Did you win the lottery? The insurance must be more than the cars mentioned..

36, mildly modified Iceberg ph2 172 run-about. Used to have a less than perfect 172 Cup. Prefer the 172.

Still hate the driving position but love the driving dynamics of these cars.

My insurance fully comp is £1300. I think thats pretty damn good lol !!

 

[Alex_225]

21. Can't imagine driving one as a daily above the age of 30 tbh.

Just saw that comment and made me laugh. Why would you not consider one as a daily? Nothing happens in your brain between the age of 21 and 30 that makes you go, 'I need a sensible diesel estate car'!! haha

I had my 172 when I was 21 and it was a superb all rounder, great as young lads car. I ended up with one again at 30 and I use it as a daily car, suits my needs perfectly. It just so happens I have two other RenaultSport cars sitting at home as well.

I'm sure, as I did, a lot of younger drivers on here probably think, 'By the time I'm 30 I'll be in an M3/911/RS4 etc'. Then as you get older you start to realise where cars like the RS Clios slot into life nicely. Fast, fun and reasonable to run alongside paying mortgages and all the other sh!t that life costs you haha.

 

[Chrisgti6]

I'm 30 (well I will be tomorrow) and I have an R27.

I was 21 before I had a proper hot hatch, I got my Punto GT and Golf VR6 a week after my 21st birthday. I used to pay about £1,100 to isure both.

It amazes me when you see 18 year olds in 1*2's. The insurance must be higher than the value of the car! Unless they are doing it as a named driver on mummy and daddys policy of course......

Progressing my way up the clio tally gradually

 

[Ceri_luke]

Im 25 but There's a chap in his 50's near me that owns a 182 with a yozza system. Funny enough it was my mates old car that he bought from a garage. Never seen him boot it though lol always driving very carefully

 

[Pulsator]

Who you insured with just out of interest

 

[182tev]

Who you insured with just out of interest

Admiral. They were always the cheapest for me. I did a quote yesterday tho and they dont even give one anymore... Bit wierd !!

 

[Gibbo4k]

im 33 and just looking for my first clio wanting a 182.. only had a go in one for the first time last night was quite nippy.. ive seen a lot hammering around tracks and always fancied one and love to tinker so will keep me busy i think.. hoping for different styles of tinkering from the fords ive previously been into..(rust treating)..

 

[JonC219]

21 with a 182 cup, and just renewed insurance

Killer...

 

[Andrew_P]

36 and running my Ph2 172 as my daily drive/runabout. Wish I'd bought one years ago! I also love the fact it's easy to work on it myself.

 

[Matt W]

Had my 172 cup at 19, luckily the insurance was only around £1100!

 

[Keyser Soze]

I thought I was ancient at 33 owning a 172 so it's good to see there's a good range of ages here.

I wounldnt say an RS clio is a 'tinker' type of car in the way Fords are, just fast and lots of fun

well my plans are to tinker with the one i get.. nothing really engine wise but handling mods and nice and clean under the bonnetand maybe do the underside..
its not going to be an everyday car anyway so being off the road a bit is no problem.. the cossie i just sold did 9k miles in 10 years so this one will not end up like that..
ive only been in one clio 182 and was quite nippy but i really like the look of them.. plus the aircon will be nice if we have a summer next year..

 

[182_Adam]

182 --> 22.

 

[YZFR1]

33 and i got my monaco 172 a few months ago, nippy enough motor for the daily comute to work and affordable along side my family diesel mondeo and my weekend toy.( yamaha R1) oh and my mortgage!
Glad to see there are plenty of other rs owners around the same age!
