If you saw 3 Clios in a day, surely that is telling you that they are common and evry one has one.

Often seen 3 GTAs in a day?

Anyway at the moment i am buying F...K all, all my cars except for the Gordini Turbo are off the road with either engine or body problems. Thats maybe why I now fancy a newer automobile, then again my mate with the clio V6 has already had a new gearbox at 1500 miles :( :oops: :cry:

bullocks i should just stick with a reliable Honda S2000!!! 'voted most reliable and pleasurable car to own' :wink:

phase 1 or 2? phase 1 common problem the boxes break very easily,they are crap.... the phase 2 has a stronger box in it...... that's why phase 1 are much cheaper to buy than a phase 2 :shock:

It's a Phase 2, 255 model :roll: I think it's the way he drives anyway. Not gentle on the gears especially first.

For me its a combination of factors.
But basically it's the GTA being different from modern day cars and having a subtle good looks.
It may not be as fast as some of the more rapid hot hatches but quite frankly it's fast enough for me and as a recent garage attendent said "it looks quick!"

And when I get the SS exhaust from Mr DG it will sound it too! :D
