Loved this car, went really well and had loads of room in it. loved the rear 'magic' seat which allowed me to roll my bike in without taking any wheels off. Hate the new version which is why we never stayed with the Civic.

Clio V6 !!! ... now you've posted that I'm sure you might have mentioned that before.
What a car, I can appreciate why that one does stick in the memory and still looks a cool car today
Your RS5 in suzuka is probably my fave though Craig.

Anyhow, thought I'd add a pic, seeing as everyone has. As you can see, I prefer driving cars to polishing them!

Yeah I've had two Clio V6's.
You'll never get a car that is so brilliant, yet so flawed.
I'll have another one once the mortgage is paid off, will have to pay for it too, prices have been on the rise since I sold my second.

Despite keeping it for a ridiculously short amount of time, the RS5 is the one Audi I've really, really liked.
Just terrible timing, so it had to go.
