Clio V6 - Everyday car?

[Focus ST]

Hi,

I've got a Focus ST on order as I was trying to me more 'practical' with my cars but as Ford keep failing to build my car im getting a little pished off with it so, back to my original car I have always wanted, a clio V6 .

Basically can these be used everyday? They certainly have all the luxuries and as long as they can do 22mpg when not being 'Sunday driven', I can live with that. I wanted a mark II V6 when I last bought a car but they were still too much money and bought a Honda S2000 instead, but looking about they are the same money as a new ST so I am considering off loading my order.

Any thoughts and tips?

Cheers,
Dan

Hehe . I can live with virtually no luggage space, I am single and still live at home and thats the reason I can afford to have one at the moment, come 2 years time and its back to reality!

I can live with low service intervals, tyres etc... its unreliability I can't. But as long as theres no known problems with the Mark II and the Focus falls through, its got to be the option .

Awww thanks for the replies!

I shall see how it goes with the dealer at the weekend, if I have to wait 6 weeks for the ST then I will try and get my deposit back. The mark II V6 did have a big rework but I wasn't sure what problems still existed but it does sound like they ironed them out .

I am used to no space... I had an S2000 until a few months back and I need something that looks a bit special and I adore the V6... shall see what the outcome is at the weekend.

Cheers guys . I had a look at a mark 1 yesterday and wasn't impressed with the interior, but I have driven a 182 in the past so I know the mark 2 is much better . I am going to hold out for 2 more weeks to see if I get a build date on the ST... otherwise I might be on the look out .
