Hot hatch thread: CIVIC EP3 TYPE R VS. CLIO 3 SPORT. They are so similar: both are manual, both have a 2000cc engine, both have 200hp. What do you guys think is the best choice?
This is about the fn2. The Clio is the same I really thought when I drove it, fast in the corners, slow in the straight line. And it got faster accelerations from 80kmh in the 6th gear. They are so close but the Clio really fits better to me.
Personnaly i prefer the type r for the looks of it
It also got standard racing seats
Renault, his engine is so good. And at high rev sounds great.
I think the VTEC sounds better
Type R, because it’s a lot more reliable than a Ren(f)ault.
As far as I know, Renault had reliability issues mainly before 2005.This Clio RS might not be that bad.
Type R all the way
Civic because more aftermarket parts available and the engine responds better to modifications!
Throttle body! Nothing’s more amazing!
Clio
You so European lol
I think the Clio looks better and it’s more modern, but the Civic won’t fall apart after 200.000 km, it’s marginally bigger (more practical) and a lot better built. Huge aftermarket support too. But… I’d have to drive both to make a decision
If I will ever buy the Clio I will find something with less than 100.000km so I will enjoy it for the next 100.000 lol :P
My mum used to have a clio of the same generation. i loved it but the interior and build quality was awful. go for the civic i say.
Yes bro, the interior is the same as a Dacia Sandero. But what I love the most is handling and the exterior.
I would choose the EP3, more reliable, more aftermarket parts, and for me, it looks way better than the Renault. Also, VTAAAAAAAAAAK!
