    197 - just checked it out - WTF?

    I had a 172 cup from new until my son arrived 8 months ago then I had to switch to a family scenic ... Anyway, just checked out the photos etc of the new 197 and I can't believe Renault have taken what I considered "the best" hot hatch available and basically fucked it all up... Here's...

    minter 5 turbo, sell or keep... dilemma :(

    Righty, I've got a minter 5 turbo which I keep garaged in the winter and drive in the summer. I'm the 2nd owner from new, the previous keeper was a lady in her 50's who owned it from new since 1989. She sold it as she had a shoulder problem and the doctors told her she needed a car with power...

    the "new" clio = wtf :( ?

    sorry, but the more I see the "new" clio.. the more it just reminds me of a shitty pug 206 with a renault badge on it... long live the 172 cup (the best "clio" ever made imo!).. renault have cocked up on this occasion I think.

    its bullshit, i checked the site about 3-4 months ago and it said my exchange would be active in march 2006 for 24mbit... I checked 2 weeks ago and now it just says that there are plans with no specific date... it's one of those sites which wants to start on the hype, pre register users.. but...

    my 172 cup is gone :~(

    yeh its the 1.4... at the end of the day, yeh its slow.. but it gets from A to B, thats all I wanted.. something bigger, safe, with basic comforts. When we go back to being a 2-car family i'll get another hot hatch or so, i've still got my 5 turbo in the garage for the summer months ;)

    172 cup

    i've got the same problem mate. Just done a deal today to trade my cup in for a scenic (new shape)... seems like the ideal "family" car, I would recommend checking them out. I got 7k trade-in for my 03 cup with 24k on the clock.. (they offered £6200 but I spent a long time negotiating before...

    Problems with the Cup continue.....

    my cup does that too... i heard its a common fault but it can be fixed by them modifying something. i only notice it on full right lock reversing off my drive when i leave the house.

    172 cup traded in vs scenic - UPDATE

    deal completed today... my cups going end of the week, got 7k trade in for it... went for a testdrive today in the scenic and the missus loves it. All in all it's a good deal I feel, people have been saying spend a few grand on another car, but then that means twice as much insurance, twice...

    172 cup traded in vs scenic - UPDATE

    Thats a good valid argument I guess.. the problem I have is, yes, I would like a dynamique or something with more gadgets, but I really don't have any extra cash.. to pay £2000 to get a car 1 year newer than my cup which does the job I need it to is very attractive, esp. the fact it only has 9k...

    172 cup traded in vs scenic - UPDATE

    im taking it for a test drive tomorrow so i'll see what it's like. i'd love to get a bigger engine etc, but i can't afford it at the moment as i've taken a year out of work to do a masters.. ideally i wanted a like for like swap, but the best they could offer me was the old shape on on a 52...

    trade in price for my 172 cup

    yeh, i really dont wanna part with the cup, but got a 4 week old baby now and getting the buggy in the cup means removing parcel shelf, then theres no boot space for anything else etc.. girlfriend moaning on etc.. i'll get another decent car again one day, i've still got my minter 5 turbo in...

    trade in price for my 172 cup

    I guess i need to say then, if anyone is wanting a cheap cup make me an offer.. i'm going to go back to them tomorrow and tell them I want at least £6600 for my cup, I think £6200 is a bit poor... the other dilemma I have is their scenic is £8995 with 9k on the clock, registered jan 04 wtih...

    cup 172 - broken cambelt, fixed but wtf is this noise?

    basically theres 2 sounds.. theres the quiet rattling from 2-5k if i accelerate in 3/4/5th gear... and theres a knocking sound present when the engine is ticking over at idle which comes and goes which i've noticed. The problem is I don't know if it's me just being sensitive and looking for a...

    172 cup vs Megane sport

    When you say fair bit quicker I don't think it's a case of the megane is a spec in the horizon.. are we talking minimalistic gaps here (e.g. 2 car lengths by the time both reach 90), or are we talking about the megane being an FQ400 contender?
