you will IMHO get a few rattles that were probably not present in the CTR, and you can expect a few trips to the dealer for niggly problems, but apart from that i am happy with the car
why are you swopping from the CTR?

forgot to say i had a powered steering hose fail and oil seaping up from the rocker cover bolts but both are now fixed
Ive driven both extensively and hard.
I could spend ages describing the minute differences between the two but the bottom line is that they are so similar I cant see why anyone would go from one to the other for the sake of it.
My mates CTR has had more faults than my 182 though if that helps but if you play the law of averages you somehow know the Clio is more likely to break. Or maybe Clio owners feel more free to discuss the faults whereas people that have paid out more for a CTR are inclined to keep quiet?

Thinking of swapping because I could do with some extra cash.Only had the CTR for a few months and I do really like it apart from in the wet when it gets a bit of an hand full to stop the wheel spin. Its only a 54 plate so should have spare cash left over after a swap.
dude swop with me, what colour you got. were you at, pic of mine, you got one of yours

Clio trophy
my 182 is amazing!!!!
i have never had a fault!!! i have never had to take my 182 back to the dealer five times for the same fault for them to then claim it doesnt exist and then have to drive an astra van and toyota yaris for almost two weeks!!!!
AND then go and pick up my newly fixed 182 for it to break down 10 minures later!
never happened...
ever...
just IMO i wouldnt say you are up or down grading as they are both very nice and fast cars! and every car has its own faults the type R im sure isnt perfect as zippyy would be changing hes car! lol i know ur on bout (CASH NEEDED) but you dont sound happy with the car either?
IMO i LUV the clio soo much its great fun and beats a TYPE R in looks i think so go for it mate if u can make a bit of cash and hav a better car sounds good to me just dont know why you didnt get a 172/182 in the first place!
Welcome

I do really love the CTR and the noise it makes after 5,500 revs and also the gearbox must be the best Ive used. Idont want to end up regreting the change though. Had a 5 turbo a few years ago and it kept falling to bits. Have Renault improved the build quality since the 80s?
call yorself renault enthusiasts,and (182 blue) for f**k sake do you have any idear what car you want??? yes get the 182 dude coz the type raa aint sh*t!,the clio pisses on it !!!
Whilst it might rattle a bit, youll find that the Clio is mechanically quite sound. Whilst theyre not as well put together as the Civic, they certainly dont just fall to bits.
Its as quick as a CTR in most situations, is way more fun to drive and has a spec list that puts the Civic to shame. Buy a nearly new 182 for 10k, bank the cash and enjoy owning the greatest hot hatch of all time.
yes but if the clio had 6 gears,then it maybe on an even kyle.....
