What's annoying with the car
Many owners drive their V6s as their day-to-day cars. A couple of the "small" challenges that you might consider are :
Clearly storage space is limited. However, after a bit of practice it is possible to fit a surprising amount in ... trips to IKEA for armchairs have been successfully made in V6s.
The turning circle is rather large. As Mr. Clarkson joked, oil tanker captains have been known to joke that their ships have the turning circles of Clio V6s. You quickly learn what you can't get around, when to start turning (half as far away again as a normal car), and that old tight multi-storey carparks are a no-go zone for your V6.
The clearance at the front is pretty low too, especially on the Mk2. This adds another reason why you'll avoid multi-storey carparks.
The front-end readily picks up stone chips and many/most V6s will have their front end spray for cosmetic reasons every few years.
The only significant reliability issue comes from the weakness of the ignition coils ...(now resolved with update coils) you'll find this discussed elsewhere on the Knowledgebase.
Being treated like a film star with everybody watching you and your car, and random people wanting to talk to you about it. Annoying to some ... but I love it!
