the 95 rom petorl is the problem, mine runs sh*te on it, better on 98, but optimax is the b****cks ! YOU WILL FEEL THE DIFFERENCE ! :D

I guess its all relative really as the 172 was never developed as a long distance tourer.

Because im 6f 2 and drive long distances at the weekends. An example being a recent return trip to Bordeaux, belive me, If I have been in the clio theres no way I could have walked after 7hrs and 500+ miles driving. However i do agree that its nice for a blast to Sainsburys to get the shopping.

Must admit that after 6 months and 7k I have already bought an extra car, because I find the 172 rather inpractical and uncomfatble for long distance driving. The replacement - a 406 3.0 v6 Coupe ! I belive for the money that its one of the best looking cars around, plus the 24v V6 sounds...

135 in 172 150 in 406 coupe

Your right there, the Astra coupe is a nasty looking car that took me by surprise, it was only as traffic slowed us down that I saw the Turbo badge ! you will kill it on the bends thou ;)

BenR - Totally agree with the XR2 ! I have a mk3 xr3i too, but dont tell anyone on here !

pap, complete pap. I come here for constructive information and all I ever here is the cups better than the 172, the mk1 is better than the mk2, the mk2 is better than the mk1. Does nobody realise we all "clio" enthusiasts and that we should really be slating those rusty Fords or Vauxhalls ...

lost for words ?

Yep , ok then.

from a standing start my 172 is quicker than my friends vr6 highline throught the grears. Not much in it after 100 thou.

Turn on the ignition but dont startup. Turn on/off the headlights twice. Should get an acknowledgement beep. Turn off ignition then startup as normal then hey presto your blue thingies should bust into life (if below the light threshold) . Disabling is the same proceedure. there you go...
