Ive still got my Pug and took it out in the wet last night on the same route my 172 was so poor on. It absolutely pissed on the 172 even in the wet, I pushed it to understeer limits many times to see what my pug would do, as it should it understeered slightly but still gripped so I could still...

Yeah I had all the checks completed before making the purchase as at £9k it was a great price. The guy needed the cash quickly so I had him at a weak point, he originally wanted 10.5k. I was ultra cautious because he was desperate. I know what sh*te tyres can do to the handling but not to...

Yeah the extra grunt is aparant and well appreciated, the extra space and gadgets are also nice. If I could get the handling sorted Id be a happy man, but not until then! Ive booked a test drive in for Saturday to compare it against mine....Lets hope they can rectify the issue or its up for...

DannyBoy your right on paper a Clio has more grunt, you dont need me to tell me that but grunt doesnt always mean everything. You asked me a question you quite obviously knew the answer as to what are "vtss were like off the mark" as this comes down to purely grunt and power to weight ratio.

Yeah your right, Im trying to locate a dealer whos got a Mk2, they seem to be hard to get a test drive in......

Continentals...stock 172 ones at the correct pressure.....Need something a little more than stabs in the dark, Ive checked all the obvious areas. Surely some of you guys know more than this!!!!

Oh dear, of the mark is just childs play, at best your gonna trash your clutch. Yes youll beat it, but only marginally but one small gear change mistake and you wont. You bought your cup because its more of a track day car not a straight line bullet. If you wanted one of those get yourself a...

I dont believe theyve changed most of the 172s bit,s merely lightned it and a couple of teaks. I would give a lot of respect to VTS/106 GTIs if I were you, they are the best £4-5k you could possibly spend on a car. They are absolutely amazing fun for cost of ownership, I know, I had both for...

It sits perfectly on the road until I start pushing it round roundabout etc, if the trackin was at fault Id expect it to pull all the time. I was wondering if the suspension needs stiffening up....

I can appreciate it may take a while to adjust, but Ive had many "hot hatches" including 2 Saxo VTS, AX GT, 205 GTI ,106 GTI and have been able to jump into all of them, bar one of the VTSs (which had been fitted with budget Matador tyres on the back, unbelievable I know, I lost the back end on...

Ive just purchased a Mk2 172 (Feb 2002) after a couple of extremely satisfying years in my 106 GTI. I adored the 106 especially the handling, it never let me down, I just felt the car was quite literally stuck to the road. The running costs were also excellent, £400 a year insurance, £100 a year...
