I am actually considering getting rid of my RS172 for an ATR. RS Clio's are particularly over rated imn my opinion. I would much rather be driving a ten year old Honda everyday than my 5 year old Clio!
I only have a standard exhaust but I am considering a decat. Would it be worth it for me? I dont intend on putting on a new exhaust for a while so I see this as a cheap fix to tie me over. Also what sort of decat would anyone recommend?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

The build quality in the Honda is far superior to a Clio. Even 13 years on my Integra felt better than my current 6 year old RS. The gearbox in the Integra is nicer and I had no problems with driving mine daily. Yes it may be a bit firm and the gearbox a bit short for motorway miles on the early...
Took my girlfriends DCI on a good run (around 90 miles) with a mixture of motorway and A roads and was getting 69mpg but I think it's only an 80PS model.
I had a DC2 and now I own a Ph2 172. Fair enough my 172 is completely standard but compared to a standard DC2 the difference is like night and day. LSD and Recaro's make B roads epic compared the Clio and vtec is brilliant. You could pick up a 96 spec JDM DC2 for under 5k with 60k on it and they...
Webuyanycar is a joke, I really dont understand why anyone would sell their car to them. I just bought a Ph2 172 off a Renault dealership. It only has 22500 miles on it and Renault changed the belts and it also needed a new set of driveshafts. If the belts haven't been done I would seriously...
This is true, your ECU has to have like a running in time to adjust to the new map.
Are standard ECU's OBD2 or do you need to get a piggyback ECU before you can get a re map?

Thanks for all the advice folks, you have been a great help. My Impreza is now for sale in the cars for sale section if anyone is interested in a swap ;)

Thank goodness James, I thought I would've had a lot of haters disagreeing with me!
So apart from the belts needing changed is there anything else in particular I should be looking for that would affect the way the car drives etc?
I am a real noob to the world of Renaults so any afvice at all...
Horrendous in the way that my girlfriend has a 1.5DCi and the interior is nicer, the seats are horrible for a car that is meant to be a hot hatch.
What about 182 FF with "Cup Packs." What does this mean? Does it mean that you can have a FF but with the wider track of the Cup and the spoiler?

Should hopefully have my Impreza sold in the next few days and I am looking something small and sporty yet fairly economical. A couple of friends have had or do have RS Clio's and have all pretty much told me the same thing but I'm just wondering if there's something in particular to look out...
