Im not normally one for believeing hype especially when it comes from Renaults superb marketing department but if I was set on a 182 right now I would get the trophy......apart from I wouldnt get a trophy because Id wait for the 06 RS to come out.....

lol @ cruise cant be used in britan hehe, I use mine all the time its great, whats the point in having your foot stuck at a silly angle on the go pedal for miles and miles if you can have cruise on? as racing blue says you can adjust your speed "live" using the +/- controls, when you get used to...

I will probably never buy a brand new car again unles something amazing comes out, I bought a new 172 and worrying all the time about keeping it priostine did my head in as the slightest scuff was really stressfull lol I bought a 6 month old meg for 5 grand off list and its a minter, let...

if you can get the 172 do it cos youll always regret it if you dont!

should give no probs, they are pretty rock solid to say they get thrashed all the time, mine survived 2 hard years with no probs (apart from the usual knocks/rattles)

A similar thing happened to a guy in our village, they nicked wheels off his mondeo and laguna (both just normal spec cars really) they did both cars twice within a month and then did the mondeo again for luck about 2 months later. You can get thacham approved locking nuts and I reccomend the...

I would buy a 172 cup if I was in the market for one, ridiculous VFM if your wanting a bit newer/lower milage than the 182 but essentiall they are the same car

near glasshoughton ;)

yeah if the engine was ticking over at a non efficient rpm it wouldnt be good but Im sure on cars the 6th cog is set up for motorway use

well in my 225 its more ecanomical as you can get 35mpg if your carefull!

dudes you need to haggle more! I traded in an 03 plate 172 in may this year with 21k on the clock and got £8300 for it. It was a french import with 2 year warranty. I got a 225 again on import. They offered me 7 grand to start with but I was very hard and rude to them to get that price for it...

lol I remember that with my 172, if you did 90 it was bearable lol

I think hot hatches always change hands a lot, sometimes people buy them on impulse and maybe cant afford them, or get bored of them once the novelty wears off etc I think the impending model change might have something to do with it, it was one of the reasons I sold my 172 earlier this year

My old one! YE** SWX needs a wash sort it out! ;)

oh Ps the 225 does about 56 in 2nd from memory I know you have to change just before you hit 60, Id guess the 225 and new clio gearboxes might be similar or even the same unit

I would guess they have gone for shorter gearing to keep the 0-60 down as it pretty obvious it will weigh more even with more power a shorter ratio should help both the 0-60 and how it performs in the twisties pulling out of bends etc. I wouldnt sl*g 6 speeders just because its new and the...

hats off thats an amazing time for any car let alone FWD!

aaaaaaaahmen brother! I think these racing threads are irresponsible and should be deleted without delay!

mods?

yeah good plan, had a toy with an elise 135r today got up to about 100mph on public roads it was ace you cant beat racing on public roads, it brilliant, I reccomend everyone tries it

get on a track/road and race everything for yourself, have mates who have similar cars you can drive etc etc 182zero, your here all week yeah?

EVO is at the heart of a lot of this forums problems. Evo is an opinion its not the bible
