Are you happy with your car?

[lbrench]

on here somewhere, i had 2 hours sleep last night so the chances of me going through my facebook trying to find the pictures are extremely slim.

 

[Reyes]

No. I can't drive it.

 

[ch!ppen]

Yes... It's fun. Does everything i want it to and is cheap to run compared to other similar car's imo. (ie. not paying scene tax on Honda's etc.)

Although i don't think i have the same spark with it like i did my Saxo.

 

[.Kev.]

Was bored of our Mini, until we got her tuned up.

250 horses soon changed that though.

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Yes and no. Getting bored of the power now and it annoys me that there are no cheap ways to extract more power from these engines handling wise it's a hoon after I fitted new 172 cup shocks and sportline springs.

I love my phase 2 172, its not worth anything to anyone else but me, so it'll be staying with me reguardless, even if i get a newer car!! One of my favorites i've ever had, and i've had a few cars!!

 

[bunzee]

No. Although I can't really put my finger on why. It's broken in a mild way several times which has been annoying but always still been able to use it, had a bit of a surprise when I discovered that the dephaser was the culprit for all the noise and it's booked in to have that sorted next month, but I know cars do break and that's part of ownership so I should take it in my stride but... I just don't love the car like I expected to when I bought it a year ago.

That's exactly how I feel, i'll never get rid of mine unless the engine blows up, but even then i'd either replace the engine
or just get another 1*2 and then do the same mods.

I f*cking love it, it's just such a laugh to drive.

 

[turbo tom]

great little car £ to performance/driving pleasure, especially as its been a little neglected.

 

[Clio RS 172]

I love my RS 172 phase2:race: best hot hatch in the world. " It's impossible to go faster than this for less"

 

[Pedro]

Ive just bought an S2000 and after putting off selling the clio all this time, i think its the S2000 thats going to go. :/

 

[brisa4984]

I'm happy. The meggy still gives me a rush with cornering speeds But I would be so much happier with this

[Begbie]

Yep Apart from the wheels, but she is still new to me and the wheels will be sorted over winter along with new shocks and springs!

 

[Porkie]

You really have all those cars?

Yes. I track them all reguarly as well.

My fav 4 track ones are these. Clio is absolutely amazing and I LOVE it. Even it this company its a stunning drive. Had my 4 favs out at bedford few weeks back. Was alot of fun... even in the late afternoon when it rained!

 

[ch!ppen]

^ Lucky, lucky man.

 

[Adam_vxR]

im looking to buy one now (182), but having trouble finding one in my budget i like but il soon let you know had my saxo vts for nearly 4 years and really did love that car :butt: apart from the amount off times things broke onit :quiet:

 

[rosco454]

A lot happier now ive swapped the dogbone bushes to powerflex and the exhaust has stopped headbutting the life out of the subframe!

Cheers Ross.

Maximum Baller.

 

[Chili Red]

Every day he opens the garage door...

 

[Munson]

A blue square?

 

[Chili Red]

I don't see a blue square.

 

[Munson]

Ok a red 'x' for you.

 

[Fletcher]

I also see a blue square.

 

[Chili Red]

Does it work now?

 

[Revels]

Maybe try PM'ing it to yourself to check?

 

[Fletcher]

Does it work now?

Yep.

 

[domjolly]

No the engine is making a stupid noise so can't drive it and no idea what's wrong, also declared sorn so have to save the pennies to hire a trailer to get it somewhere to sort it. so now paying insuance on a rather large French paper weight. So no I'm not happy with it lol

 

[Chili Red]

[Italian_Job]

ive had mine for almost 1 year now, I simply love it but I'm honestly starting to feel the need for something faster :race:

 

[Knuckles]

I hate it then I love it and repeat very frequently, I'm very happy with it at the moment

 

[Dan]

I love it and really cant seem to find the same buzz in anything around the same price but when it breaks it's truly gutting but I just can't wait to get it up and running again to get the buzz back

 

[Matt W]

I love my bmw, but the gear knob is faded. If only there was a company that sold gear knob refurb kits.

 

[Rowan - Mortgage Expert]

No...then again I do own an escort at the moment!

 

[Polish86]

I do love my 197 but will need a new cam belt next year and It's expensive! Thinking of upgrading to a 200, Storm Grey with black roof and alloys

 

[smallbaws]

I love my 182 best car i have ever owned

 

[DanDare]

I'm generally happy with my ph1, good blend of everyday usability/practicality/economy(40-41mpg longterm av) along with a touch of hooliganism.

A couple of niggles, a) it seriously lacks in gear acceleration given it's a small 2.0 hatch, b) everything is starting to rattle with age (much like myself, lol) & c) i do find the feel through the steering lacking ie, my wifes Puma has better feedback/weight to it without doubt.

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

Am i pleased with my P reg 1.6 escort estate?? does the pope sh*t in the woods? The worst thing about it is having to lock it and walk away

 

[wozza182]

my 182 Cup is idling really lumpy and feels like it lost some power. Its going in for a service and having some coilovers fitted soon so hopefully I will be happy again if the problem can be fixed.
Also needs some minor dents removed and the wheels refurbed but apart from that, smashing!!

 

[ScarySquirrel]

Yes, I love my car. Things I don't like:

- Melted steering wheel
- Needs spacers, but find it all too confusing
- Needs a machine polish
- Headlights need a proper machine polish
- Needs wheel alignment done again
