The fuel costs are silly, thats why i hardly drive it, its not a practical car, far too loud, and at best 16/17mpg. normally about 150miles from full and its re-fill time. Just to state i normally drive around in a 1.6 primera so im hardly in a position to start sl*gging any of you off.

I bought the car for £4500. And spent 17.5k on it so far. I imagine its probably only worth £8-9k

Paddy, i see your point. 1 1/2 secs aint really a lot, but the performance obviously kicks in after that. Racing to 100 or 130 or 150. Im sure there would be a lot more than 1 1/2 secs. Again im not on here winding up, sl*g me off if you wish i normally drive around in an old primera. I use the...

Thats a standard GTIR and i know about the ugly looks and little wheels, but in standard form its still 1 pocket rocket. 5.1secs to 60 i think. Im not saying the 172 times are false, they just seem exceptional compared to the times that the so called top gear drivers have got. As to the...

Im not on here winding you up trust me i really like the clio172 as an everyday car. Craggy youve got 1 fast car for a 130brake, i would imagine it struggling past 100 though. Not sl*gging just interested. Whoever says about the nissan skyline, if youve got an extra 50grand and 5500 insurance...

I dont know mate, i shouldnt go by mag figs but theyre not normally that far out.

Race mine at Crail, are you suggesting a better time at york, why??? whats so good about york dragstrip??

You want to challenge a near 400brake pulsar, dont be silly!!!

mid 14s, is that not what your 3.0 v6 is claiming??? remember this has over 250bhp. It seems very quick to me. Ive ran 12.87 1/4 in my 382bhp 360lb ft Pulsar GTIR. To say its only 1 and a 1/2secs quicker than a standard 172, is basically untrue.

Ive read your forum for some time now, and a lot of the time i hear you all claiming your 0-60, 1/4miles, and 0-100s. How are you timing these? Mate and a stop watch aint accurate. You would need to go to about 105-6mph to actually get your 0-100 time. Ive read of 6.8secs for a standard...
