I would really like a V6, but I don't think I would look right in it.

Still, I love the car. Would love a rag!

Sorry got carried away. As for pro's, limited number were sold. Quite rare. Probably on the road than there are days in the month, well not quite. cons - bit ghay and high IG, two seats.. wouldn't want to guess at parts.

I would personally go for the V6 but I have to admit I'm a big fan of their looks and don't really like the look of the megane. Not really got any pros or cons for you just that I would go with the V6, lol.

Nah, i would not mind a clio v6 myself but the Megane 230 R26 F1 is the better car of the two.

I'd have a leon cupra over the megane. A clio v6 doesn't really have any competition which makes it cool no matter how crap it is

can't get a 3 door Leon though, that's a deal breaker for me.

I couldn't imagine having to live with a 3 door car (as the only car)

Generally 3 doors look better but when its 5 door only it doesn't matters.As it goes i think the Leon is suited as a 5 door. The lancia - not so much

Of course, given the option i'd have a saloon

So i want a clio v6 5 door hatchback with a boot please, diesel
