Nah, turbos are fine on big boosty barges, but on a little chuck-about hot hatch I'd trade the extra power for the better throttle response from a NA engine. Of course, as a mid-life crisis hot hatch, what you should really be getting is a nice unmolested 205 GTi 1.6, thereby combining middle-aged nostalgia with an inappropriately youthful car.
Brommers-
Quite.
I've got my 90s 911 for nostalgia, but it's overrated.
Nostalgia is, I mean, not the 911.
Old cars are basically just shitter new cars.
I drove a R5 GT Turbo recently. It was too noisy and crashy for serious consideration.
The Clio will, I hope, tread the perfect balance between the gay abandon of youth and the sensibleness of middle age.
Hefty
Yeah.
In theory I really fancy the high-revving Clio, but I do wonder if I'd prefer the wooshy Megane for the 90% of the time that I'm not ragging it.
