I have mates with FRS that have paid 20 k have problems from a new car so these arent that bad...
I love my little 172, only 300 miles on it and still waiting for the squeeks.
Sorry, I didnt mean it to sound like a dig, I was just saying that I looked at these areas when buying the car, I would have thought the 172 vs the CTR are around the same figures as the power to weight thing?
Also you have to agree paying 15/16k for a CTR is not to bad but when you have to...
Hi sorry to be a pain,
There was a post on here before about what changers you can get for the 172 as well aqs the links to the sites. I have done a search but I cant see it!...
Also is it worth replacing the whole CD headunit or just keep the standard one and add a changer.?
Thanks...
Well when I sold the LCR last month really the only cars that I wanted that wouldnt cost the earth was a second hand CTR or the Clio.
Thanks to my little brother buying his first, I really had a chance to push it and to see if I could live with it.
The CTR isnt really a bad car in anyway, I...
I have to say I think the 172 is wicked on the petrol, I get £30 - 300 miles, and thats mixed drving.
In my old Focus that was a 2.0 out of £40 quid :o I would be lucky to see the best part of 220 miles from a tank, even on a long trip 250 was like.... WOW...;)
I have had both a LCR and have a 172, I have also driven the CTR..
Here is my 2ps worth.
The LCR is brilliant you HAVE TO CHIP it and its the fastest thing under 18k, if you are looking to get one get the older 210 version its the same power when chipped (270blp/307lbs ft). I love...
Thanks for the link, that helps a lot.
I have a mate that is manager of one of the biggest internet car audio centres in the uk so I am going to hit him for a discount, also he does CAT 2-1 alarms for the car ;)
Like I said thanks guys!.
Honestly mate you havent mad a bad choice, I know people say the 182 will hold its value better but to be honest its luck of the draw when it comes to the buyers.
I dont mind as I know it will lose money but at 10,999 I can sell it cheaper than a 182 and it will go just as quick.
Enjoy.
Hello mate,
I had the car after 3 Days of picking up the phone and buying it!.
I was very impressed, and I like you didnt wait for the 182, I think I can live with out the extras the 182 has.;)
I think the finance works out at 12.9 thats around £253 per month with a £500 Deposit
They...
I have to wait that long ??...lol
Its lovely, I really love the Kick of the vvt you can really notice it (In my brothers 172)
As for motorpoint I am very impressed with the service and the price and the product!...
I hope to see you all soon at a meet
Oh and one final thing, the little...
Thanks for that ;) Yep mine is the Clean one, the others is my brother ...
It was a nice surprise to see the extras on there when you never expect them.
I know you are ment to "run them in" but I have been good and havent taken it over 5k revs... and the BMW 318i was a bit miffed when I...
Ops... yep its was a 172... got it for £10,995 with mats and cargo net..FREE Cruise and ESP on it :)
I was going to wait for the 182, but I am not a lover of the rear on the 182 with the twin pipes.
I am more than happy with the 172 ...:devilish:

Just got back from Motorpoint in Derby!, WOW I am so so impressed with the car, I was also impressed with MP as they had a black scooby new WRX for 16k!
Anyway, Drove 200 miles back home to east London and I was really impressed with the drive, no back pains I felt fresh and still had that...
Hi,
I noticed on the main site in the gallery section there are a few cars with BMC filters on them.
I was wondering... How much are they, and where do I get one from?
Thanks
Ronnie.
(Cant wait getting a new 172 today)
I had the same problem, the **** dont ring you back, Oh how it reminds me of the Ford dealers!...
Anyway I have bought one from Motorpoint, I 1st class service and I am getting the little beast tomorrow!... Cant wait.
Hello... all!
I just wanted to say hello, and what a great site.
I have just sold my Black Leon Cupra R for a nice profit! and need to get a cheaper car to run and own, also to save me from getting any more points (270bhp might have had something to do with it?).
I have just bought a Clio...
Gav, I have just bought one from there at £10,995 its a deal...
I know the 182 is out but IMO I dont like the back of it. For that price on a new car is a bargin, all cars lose money you just have to buy a cheap one.
I was looking for cars around 10k and that is "the best" value for money...
He got it!....
My little brother has just bought :
172, Silver, 14,000 miles, 1 owner, £9,500
Its a lovely car, I have picked up brand new cars from dealers and they havent been in good nick as one of these.
I am sure he will be on here soon :D
After comming from an Focus RS to this he...
