After watching that video the badge on my 182 looks to have shrunk :(

54 just hit 19k

Same here, 7.5 from new, no plans to sell. When I get something else this will stay in the garage on a limited mileage policy. Just passed the 19k mark the other day! If you've paid for it keep it as you'll only regret and end up wanting it back/wanting another. I would anyway

Don't discount the 182 cup as they are racing blue (or inferno orange) and have cup packs as standard. They also have a/c & cruise as standard. The seats are cloth and you don't get xenons or climate. Depends on what you class as important, but I'd definitely go for the cup packs.

I'm still on my original PE2's all round (7.5 yrs old) but low mileage (19k) - shed loads of tread left and no cracks

If you're happy then you made the right decision. Sounds like a nice motor.

Can't get link to work on phone, in Greece at mo which could be why :) will definitely have a look when get back. I covered more miles in my VTS in 18 months of ownership than this over 7 yrs. I did what you did and bought a runabout that I could basically use and not give a crap about, and now...

Agree, can't stand the new look twingo, hopefully it will not be a bigger version of that

Oh and the steering wheel has just started to get a little rough around one of the edges from when I had the drive done and left the car parked in the street for a while in the sun. Got to love the French quality :)

Thanks for the comments. Alex, your 225 must be a cracker, what mileage are you on?

Can't wait for this to come out. Looks from that pic aren't too bad, be good to see what the actual model looks like based on that. Cheaper tax, better economy, 5 doors all make sense to me. Looking at changing the wife's 1.2 next yr and was thinking 1 series/golf, but this seems a serious...

What about the soggy bread though :)

18,878 at the mo

A few more pics taken in today's sun following a quick wash and layer of collinite.

Great photos. Particularly like the sunflower ph1, very oldskool.

Mint. Really want one of these.

Yep full service history all at Renault with the exception of the belts which I got done at Birchdown. Failed its first mot at Renault due to corroded brake discs, but because of the mileage and condition of the car Renault uk paid for all round new discs and pads which was a bonus!

Love it, really want one of these myself. Have you had any issues with rust?

Both nice cars but I prefer the original wheels. How does it handle on the 15"s?

Cheers for all the comments. Forgot to mention, it's still on its original tyres as well with plenty of tread left. It spends all week in the garage and comes out at weekends if needed, but I hate leaving it anywhere in case it gets dinged. Keep looking out for a nice ph1 172 as love them but no...

If I could buy one new now it would have to be a 5 turbo

Keep reading more and more threads where belts have snapped on the 172/182 models which kind of concerns me. What are the main causes of this? Neglecting servicing, thrashing the crap outa the cars, or shoddy mechanics not knowing what they're doing? Just interested to know really. My car...

Lol, know how you feel mate. Took mine off to get a puncture repaired, leaned it against the wall, turned my back and the next thing i hear it fall flat on it's face - happended in bloody slow motion.

to the point, lol!

that looks absolutely mint.

Thanks for the comments. Not posted any pics on here for years. Beef-mc - yes it pretty much is a weekend car. When I bought it I did 5k in the first year and now I commute to work by train so it rarely needs to come out. If it comes out it goes on long journeys as opposed to short runs. It has...

Can't believe I've had this car nearly 8 years. Crazy! Here are some snaps I took this morning. I cleaned it last weekend so thought would take some shots whilst it's clean. Lunar miles.... Chavvy Sticker :-) one here from when I'd had it a week! one here from...

Mint 5 in racing blue with stripes in that work shop as well

Re: ***How much is my car worth?*** 182 cup, RB Stripes, Dec 04 54 owned from new, 18,200 miles, full service history (3 renault stamps and big cambelt service done at Birchdown), last service 2 days ago at Renault (coolant and brake fluid changed). No dings/scrapes, just one minor scuff on one...

i was taking an easy bend today at 25mph and the car momentarily went sideways - s**t one! the snow hadnt even stuck but was coming down. had a tailback after that as wasnt taking any risks!
