I thought I would see what people here think. I am going to buy a 172 this weekend. Do you think it is worth waiting for the 182 to come out? I am also going to buy a import has anyone got any experiences of this?
Any Help would be good

A garage has about 7 172s left they are all imports with same spec, and three year Renault warranty. All new, they anticipate getting the 182s in, in about 6 to 8 weeks. With this happening it could give some bargaining power with the 172.

Small changes under the skin.
Longer wheelbase, wider track, lighter, longer gearing in the upper gears.
New steering geometry etc.

anyway let me know what a/c u hold (pm me if ya like) and Ill find out
you can only buy if you bank with them and you dont get any discount for the account you hold as I have a Platinum and they wouldnt give me anything! They even told me which dealer it is coming from so its no different from ordering direct with the dealer but with a fantastic plrice!

Dave182.... u got the platinum brochure with u?? Cos Marks got the one for our a/c, and it says in there....
refund of one years platinium account fees worth £144 when you buy a car
Not sure on any small print... But check the platinum pack u got when u upgraded the account...
Found a place that is doing the 182 for £12,000 or £12,250 with the suspension upgrade. Delivery 1st March. I am thinking of waiting now, unless I can get a good deal on a 172. Thanks for all your opinions.

apart from the extra power and the fact that its the newer model, hasnt everyone realised by now that the 182 looks rubbish, the alloys look like cheap plastic trims, the stylings not as aggressive as the 172 and the exhausts!!! Well dont get me started!! V6 apart, the latest 172 was the best a clio was ever going to look!!!!
Admob - You cant really comment on the alloys until you have seen them in anthracite in the flesh, and not a photoshopped car!
The Styling is exactly the same as the 172 so how you can decide it isnt as agressive? In fact it is probably more agressive due to its wider and lower stance and the extra long Cup spoiler!
The Exhausts produce more power, save you having to add them without losing your warranty and are supposed to produce a much more throatier sound, that all sounds rather good to me, but I too may be bitter if I had just bought a nice new car and they replaced it within months with a better model! (Which is why I cancelled my 172 and ordered the nice new up-to-date 182)
Oh and then theres the nice new colours so that it doesnt look anything like the old car and give it a fresh new look.
Correct me if I am wrong? More and Newer car for same money?

we recieved the list option choice for the wheels we wanted our clios to come with, and there was a WHOLE host of good ones, loads of OZ choice and funny looky robotica Renault ones......wish you guys could of seen them, then youll see there are tons of better wheels....not that those are that bad or anything.
But were in a tiff with Ren at the moment, dozy CNUTs.......weve told them to piss off with their cars.
