I like em, but have to admit that they do get annoying sometimes.

27, but I was 19 when I had my Phase 1 16V. 8 years, jesus, I feel so old.:(

Ive got Phillips carin system, factory fitted, but the screen is not intergrated like the new 182, it sits on top of the centre console. I drive 50000 ks a year and maybe only use it once or twice a month, good on long trips and motorway journeys,but its worth its weight in gold in citys, but...

Are you wiring it into the stereo?, mines wired in so it mutes the radio when calling and comes through the car speakers as opposed to an external speaker.

Ive had mine since, the Start of march 2003, and its done a whopping 48,500kms. Thats on a par with the starship enterprise I think. :)

The dealer put mine in dude, It sits on the passenger side, low down,on the centre console, it can be in the way of passengers legs, and if you move it too far over your way, it can get in the way when your going for 5th ( I have an LHD car) Id go and have a friendly word with the local...

Dude, Id be honoured they think your car looks good enough to advertise their products. mail the link to everyone you know and start bragging :)

LMAO :D

Mines going well, especially with just a few litres of optimax in the tank, But Ive done 50,000 kms in 9 months.:o

I think if you keep searching it automatically switches from long to meduim wave and then back again, Im sure during the Rugby world cup, I was listening to 5 live on the way to Amsterdam.

It was worth it, best car Ive ever had IMO, and Ive had a few. But technically I didnt pay for it, the company did, which means I cant fiddle with it, and it has to stay Std, apart from the Chorley FM sticker in the back window:) On the plus side, I dont pay for servicing, fuel or tyres, so...

You guys back in the UK should think yourselves lucky, My 172 cost 27,000 Euros with Sat nav extra, in Febuary of last year, with the exchange rate back then it translates as 17,763 Pounds. A todays rate its a whopping 19,014 Quid. It might be cheap to buy a imported 172 from Europe, but its...

But in your rear view mirror, youd see him flashing his funky Xenon lamps at ya;)

I think itll be an easy slay, everything Ive heard is that it wont be that much quicker than a 172, due to it having stuff like cruise control whichll make it heavier.

I spend alot of time on the Autobahn, so Id have to say no, although if it was geared to 100, It should go like proverbial sh1t ofo a shiny shovel, so I might put up with it. Stick 10 inch wheels on as well, and it would be even better:D

Lack of Build quality gives a car character and soul, Every other company car at my company is a Golf, passat or A4, yet everyday, someone comes and asks if they can borrow mine for 5 minutes, and then come back with a big smile on their face. Compare it to women, do you want a reliable, always...

Your always going to have problems with light powerful FWD cars and wide tyres, Im more concerned with aquaplaning, frightens the crap out of you at 70-80 mph. The 172 is not that bad, the old Polo gti I had was horrendous, i magaged to spin it, coming off a german motorway, the two outside...

While were on the subject of lights, where abouts do you stick the tape/sticker on clio lights when driving in europe, or in my case coming back to the UK? Im sick to death of being flashed by everyone coming the other way, as Im blinding them :@ The annoyance is only relieved by hitting them...

I knew they came on on their own, just never found the Auto switch,, Left hand stalk then, Im guessing is where I switch it too Auto? LMAO at my own stupidity :D I kept meaning to check in the manual, but its in Dutch, and itll take me too long to work it out. Thanks

I dont think Ill ever have another car thats not got Xenons, My Old Polo Gti had them aswell miles better than Std lights, but you have to keep them clean , hard work with UK winter grime. P.S Exactly what is contained in the crap that covers Britains roads, I came back for two weeks at...

Tom, Whats the score with the Automatic lights on a 172? i cant say Ive ever figured out what they actually do.

Id be praying it gets out of middlesboro with its wheels if I were you:D

2000!!!! My god, Ive been out of the country too long:o Thank god I dont have to pay my own insurance anymore. My mate used to have a 172, hes now got a Pulsar Gti-R with 300+ HP he pays a stupidy low amount with some specialist insurer.

Count me in for some overseas support, although I only notice it during wheel spin.:)

I had a phase one just like that about 6 years ago, nice car.

Mines the same, only if I havnt been driving for a while, like everyone else, I think its rust, cause it goes away after 5 minutes. If youve worn the brake pads down at 17,500 miles, Well done!!:)
