before u do sum work on it tho the polo gti is pretty disapponting. well, on paper neway there isnt a whole lot of 'bang'. a turbo doesent automatically make it good/fast, it jus improves it... but in the end it all comes down to personal preference neway :)
i wanted a clio sport b4 the type S... but after driving both... the type S done it for me.. interior is much nicer and friendlier on the eyes.. i dunno most of these kind of European cars like "peugeot, renault, saab, volvo.." have pretty ordinary interiors...
I also test drove the Clio before deciding on the type S. Found the Clio a little small but didn't mind the styling. It was the high revving power band of the K20 and rifle like gear box that made the honda the clear winner in my eyes. Something about the vtec power band i just found more exciting.Quote:

ITR's are great, but Clios are fantastic :)
I beleive the www.ozrenaultsport.com/forum/ guys would also agree :)
that's a biased opinion, there only there because they love thier renaults to diss em.
lol.
same as here.
i'm only here becuase i drive a honda, hondas are slow.
lol.
WTF... the Clio Sport has a 22mm rear sway, while the Cup has a 24mm. That's overkill and yet their handling is not superb..............
it's just not about swaybars now.
=p
lol.
BWAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHQuote:

Just type Integra/Civic/Honda into their search. :D
They linked this thread on their forums waaaaay before we found their forum.Quote:

The new clio v6 is beautiful (watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnHjPyzJRMA ) but not practical (and $$), and the new polo gti looks great too, but I can't afford it!
So I've come back to the ITR (dc2). I think it suits my needs well enough; cabin noise doesn't bother me. Plus, I feel more connected with the road and car if it speaks to me. Driving my mom's Camry makes me feel airsick because sitting in it reminds me of flying in a plane.

Well i'm biased as i have owned both a honda and now a cliosport 172 ha :)
and driven a few DC2R's, its just horses for courses, there is always space in my garage for a ITR as they are pure japanese honda brilliance. But bang for buck on the used car market you cant go past these clio sports, just take one for a test drive and see for yourself. And the looks well...umm i like the way they look, beauty is in the eye of the beholder :)
Great thread tho... keep the rivalry and *friendship* alive between JDM and EDM in my opinion, and *three cheers* to FF hot hatches all round, as they all bring a smile to our faces when faced with a twisting piece of blacktop :)
