quick as f**k, fun to drive, looks quite aggressive, pisses people off when they get waisted by a "Clio":D
Down side is after owning a golf gti for a few years the build quality is crap but that doesnt make too much of a difference when you drive her

Anyone else had this problem. Put my 172 in for a service as it wasnt running as well as I thought it should do. Got it rolling roaded and was only putting out 166bhp, has a superchip and induction kit, was well shocked. It was taken to the local Renault dealer and they diagnosed a fault in the...
Was brand loyal to VW but then drove a 172 and bought one. The build quality no where near what I was used to but when you drive the 172 it cannot be beaten if you ask me. Also nearly had an RX7 but everyone I know with scoobys, skylines etc always break them and they spend half there lives in...
