I dont have a 172 but a new clio extreme. The fitting of interior is really good (really blows pugs and citroens out of the water), but still there are some creaks and rattles. Generally i wouldnt worry about the mechanicals, were passed the days of unreliable engines in quantity. Just dont...
No..though im sure you knew i was going to say that. I dont hate them, in fact theyre pretty good, theres just better cars for the money, in my opinion.
Im 17, on road experience 7 months. Ive been racing for 5 years though, including van diemen single seaters, so id like to think i know my stuff when it comes to car control.
I agree that its the other people and road conditions which are the main problem but theres no excusing the fact that...
Unfortunately i dont get the silver spoon treatment! Anyway it will be going soon :(, were not rich, my dads just made a lot of compromises to afford it, as he lives for astons, but running it as a company car means tax costs are something like 5k a month. Though hes got an M3 now which isnt...

Steve whyd you say that? Are you presuming that a big power RWD is better? Ive too never driven a 200sx, but i have driven supras and the 172 is so much better i couldnt begin how to compare. Remember FWD has come along way. Power isnt everything..
Id agree, the williams is the most complete hot hatch ever in driving terms (205 incl). Though times have moved on and as an overall package the 172/cup are better, easily.
