Its not got the original BBS alloys so its worthless as a Limited 172 Exclusive however they are great cars and have nice full leather and rare paint i would buy it but then i already have one!
It may be £3600 to start with but once you get a taste of that 172bhp kick you will be driving way beyond your own limits in no time. The car doesnt suffer fools even with abs. You will wrap it wround a tree and if you do live which is doubtfull then think how high your insurance will be the...
I take it from the lack of possitive points about its handling it doesnt live up to the renaultsport brand. I have heard the acceleration is mega fast and i think it was evo said that it would outsprint an RS focus?
Its the cam profile what do you expect from a car thats sub 7secs 0-60 and 182 P.S from a 2.0 16v. The VVC helps but it will always idle crap. Just give it more revs when you pull off then it wont judder as much the 172/182/cup are only ever truly happy when doing 4k+, but thats all i ever do...

Im just in the process of ordering, which exhaust is this - K3,K5 OR K8 etc.
also is it to loud without the baffles, i dont do long motorway runs...
I cant believe your all interested in a people carrier looky likey. The CTR maybe well built and hav an excellent gear box but the 182 is in a different league when you have owned as many renaults as me you come to accept there little traits however at no point do they detract from the grin you...
Just look at the front grill between the bonnet and bumper phase 1 has 2 flat strips of plastic ph2 has one cured piece of plastice also the wing mirrors are bigger on the ph2 which is odd.
At last an owner with the right attitude of course the bits will fall off and you will get buzzy interior, but have you ever been in a rally spec car they creak and squeek like f**k and this gives you the same sort of cheeky grin on your face that a rally car gives when you push it past the...
Bullet proof reliability in comparison to 172 low insurance i wouldnt get rid of mine its more fun than my 172 more rally sl*g feel and looks. The 172 is just quicker and more comfortable. The CUP i drove didnt have the same fun factor either.
Your joking im surprised they sell it for 12k
I would pay more, i get three years warrenty where if/when it breaks i take it back and at the end of that i buy a new one whats the problem.
However i dont take mine back for little minor stuff, mine rattles/buzzes there is a screw missing...
Mines not got a number :cry: Must be number 173 was owned by renault and i bought it minus the number door cills Its the last to be registered on 02 plate
Jeremy any plans for a 182 exclusive at the end of the production run, if not i suggest you bring it up at your next brain storming sesion if you get that sort of import, i for one wil defo buy one!
As long as it stuffs the CTRs time i will be happy!
Anyway what are you lot moaning about last episode was brilliant even though it lacked the 182, Denise was on it for f**k sake , i creamed my pants she would defo get it.
Bloody hell its a track car buy a focus if you want a quiet tick over!
some people would kill for a car that does 0-60 in around 6.5 secs, fit a k-tec exhaust you wont be able to hear it then.
