LOL, they are both great cars mate, with the Cup being quicker and better handling, the 172 having A/C etc...Like I said before....horses for courses

Id lightly modify mine and be faster than you if I could be arsed ( and could take the hit on trade in value ). My Dad is bigger than you Dad!!!! ;)

You are spot on mate, personal preference is what its all about. Yours is creature comforts, mine is performance. Horses for courses.

I have to ask the same question. You will still be in the same poorly built ratlling, creaky interior and dashboard. The A/C would be nice but half leather in a Clio makes no difference whatsoever. Oh and you would be in a slower car. If are gonna change look at a LCR or a CTR. Going to a...

This looks like the same colour you can get the new Megane in. Very similar to Mondial blue but not quite as bright

I can recommend the Turtle Wax chip stick. As long as there is no dent and its only small chippings fill it in with this stuff and you will never know its there.

Mine was saying -0 C today....ehh????

My Cup has comparative instant pick up and feels really sharp when I put my foot down. Quite different from my 306 Rallye that only seemed to come alive when it hit 4 - 5000 rev power band, though the stats for the 306 Rallye are still impressive ( 0 - 60 in 6.9 seconds compared to 6.5 with the...

I know Benfield Renault in Newcastle wouldnt let young test pilots take out the Clio V6 they had earlier in the year. Understandable really.

Check it includes a replacement air filter as Reg Vardys told me it wasnt neccessary in the 12k service, the service book says otherwise.

My cup is 14 months old with 12k on the clock. No problems whatsoever apart from dashboard rattles but every car Ive ever owned has had this. Just turn up the stereo and plant your right boot and you never notice them. Will be be keeping mine for another 12 months.

Rag your engine from day one mate. Let the guy who has your car in 5 yrs time pick up all the bills.. I say enjoy it from the start!!!

Unlucky mate. I now only go to supermarkets where I know I can park without any other cars next to me. I park miles out of the way of anyone at work if it means Ive got no cars either side of me, even if its pi$$ing it down. Ive had too many dents over the years and am a bit paranoid, but...

Rag it from day 1 mate. Itll be the poor f**ker who buys the car in 5 years time wholl have the problems, not you. Enjoy your motor!!!!

CHOMP!!!!!;)

Buy this weeks Auto Express....its on the cover. Renault are taking after Peugeot and building mini MPVs

Paxos everywhere in the north east! Usually driven by a spotty, burberry clad gimp.

New Clio in this weeks Autoexpress. Looks pants to me....mini Megane /Mpv/ Bread van effort. Check it out http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/ Not due out till 2005 so still over a year for current Clio owners to sell up before residuals plummet.

£15,000 is way out of the Burberry hat boys league. You could buy a 2 yr old VX220 for that sort of cash.

Just like aircon and alcantara seats ;)

Lol...the art of sarcasm is still alive!

Folks, one of the bolts holding the side skirts on my 172 Cup has worked itself loose and I need to take the bolt out and the re-tighten it. Trouble is the bolt seems to have a hole for a triangular shape tool / screw driver to loose and tighten it up. Anyone know where I can get one of these??

My gearbox clunks when selecting first. A bit like the clunk you get when snicking into first gear on a motorbike. Nowt to worry about I wouldnt have thought.

You cant sell your car privately on finance until youve paid it off because itll be on the HPi register. In effect, the finance company own the car till youve paid it off.

But thats on used cars. You are buying new cars from Renault UK, used cars you are buying off the dealer using his finance. Renault UK have you over a barrell and will only let you use Renault finance to buy a new car with. If the dealer has pre-registered the car it is technically second-hand...

I stand to be corrected. :) Its not a pre-registered one is it??

You cant haggle APR on new cars as it is with Renault Finance, the APRs are fixed. Its only on used motors where the garage uses their own finance company is there any room to play with APRs

All cars run slower in this hot humid weather mate. The Elise could have been a 111s or something.
