Money. Failing that, magic beans :clown: Umm... about £2k?

Quite easily. It's just a supermini, a shopping trolley with a 2.0l engine in and different suspension. In no way can it be considered a 'sporty' car. Scoobys and evo I'd class as sporty as they have 4wd, big BHP etc, things the clio doesn't have. Some people on here really do think highly...

I thought the police (or some organisation working with the police anyway) could test your car's omissions at the side of the road? To check to see if you have a CAT. Failure could result in a £1,000 fine? Oh, as for insurance covering de-cats.... I would have thought no ins. company would...

The clio is a supermini with a (for it's class) big engine in, so it's a fairly hot hatch. It's not sporty and certainly cannot be classed as a 'sports car' imo.

Good read that. I'm test driving a 197 tomorrow, see how it compares to the original 172.

A 172 at 17 eh? You must be loaded. I didn't get my first car until I was 20! And that was a fiesta which had rust on it. Although now I'm an old man and 172 insurance is about £500. £1,300 at 17? Just wait until you come to the UK!

Haha, good to see other people got that email too. I've booked a 197 test drive for next Monday. Good to see how it compares to my 172.

Crapit! My best 0-60 is 0.14 seconds, grrrrr. You've beaten me! And before anyone asks, no, I don't have any solid proof of my 0.14 sec run whatsoever, but I did it!! You can ask any of the 4 passengers which were in my car at the time. :dapprove:

My 36k service was free :)

1bhp per wheel! Although I thought the spare in the boot added 3bhp? Since it's working so hard back there, idling and weighing the car down :clown:

Ha ha. Wonder why :rolleyes:

Faster than something like a 106 gti/saxo vts? How would your 1.5 TURBO diesel compare against something similar like a Mitsi colt 1.5 turbo petrol? Diesel owners keep forgetting their cars have turbos! And compare them to n/a petrols. Arggh.

On a recent 300 mile round trip, I averaged 42mpg. Mostly involved driving at 85-95mph on the motorway and sitting in a couple of traffic jams.

Asbo effect? :S Has it been upsetting locals with loud music and petty vandalism?

Not really, the 172/182 had 200nm and weighed a fair bit less! Hardly the most torquey of beasts :dapprove:

Whatever petrol you like. People here reckon v-power has advantages over regular, might try it for a few tanks when I can afford it! Just don't put diesel in it :clown:

I can't remember the last time I used super unleaded in my clio. Car runs sweet. Cheapo regular all the way :approve:

That's what happens with my 172. Very noticeable indeed :approve:

Mine did this a few months ago, squealing when turning right, feared that something was very wrong :eek: Turned out that it was the brakes pads, changed them and the noise went, turns out the pads were shagged. The squealing will get worse and worse until braking at any speeds sounds like a...

This happened months ago. Any update news about what has happened? Anyone caught? Punished?

Lotto ticket! Gotta be in it to win it! :clown:

I'm amazed by how much people want/need air con :eek: I never use my air con, windows down does the job just fine :D Old skool stylieeeee :clown:

No leaks here either.

I changed my cambelt when it was 5 years old, car had only done 45k miles. The belt was still in very good condition when it was removed. Choice is yours, but should be fine, your milage isn't high enough to cause concern.

Yo!

Fake a robbery, insurance scam, sorted :approve: :clown:

Skoda wish the fabia was so lightweight!

197 cup?? :S

Look 10 posts above yours, he says why.

1021kg :) Do cups have cans of tyre spray stuff instead of a spare like the 182s?
