Integra Type R vs Renaultsport clio 182/172

Hi guys,

sorry to do another what car! i asked a similar question recently but am now ready to buy and have narrowed my choices abit.

Basically i have a 20 mile daily commute down A/B roads plus abit of town driving and view driving as something to enjoy so want something fun to drive!

I want something:

Fun to drive
Interesting
Practical enough for daty to day living
I can work on myself as i am abit of a diy mechanic.

The way i see it is:

Integra has better seating position and wont depreciate if looked after.

clio is more modern which would be nice after a string of 80's cars but will depreicate abit more.



Any experiences are welcome.

Thanks for all the advice guys.

My budget is about £3-3.5k so low end of DC2 territory but it wont depreciate and some examples seem good for that amount....

I guess its a case of driving both really!

Thanks

You guys have pretty much made up my mind! It will have to be a lower end example but it seems there is a big gulf in prices atm, either £3k-3.5K or £6-7k ish. I have seen a few examples that could prove good though.

Thanks for all the words of wisdom guys, i think im going to have a look at a local DC2 to see what i get for my money and go from there.... the lack of depreciation appeals aswell as ive never sold a car for less than i bought it for ( i have spent money on those cars though so is a slight loss).
