ok ppl i need help ive been tryin 2 decide wot car 2 get over summer, but keep changin me mind between the above options.
i really like saxo's despite wot the rest of u think of them and had decided to get a vtr, however, i also would like something fast like clio 16v, but this means gettin an older car, which is like takin a step backwards, but its cheaper.
so i wud like sum opinions plz, im lookin at spendin sumthin in the region of £5-6k n no higher than ins grp 12/13

1.8 clios are very fast!!! Feel alot quicker than they are. I'd say they clio if u can find a tidy, non-ragged model

yeah, i'd say clio as well.
m8s got one with 110K on it, still going strong.
watch out for clutches though, i've heard they r quite weak?

i am edging ever closer to the clio 
i can pick up a mint N reg clio 16v with low mileage for between £2.5-3.5k, and my budget will be about ££5-6k so therefore i wud have in the region of £2-3k to mod it 
me dad pays me insurance
