172 boot space

[mukkyman]

I have searching for a new car to replace my 1.2 16v expression, i've been looking at mk2 172 and 182. My question is because the cars dont have a spare wheel to save wieght has that made the boot any deeper compared to my car?

cheers

hi mate. I do know that even very late mk 2 172's have spare wheels because i have one in mine, but i doubt the boot will be any bigger in the 182. Surely just the same without the spare wheel space.I might be totally wrong. Can anyone confirm what am saying is true?

182 boot is the same size there is just no well, if you want space buy a mondeo

Lol, harsh but true...

My 172 has a spare alloy

The boot is the same size as the 1.2, so crap, but usually enough space for most needs, I can squeeze in the golf clubs!

What holds the boot carpet up in a Cup? They have a wheel well but no spare.... always wondered that. lol.

mk2 172's will have the spare wheel well. Take the spare out & the carpet & the wife can fit at least 8 more bags of shopping in the boot!!!

I always wondered if the 172 cups had a spare wheel.

^ They don't as standard; just the cans.

 

[Lagerlout]

I know that.

What I want to know is there anything that sits in the space to support the boot carpet?

 

[mukkyman]

No its not that I need the space i was just woundering what renault did with the space

On the 182... they put an exhaust where the space used to be.

The clues are there.

Only the car kit thing (whatever the technical word is).

But that sits lower so there is a bit of sag on some peoples.
