V6 v 1*2 ..?

PMSL! Eh No...I'll have the rarri thanx
Dunno...never driven one. As i mentioned i can't see them being all that different in pace.
Being brutally honest...The Vee is s**t slow compared to other cars. But that doesn't bother me.
Again I will support the MK 1 handling. My MK 1 stuck to the road perfectly even at high speeds and never felt twitchy. I prefer the toys in the MK 2 but just miss the secure feeling when driving the MK 1.
I went to the bother of putting coilovers on my MK 2 and it made no difference whatsoever. I've heard coilovers completely transform a MK 1?

I suppose the only way to find out Which ones best is to drive both of them tbh, if I prefer the ph1 then I suppose it will work out cheaper also! Then I can spend some money on some light weight bucket seats and lightweight wheels 
What sort of price would I expect to pay for a mint ph1? Is there any known floors to look out for?
Also INS... Is the ph1 much cheaper over the ph2?
If so the ph1 might be the only one I can afford tbh,...
Cheers, Piers!

in my experience, they are pretty much identical to insure. maybe the value of a low mileage mk2 would make the policy higher...but they are both group 20.
theres not many options for lightweight wheels though!!
mint mk1 http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1004459.htm
look out for cat-d/cat-c, do not buy without doing HPI check.
do not buy one that does not have proof of cambelt change unless your getting a steal as its blooming expensive.
known flaws... standard exhaust rusts, stone chipped front bumper, missing rubber splitter, worn stearing wheel, worn seats and inner door grabs...nothing that really matters. alot of ph1's have hot starting issues due to fuel evaporation. they will always start after 4-5 seconds though. and all the gearboxes are noisey, its just the way it is,
any black smoke out the back is not good.
apart from that, just look for bodywork damage, proof of service history and make sure nothings missing from the car as even something like a wheel arch liner costs £300.

^ Your seriously barking up the wrong tree gaz. Gi it a rest.
Limiting mileage is one damn good reason, praticality of it. MPG for some...Use a bit of common sense before posting!

A common move to / from the vee is something like a Lotus Elise.
You need another car as they are totally impractical for everyday use.

Mint 1*2's for sale-
Ive had 2mk1 's & 2 mk2 's- All 4 were daily drives-
I must admit I noticed what felt like a big improvement in performance moving up to the mk2 as well as the bodywork moulding & general build quality of the car to be considerably better than the Mk1 one-
Not much to add- Buy a mk2 - you will always feel like the poor relation at a wedding with a mk1-
Best colours- LY, BG -
Avoid AY, LG -

I remember on one of the 1st Hyundai coupe adds (the really ugly one!) they said "in a survey 9 out of 10 people preferred the look of it over a Ferrari"
Think you must be thinking of the same muppets lol.

Clio RS ph1
Recently I asked myself the same question. I was driving in my ph1 172 when a ph1 V6 showed up in my rearviewmirror. After a few km we entered the highway and after the road was clear of trafic in front of us we went for is. Starting in 3th gear at about 80km/h.
At almost 200 km/h the V6 still didn`t manage to get past me. So obviously they aren`t that much faster:rasp:

Never been in a V6, i have had a play with a v6 225 in my old 182 and got to say i had the edge coming off a bend and up the straight he didnt catch me at all.
The 255 looks awsome though, wack a supercharger on and your sorted, look and listen to this one...
