[Shotgunsjay]

as a courtesy car as renault have ordered the bloomin wrong aux belt for my car, ah well can have a lil play in the gt,

what they like? lol

 

[-Leigh-]

They're ok.

Nothing special, but go ok and quite good on fuel.

 

[Shotgunsjay]

they 1.2 turbo's? lol

just had a look on google, 0-60 in 9.8 is pretty mint for a 1.2

 

[-Leigh-]

They about as quick as a 1.4/1.6

 

[Shotgunsjay]

[Russ.]

They are rubbish.
I tested 1 a few months back..horrid cars. Lets hope the rs version is better

I was looking into one. briefy, very briefly.

Test drove the 1.2 TCE in the clio then reaised that i'd be much much better off with a derv than a 1.2 turbo in terms of speed, fuel and insurance and tax costs.

Petrols in anything other than a sports model i.e.197, M3, ferarri etc are pointless ,don't think i'd even consider once anymore.

Although knowing me i'll end up buying a 1.6 or something

But i realy like the pull of a diesel between 2 and 3K give a very good push

 

[Bluebeard]

They are s**t.

Exterior looks like a cartoon car. Interior is covered in plastic s**t and the park bench seats are comical.

Avoid.

 

[Shotgunsjay]

picked my beaut back up today, what a difference

 

[clairemae]

They gave me one as a courtesy car and i really enjoyed it, pretty nippy and fun to drive !

 

[-Leigh-]

They're not s**t as Dan put.

For the price they are quite good (for girls obviously) and pretty nippy. My missus loves hers. I think it's quite nice to drive, but only in the dark so nobody can see me.

 

[daydotz]

driven one short distence it feels so cheap i cant see an rs doing much to change it

 

[Alastair.]

quite noisy and not refined but the lil 1.2 t is very very nippy and good fun 2 drive

All Renaults feel cheap. My 182 feels cheap. Cos all Renaults are cheap lol.

For the price??? They are expensive compared to the cars in the sector. (aygo, Ka, C1 etc)

And the cable change gearbox is good is it? Nope.

I stand firm. They are s**t.

 

[Ian_182]

Looks like it was designed by tetra-pak

 

[-Leigh-]

Well I think they're alright for a female car.

 

[Ady182]

My folks have one for a ni round town sort of car, I like it

i loved the twingo gt i had for a day when my 182 was in for warrenty work!! i was very shocked at how fast it was, shame it looks poo or id seriously consider getting one!

Well I think they're alright for a female car.

Not sure many females would appreciate that comment tbh.

 

[AlexS]

They are great fun, would take one over a bottom spec Clio 3.

After a 172 you'd be very difficult to please though!

They're ok ish... I went for a C2 VTS in the end because it was cheaper, better specced and faster (0-60 in 8s).

Despite being that much better than the twingo, I still think my VTS is crap compared to the ol' 182... now that was fun! If could buy a new one, I'd get one again.

Are you the sexism police?

I'm sure they won't care tbh. My g/f calls it a girly car.
