    You are right I won't, but only because I found something else I want more that does better mpg and is still epic and like these much cheapess to insure. ​Getting older is finally paying off!

    So the Range Rover wasnt a great buy but, this definately is :/

    I just worked out, that it would only be £120 a month more than the Clio cost to run last year. Though that's ignoring tyres, servicing and general Super car running costs of the thing. Problem is, I can't think if what else I would want that is anywhere near as cheap to insure, other than an...

    Oh f**k. I just got a quote on one of these for £580, which almost makes buying one justifiable as the difference in fuel costs to the 172 will be offset compared to last years insurance... Just about, maybe... 20k a mile in a year in one is suicide isn't it? Talk me out of it, please?

    Changing engines is cheating. Plus many in herein original engines surge higher mileage.

    Hi there, newbie with ideas!!

    Wheels need to be bright silver or anthracite, they are a bit naff as they are. Definitely leave BMW badges on.

    Buying a Clio to eat up motorway miles - 172 LPG vs DCi

    I've done Birmingham to Taunton and back in a day at least 12 times in the last year in my ph1, 3 or 4 times with no radio. They are fine for long motorway journeys and I'm a big wimp when it comes to long drives!

    Buying a Clio to eat up motorway miles - 172 LPG vs DCi

    No wouldn't fit one to a Clio myself, but if could find one that had I'd buy it. They do exist. Adam, agree to an extent, but its great to drive each end! For me for the last year there was not a better car out there. Will only change to something quicker and stuff ride.

    Buying a Clio to eat up motorway miles - 172 LPG vs DCi

    Danny, very few people who do big mileage but cars without considering economy. Plus lots of performance car owners run lpg. I've been looking at s4/s6's this morning with LPG. 40mpg equivalent vs 20mpg, why wouldn't you?

    172 exclusive. Exclusive because front ender?

    Lots of ph2 172s are registered as exclusives. Even a few ph1s that aren't exclusives are registered as them.

    My 172.......

    I'm a Lettings manager, I drive a loud ph1. Though I have to admit, professionally I do sometimes wish it was quieter. ​Who do you work for?
