Even tho its cheaper than the rest of the range its costs to run are still the same. Service every 4500 miles etc. Its quoted the 0-60 time is 6.1 but from experience even with only 2500 miles on the clock its much quicker than that. not 100% sure on mpg but it costs me £40 to fill up with...

Due to the garage not being able to fix all the niggling faults i decided to get rid. I was going to get an evo 8 fq 330 but couldnt afford it. Instead i bought the 260. It is much quicker than the 172 and i love the power of a turbo. I do miss quite a few things from the 172 tho Xenon...

got some money from my granparents and was going to get evo 8 fq 330 but finance company didnt agree. pick up my evo 8 260 in a couple of weeks

mine does it and it gets worse with tyre wear. Bumby roads are the worst because its so unpredictable. They seemed to have cured the problem with the 182 as that was ok when i test drove one a while back. Getting rid of my 172 because of all the other niggly problems with it and an awful garage...

Wow, so many posts. The money im getting only makes an Evo possible it will stilll be on finance, but less than what im paying at the momment. It will deffo cost more in the long run due to service costs etc and insurance premiums but hey im gonna enjoy it. Love to buy a house but its not...

Renault have had 5 chances to fix my 172, claiming each time that its something not covered under warranty then charging me the earth for it. Renault Uk were no help and the car is still faulty. I have just finished Uni and start a decent job in two weeks so the clio is gone. Really wanted to...

Got a quote for evo viii 340 for 1250 im 23 with 5yrs no claims, almost tempted by it. was 7000 miles a year and social use only

just turbo the 172

Renault leicester have brand new 172s going for 10k from what i have heard recently

Test drove the 182 on tue with cup suspensions pack and it stuck to the road like glue. Engine sounded quiter than the 172 and you could hear the exhaust at high revs. Didnt feel as fast as my 172 but im sure its because the engine is still tight and would loosen up after a few miles. Overall...

took my car in for the strange tapping sound and they found nothing wrong, took the guy out and he said he could hear it as well but didnt know what it was. ive managed to narrow it down to the back right of the car possibly the wheel so im going to take off the whell and have a look at the...

My CV got done under warranty, why all the difference, it pisses me off when dealers that are all renault have different rules. It should all be the same, price and warranty work

Driving with windows open today (first time) and there was a tapping sound coming fromm the back of the car. it got faster and louder when i sped up but didnt go away when i stopped acceleration and dipped the clutch, any ideas what it could be? looks like its going in to renault, again!

anyone know where i can get a performance filter other than bb tuning they want £8.54 to deliver which seems a bit much
