Astrid 4th Gear July 22, 2008 Share July 22, 2008 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! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relagsingh 4th Gear July 22, 2008 Share July 22, 2008 (edited) 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 Citroen and pugs have been using the same ol' 4AT gearbox for god knows how many years Edited July 22, 2008 by Relagsingh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shemmy Clutched July 22, 2008 Share July 22, 2008 What's your point? I've seen you posting this on other forums as well. Are you losing sleep over this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrid 4th Gear July 22, 2008 Author Share July 22, 2008 (edited) 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.

Shemmy Clutched July 22, 2008 Share July 22, 2008 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sony 1st Gear July 22, 2008 Share July 22, 2008 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! 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.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrid 4th Gear July 22, 2008 Author Share July 22, 2008 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
