had owned and driven.

She has to drive my Octavia vRS and thinks that is massive, but thinks A3's, Golfs and Leons are better sized.... Although I have convinced her that I'm going to get an Austin Metro for her to drive mainly so I can have it when she can afford something to drop a 1.8 VVC in it. I even said the browner/beige the better and she agreed....I don't think she knows about the engine swap plan, might keep that from her.

Let me know when you fit it and I’ll come visit griff again

Oggy997 · Nov 19, 2017

Not sure if she likes it, it's too low, not comfortable after an hour, too big.... But great on motorways and overtaking & warm days with the roof down around the rural back roads.

Jekyll · Nov 19, 2017

My wife likes driving my RB182. Hated driving the Ph1 172.

Both were/are on coilovers, spacers and solid mounts. She just said that the 172 was hard to drive. Felt like hard work, yet finds the 182 easier.

Probably drove the ph1 -10 times, has driven the 182 more. Even drove it back from CSF. We swap cars if I decide I want to take hers to work, long journeys without her, etc.

She knows my pet hate of kerbed wheels and so far, so good!

Peperami · Nov 19, 2017

Have you all bought Grey German wagons yet?

Jamesss · Nov 26, 2017

She’ll never forgive me for selling the skyline 🙈

Sam · Nov 26, 2017

My wife drives my car more than i do.

123dan · Nov 26, 2017

Yes, she bloody loves it. I think she loves the BMW more but that's mainly a heated seat issue

chris blue · Nov 26, 2017

Mrs likes the Clio 172, i wouldnt say love- thats my department

Fitted a corbeau Clubsport in passenger seat and she seems to like that too, which is good cos I attend about 10 shows/track days a year, and she comes to half of them

She Luuuurrvs the Golf R, but that goes back in 3 weeks LOL

Danith · Nov 26, 2017

No, she hates/hated all of them. Only one she liked was the boring 330ci.
Think she hates the hobbyist side of it more though - lots of time and money 'wasted' apparently

Pacman. · Nov 26, 2017

I’ve been really lucky that my missus loves the Clio and she really loves going to Motorsport events and Trackdays. However she doesn’t like going in the car on trackdays as she gets real bad motion sickness.

She would be useless sharing a bed with me then buddy :wink:

My Mrs don't particularly like the clio. She hates what I've done to it rather than actually hating the car. She moans it's to noisy and bumpy which it is [emoji28][emoji28]

I end up slating her mini as it makes me feel better when she chews my ear off about the clio

I had an ex, she was really into cars, but she had an IQ of a pineapple. Can't have it both ways....
