Had a quick look round City Motors which is the main Renault Garage in Bristol and they have a 182 and a 172.

Do you think theyll let me test drive one if i act interested? Bearing in mind im 19.
 
  don't


dress fairly smartish :)

i just turned 20, look about 17

think i may take trip 2 renault in colchester and test drive a 172 or 182 aswel

seeing as they were reluctant 2 help me when i went in there last, waste their time back and have some fun i think

Would have thought so.

^^ oh yeh

they aint daft,

but I bet they wont even as if youve got a licence - bit worrying knowing how many knobs about!
 
  182, GTR, C63


I did. I was 17 and just acted interested in a 172. Managed to have a drive. Wernt very impressed really. Nice car though. Ended up with a cup a year later. They didnt even ask for my driving license and id only passed 2 weeks b4 i drove the 2.0 clio. Scared the guy with my ridiculous wheelspin out of every junction. Get it thrashed!!!!
 
  car? need a license 1st!


ooo ive been thinking about going to test drive a 182. Now ive got confirmation of them probably letting me, i think ill take a trip to my nearest dealer 2morro after college..

Im 18, but i look about 25/26 :eek:

yipeee, i cant wait hahahah.
 
  ex Clio 172 owner :(


I got a test drive of a brand new Cup no probs and it was right at the back of the compound. I just acted interested, dropped a few facts and stuff about Clios to show I know what Im talking about and said, any chance of taking it out?

Was in it 20 minutes later for a 15 minutes drive - with the guy of course.

Worst bit is getting to walk away. I wasnt serious about buying one, but I think he thought I was and twisted and twisted my arm but I took his card and politely declined the next day. I should have bought it though, always wanted a brand new sport Clio. Wont be able to afford a 182 and the Cup was my only chance. Never mind.
Im 28 by the way and went with my lass.
 
  Anything from the fleet


It just depends on what garage you go to. I went into one locally and the guy TOLD me i couldnt afford the insurance and led me towards a 1.2 Dynamique! I called a few other places and found one and they let me drive it (182).

Good luck and dont rip it too early or theyll make you go back to the dealers!

Went with my lass to the dealer and they let us take it for a test drive, think my bird scared the fuk out off the salesman LOL. He was o.k. and didnt push for a sale afterwards either, probably needed the toilet!!!
