After 4 years of trouble free and treble entertaining motoring, the 172 has now gone :-(
In its place is a sparkling megane 225 in arctic blue. I have now covered a whole 8 miles, and first impressions are that the thing seems a lot better put together. In terms of power, its amazingly linear in delivery, but the fecking thing is so quiet you think you are going a lot slower than you are.
Completed my first overtake in 6th gear. The way the thing approaches the back of other cars when you decide to overtake is scary. Nearly piled into the back of the fiesta I was overtaking!
I think it fulfills what I need - wanted a decent motorway cruiser as I do loads of busines miles with the ability to have a decent A road blast. So far so good!
