I would love a 182 but I have to stick to my diesel clio :(
BMW M4; S1000 RR
There is no 1.9 dci for the Clio.
DCI 100s are pretty rare. If you can find one then go for it. Pretty nice things indeed.

I get free diesel too. I also get free petrol, but not sure what the benefit would be when it comes time to drive off....
cock mobile.
Or that...
I know but there is for the Meggy

Of a Seat/VW TDi!! Chip one of them and you'll get a bit bhp/torque increase and still see 60mpg.
Not in the real world, you wont.

When i test drove the dci 100 i didnt feel that there was much difference between that and the dci 80 that i currently own! I def wasnt gonna pay the extra £1500 for the extra 20bhp!
Also another thing to consider is that the dci 100 is in the higher tax bracket too, i think where as the dci 80 is still only £50 a year!

Was waiting for you or edde to say that
Pingu how many miles are on your DCI and have you ever cleaned the EGR valve?
They didn't fit a 1.9 into the Mk2 phase 2 they did into the phase 1 but noone belives me even some dealers don't belive me.
They never fitted it to the phase 2 as there was no point the 1.5 satisfied the neww it was just as quick but cheaper to run.
Also it woulnd't directly fit the pump would need modifying plus the JC5 gearbox is already on the limit with the dci 80 so there no point trying with a 1.9 engine and suited box.
I'd say get a dci 80 personally forget the 100 they always are up for silly money and the gearbox is usless in all the opnes I've driven (its a different box). I tried a Ibiza 130hp model but the handling was very dull the cxar felt cheap ly designed it didn't look nice and the engine power curve wan't that good either then again it was brand new.
The Clio Imo is a more fun car HP isn't everything.

No need to clan the EGR valuve if you hammer the car ll the time and don't give it ages to idle just go easy for a minute or so before shudown. Idling is the problem on the cars IMO people just don't treat them hard.
Not sure possible they did 3 spec diesel I think in the phase 1 Mk2's the 61hp the 80 and the 110 or so ish models the 61 was the N/A one people know existed

The 1.9dti was about 100bhp according to stat pages.
edde is right about the Clios being more fun.
When I had to sell the 120, I looked all all sorts of small cars, Skoda 1.4mpi is a good engine, but the car is quite... floaty.. Looked at the typical things like 206s and Clio petrols.
Ended up with the dci 80 because the Clios were pretty nimble, and the 80 is a good performer in 3rd and 4th gear for such a small car. Just lacks top end, but it's only a 1.5 so can't really complain at 117mph (pretty much at the limiter on GPS, was about 126 on the clock).

Dont need to drive one mate, I have a 182 and a Cooper S and they would both destroy it

I havent driven a Chevrolet Matiz either but I know its not fast. I havent driven an F1 car either so I guess I cant comment on whether that is fast either
Clio Dci100 Dynamique
I hav a dci 100 and its fab!
Yeah they stil are £50 a year to tax, and only group 5 insurance.
Did 62MPG last month. Little bit stodgy round the corners, but i found lower profile yokies fixed that, and very good for overtaking.
Gettin it remapped in 2 weeks, should see me 130 bhp and more torque than a 182. Nice.
