Get the CC, agree with KDF that in the last couple of weeks when ive used it more than ever, not really noticed any difference in the MPG. Also the quick clear windscreen function is fantastic.
Well suppose when your getting a focus RS then theres no comparison, but just suprised that people are changing them so quickly,. Its as if people have got bored. What toys do you get on cheaper cars??? I test drove a CTR and it had no extra toys than the cup and it was 15k!!!!!
Has anyone else notice or is just me, there seem to be tonnes of cups for sale often on 03 plates. Ive had my 172 since April and have no intentions of chnaging. There seems to so many people selling cups with little mileage on them. Wonder why this is..........???
Fair comment VivJ. I was talking from the insurance point of view. I understand the cost of life is completley different. I suppose when you do see things happen first hand it stays with you forever.
Not sure about the younger drivers bit. Being 21, Im bound to disagree;)
Viv a little harsh. At the end of the day an average rear end bump with a claim for whiplash will probabley be as much as the 8/9k that the insurance company will pay!!!
Gald ur ok. It is a reminder to us all. I havnt got protected no claims bonus if i were to do it some damage would probabley...
Looks cool. Wheels look supberb. I always wanted a williams, and if it wasnt for the number of miles i cover, id have ahd one above the 172. They are a classic renault.
Agree, you shouldnt have to pay!! My centre section and Cat has arrived at the dealer on Fri. Being fitted on Tue. Makes a change for renault to beat the eta. Gotta metion that Dutton James of St Helens have really kept the waiting to a minimum an kept me well informed.
I have got it but the centre sections has factured and wrecked the Cat. There are no cetres sections in the coutry at the mo so it will be a 4week wait!!!
GirlRacer this is torture and I dont know you really. I keep logging in to see whether you made a decision. I always think throught things and then end up going with my heart not my head.
Yo be fair the 1.2 16vs are very tappety, I had two brand new ones and they were both like this. I wouldnt worry. However, with the stalling, my first one had this, it was as if when you put the clutch down as you came to stop it would stall without warning. This was sorted with an ecu remap...
Yeah, You do always have to wait, especially thee 172. but that is renault uk. It makes a change to find a dealer who cares used them a few times, but have tried to take it to Arnold Clark as they supplied the car and am getting a bit p****d off with them. They said Id have to wait a week before...
No, it has had a bit of louder hum for a few weeks, but I was quiet liking the sound as it had a bitmore of a sporty tone, wasnt sure whether it was me being over sensitive. However, went down to stratford over the weekend, after 2hrs on the motorway the noise was getting louder amd rattle...
After all the bad episodes people have suffered i thought i would mention the visit I had to Dutton James St Helens. Over the weekend it became apparent that what I had thought was a dash rattle was actually an exhaust rattle. I rang the dealership this morining who said they would look at the...
Well the cars managed 13700 miles and the 4k rattle/vibration has started becoming noticeable. Ive now realised the rattle in the dash (so i thought) was actually the beginning of the problem.
The car is just over a yr old so I know i will have to make a contribution. Howmuch????
If I get a...
Agree that black is akward to clean, but black is nice. If I didnt have a black I would red. No regrets in getting a 172 and im sure you wont. I also promised myself I wouldnt mod it.
Apex, cup spiltter indicators and big plans ahead..........
