Mini Reviews - Clio 197 Cup/Corsa VXR
197 Cup - Grip. Internal organ shifting amounts of grip. More grip than
anything ever. Awesome sound, 100-0 in just sub 4 seconds - the brakes were
epic (big Brembos all round). Great engine that just begged to be ****ted.
Good gearbox. Didn't check for cup holders, dash in the Cup isn't soft
touch like the full fat - didn't care.
Corsa VXR - less grip, but still loads of it, slightly more roll, fantastic
engine (1.6 Turbo) with loads of torque. Felt somehow a little slower than
the 197. Styling a bit OTT for me - but the blue is nice. Interior is
seats, standard fit Recaros are brilliant. Bluetooth phone syncing thing is
the best gadget ever. Ride a bit bouncy and skittish but it was wearing
225/35/18 tyres. Again, awesome sound.
Conclusion - preferred the Clio, felt more stable. Corsa more tunable, but
a bit crass looks wise.
