the brakes just dont seem that immense imo, but do the job, still want brembos for mine, which i think shall be on the to do list
least there is a 100bhp diesel edde, but i think they should tune up the 140bhp megane motor and get that in the next clio, no gay electric blue floating yaris...
the xenons/ square grill on the front are pretty guid to get folk oot the way, tho not everyone will notice that or may even just think thats the way its meant to look!!
id like to see the red/yellow/blue stripes appear on the front in a small badge gets my vote
wonder how easy it is to get...
have had my 172 for 15months, do love it but as with everything there could be improvements, id be interested to hear what folk would want so if any marketing guys for renault out there read this hows about for the next clio:-
better build quality (pleeeeeeeeese)
6 speed box
better brakes...
cup has the better handling but i felt it was a bit too easy to get carried away in it when i test drove one yesterday. Liked it, different to my full fat one, but i think the susp in mine is bad/poor i get alot of rumbles from pot holes, need to get her checked out
not bad, depends on your area, some bits are well dear for 182s id say you might have wanted to have shopped around for a while and got a few more deals prior to commiting to that one, still it may have involved more hassle than its worth.
Not many folk get titanium (from this site anyway) so...

is best
manney:- it was number 94
dubster: - i agree it is dear, but cos it was a special edition it has made the choice harder (see below comments tho)
xzibit - puma i felt was slower once i was at 50-70 in gears and such like it does have VVC but wasnt as sharp as my 172, also rear visibility is...

see what i mean about prices!! sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh. pity as its too short notice for me, anyway a quick...
totally think its a 750 premium for those extras its the whole limited thing that gets me and as i plan to have it for at least 2 years it could be sometjing i wont lose wads of dosh on come trade in
will have cup test drive at weekend and see if the lure of an 02 plater with slightly...
have considered that myself, but im thinking limited run of 172 (prob a few less due to write offs) and ok the seats needed some tender care to get back imo to there best but it does like smart inside i feel and a little bit stealth from the outside as the green/ bbs 16s and smallish 2.0 badge...
hmmmmmmmmm interesting i have to say, all i felt i missed was some of the toys such as the cruise control and air con. Didnt really miss the climate control as it can be a pain in the erse when set on auto (minor gripe)
I just dont know if the y reg excl is a guid choice given the reluctance...
had the test drive yesterday and compared to my mk2 it feels slightly quicker but this may be down to more miles and loosened up more. Car was slightly better handling but felt the excl slipped more than mine when i tackled a roundabout aggressively to see how sharp it was. Think it may be one...
try this in the interim

iv got a 53 plater mk2 and i dont think the build is that great, but a few probs here and there such as:-
ratlly dash parts (common if you read the forum)
poorish brakes (upgrade to better yins)
35mpg if you dont whore it, 25 if you batter it often
£200-£300 for a service easy...
iv had this as well and had the rear pads changed and it was fine for a week then awful again, think there is a problem, arnold clark of course couldnt find it
ronin v6 has footage of the cover off

change 04 for 03, 02 and 01 for the different vids(y)
bass!!!!!!!!!!! they seem to be in 7-8k bracket and i really fancy one as a second car for the missus to see how it compares to my mk2. Mileage/ condition has to be mint as i want to keep it for a while and hope it becomes very unique.
