The 172 is the better car out of the two, and the one I'd have.

Not quite sure how it came down to deciding between those two The Clio is leagues above the Fiesta.

You'll get a newer shape 172 for 3k, looks much better than the phase 1.

I know you had your heart set on the Fiesta the other day mate but i would definitely take the Clio in your shoes!

Or as said above, The VTS, They are relatively cheap being a 1.6 very light and handle well but hard to drive if your tall or have big feet IMO

Fiesta easy. Put a FRP engine in. or puma engine, 1.7 go like shit off a shovel. clios are girl hair dresser cars, also french shite.

Why would he go for the Fiesta to then spend a lot more money on it, for it still to be slower A 172 will hammer a Puma engined Fiesta. FRP would be closer but good luck getting an engine for a decent amount.

I was thinking about getting a Focus ST, but I think I'll get a Corsa and XE it instead.

P1 172 looks so much better than the P2.

The P2 looks watered down.Front end on the P1 is much better looking.

Correct me if im wrong but the frp is a puma engine, apart from the frp spec its pretty much the same engine as any other 1.7 puma and i cant see a fiesta with one take any clio sports.

Any clio below the 2.0 is a girls car.

The FRP is 150+bhp is it not? Would be a lot closer to a 172 with that engine, but still can't see it winning. About the same weight, less power.
