Id rejest it if it had more than 20 or 30 miles on, no doubt some of the staff at renno will have a blast in it before you get it. Ive seen Vauxhalls staff in leeds blasting up and down in a new astra GSI, naughty boys
all sporty cars are difficult to sell. The assumption is that there all thrashed so people prefer to buy new. Its not just renaults although 182s look to be as bad as 172 for depreciation
lets face it they are all ten a penny these days. I would personally go for a 2nd hand 172 mk2 if I was in the market for a car right now, they are cheaper to buy (because some mug like me who bought one new has taken the big hit on the depreciation) Youll loose less in £ if you buy the honda...
Ive done 1/4 miling in near identical conditions, once on optimax and then on 95 ron, got exactly the same times. Im under no illusion that the car feels different with it in. As a matter of fact I put some optimax in today by accident (drove up to pump where they were out of 95 ron) so I...
Mugs the lot of ya, I use almost exclusively asdas finest 95 ron, get the same 1/4 mile time with that as I do with optimax. I think its one of the biggest trades descriptions cases ever waiting to happen. 98 RON does NOTHING.
For all the figure quoting and stuff (yawn) 172 are quicker than zr160s, simple fact. One of my neighbours has one, thay are decently quick no denying that but 172 is quicker through all gears and you can throw it into corners "frighteningly quicker" this is what my m8 said when he was in the...
I spotted some paint runs on my 172 when it was two weeks old, went to renno and was told there was nothing they could do because I hadnt spotted them in time and they could be dodgy repairs for all they know. Just one of the many reasons Ill never buy another renault.
I noticed a smell of windscreen fluid today on the 172 that was whilst taking a roundabout at 40mph so I think that might have been something to do with it
If you buy a V6 you will be a driving god amongst mere mortal drivers like the rest of us.
If you buy an N reg merc youll look like a pikey who bought an N reg Merc.
Traffic cops always increase their presence in an an area following a fatal accident, there was one just outside micklefield on the A1 a week or so ago, on wednesday this week they had a van there with 3 (three!) marked cars pulling people. Basically take it easy in know accident blackspots or...
