The Clio Sport beats MCS JCW on track. See how the Mini oversteers onto the grass verge!

 

 

And as for nifty maneuverbility, the Clio outsmarts the Mini too!

I must say the french really knows how to make good handling FWD cars. Their old pugs like the 205 and 306 are known for their exceptional handling.

 

i think they spent too much time, making them look good and handle well and forgot to improve their build quality and auto gearboxes [laugh]

 

Citroen and pugs have been using the same ol' 4AT gearbox for god knows how many years [sweatdrop]

It was originally posted in minisg forum, without any comments (negative, or otherwise) ... just a URL link to the YouTube site comparing the Clio Sport to the MCS JCW.

 

But it was almost immediately removed by the mini forum administrators. Too sensitive for mini owners, I guess. Can't accept the truth?

 

I think it may be what Jeremy Clarkson had said toward the end of the 'Part 2 of 2' clip that could have portrayed the MCS JCW in a lesser light and that the Clio Cup being deemed as the best hot hatch around.

 

So now its here, in a general car forum site, with a more wider readership (hits) in SG.

 

All comments are most welcomed. No sleep lost bro. [wave]

Maybe one would feel that a mini is overpriced but if you put cost aside, it is a very well packaged car. That's my opinion only la.

for a start, mini is not just about oversteering or nifty maneuverability.. it's about culture and iconic status.. or whatever it is.

 

If someone is looking for a better handling car between mini and clio, then go for clio, but the person is just looking for a "character" car, then maybe it's a mini.

 

Either way, it's a personnal perference. Not that I'm saying Clio got no character..

I don't think Jeremy Clarkson was comparing 'culture', 'iconic status', or whatever you call it.

He was just comparing pure handling competency and maneuverability between the 2 cars.
