Selling my 350z to come back to a clio. Your not crazy, they are great fun to drive!

Indeed I am, going to see a 172 today with 64k and full service history. I agree with others on the colour front though.

You maybe did mate I can't remember. I had no real perspective on fuel and was seeing a bird that was a fair distance away. I was spending £80 a week or so in fuel in the clio so was looking at changing. Anyway got rid of her (not just for fuel bills ha), treated myself to a 350z had some fun...

Thank you that was one of my main concerns. Think it will be a 172 and spend the left over dollar on making a few changes if needed.

I feel ashamed I even looked! Going to have to delete my browser history now!

Was really confusing to look at the shopped one. Not a fan

I had a 182 ff and it was great, just it is getting towards the top of my budget really. Is there much between a 172 and 182, seem to have pretty similar stuff for the everyday commute.

I would do it! It is a great car don't get me wrong but I couldn't see it been a long term car.

Exactly this! Fast in a straight line no doubt but for the roads round me a clio will beat it hands down. Fuel and parts are very expensive, 20mpg all day everyday. However the sound is great and look awesome, gets stupid amount of attention if that's your thing and people have no idea what it...

Just to add to that mpg wise is there any difference between the 172 and 182. I used to be able to get 40+ in my 182 if needed, is this possible in a 172?

Yer I do a few miles so don't think I could put up with a cup after the 350z luxury haha. Yer thinking a good 172, then have the left over budget for a few improvements. Is there really any noticeable difference performance wise between the 172 and 182?

2k-3k ideally.

So I am going to be selling my 350z in the next month or so to make way for a new car. Only had it a few months but for me it really isn't practical and drinks fuel for fun. The plan is to go back to a clio again as I had a 182 before the 350z and it was a great all round car, will also free up...

I think it looks good.

Sounds awesome! Lovely looking motor too

Jeez some people! Going to take some fixing. Hopefully you can get it paid for somehow!

Haha actually thinking of coming back to a clio. Had a 182 before the 350.

Want to come along and meet you all, however currently don't have a Clio is that allowed? Ha

Thank you pretty much clears it up. Yes the one I have is the demon shine snow foam. I will have to have a look for a snow foam lance, any recommendations? I have a karcher pressure washer, but don't think that will make a difference? For years I have hand washed and used the hose pipe but now...

Thanks for the replies. This is the lance I have, has a very small capacity I know. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003GBCM1A/?tag=cliospnet01-21 It does appear to soften the dirt as you say. I will have to give the car a good wash and then polish and wax. The car is fairly new to me and with the...

So I am total newbie to snow foam and I admit I know very little! I was hoping some one can give some advice on using it and what brands to use. I basically have a snow foam lance and have bought a product called demon as it was the only product stocked at the local motor factors. I gave the car...

Welcome! Good choice on changing the wheels. The new ones should look more subtle

My rear shocks also went on the rear and did not corner at all properly. Hard to describe but was hopping about, basically compressing right down under any load.

Jeez we have had a bit of rain here but nothing like that!

Really good concept but will take a lot of effort and as mentioned no doubt some will be boring as a 1 second snippet isn't that great for the effort you put into it. I have a few friends who have done the whole a picture a day thing for a year or so. That was pretty good but you always end up...

Nice to see you finally posting pictures up. Forum says you tried to pm me but I had run out of room, should send now cleared the inbox.

Yep as everyone says gives everyone a bad name and exactly why police try stop this sort of event.

Now up for sale!

The car currently won't pass it's MOT test due to emissions, is there any common problems which could be causing this? It's a 182 and I think it has a ktec exhaust which was on when I bought the car.

Love it! Makes me want to change to silver wheels
