Clio 172

[NickP]

Hi, just wondered if anyone could fill me in on what to expect from the Clio 172, Im picking up a 2002 one next week.



Previous cars have mainly been forced induction, 2 X TTs and a Seat Cupra....last normally aspirated car was a VR6 around 3 years ago.



Thanks in advance

Nick

Great fun. Not TT build quality but then it doesnt cost the earth, does it? Enjoy...

youll love embarressing more expensive cars or people who dont know about the 172 when you totally waste them in it

I used to have fun doing that in the Cupra was quite a change after the TTs other cars didnt seem to have a clue to its performance and usually ended up having egg on their faces.

hehe well let the games begin, a few peeps have had niggling problems with theirs but it tends to be little things like rattly trim/ seat rails and the old classic 4k buzz from the exhaust. ive had the airbag light come on and the exhaust buzz, both problems were sorted by my local dealer within 3 days and on the 1st visit and have had no other problems in over a year and 13k+ miles of ownership

The one Im getting is a 2002 model with 17k miles on it, so hopefully any teething problems should have been ironed out

I got it for a really good price, so wasnt too fussed on the colour.
