You need to try a 172/182. After that all your questions will be answered, just watch out for the torque steer on the buggers

Totally agree.

Say to the salesman " If can drive down my favourite stretch of road quicker in this 182 than I could in my Focus, then Ill buy it"

Then get your cheque book out....

AS STATED EARLIER MY 172 HATES FUEL!!!, the sevicing was done at a local place, all official etc. by the way 80 quid to change oil etc is still a rip-off, you guys are just brainwashed intothinking that reno prices are acceptable!

Ive been really happy with fuel eco on my 172. Only had it about 6 weeks, but it averages around 37. Mainly crusing to work and back, but doesnt frop much when you have a bit of fun!!



I had a 206GTi before. Not as fast, not as much fun, more expensive to run.....
