Clio 04 172 Cup
Stalled a few times!
I see people that stall all the time and I just do not know how they manage it. I stalled a few times when I first passed, then was fine for weeks, then stalled it once when I had to slam on to avoid an accident, In a way I had to as I probably wouldn't have stopped in time if I'd put the clutch in, it was that close! Since then haven't stalled for about 8 months.
<EDIT> Can understand people in RS stalling now an then due to the heavy clutch etc, but these people I'm on about always stalling drive 106's, KA's etc.

Ive owned my 172 a week and havnt stalled it yet, i stalled my dads mk2 172 a couple of times after driving my 1.4 dynamique, im used to the clutch now dosnt seem as stiff
ex Clio 172 owner :(
Spooky this, I was actually gonna post a thread like this earlier today.
Had my 172 for 5 weeks now. I've stalled it about 10 ten times.
Dunno what it is. I never used to stall the VTS or my old car or my mother's car. I'd have thought a 2.0 would be a bit more forgiving for not giving it enough revs but no.
For some reason my 172 just seems to stall for the slightest under reving start off.

I've stalled my 172 loads more than the 1.2 I had before it. Think you need to rev them a fair bit to get them moving until you get the hang of it.
I still don't really like hill starts in the 172 as I'm always worried I'll either stall or going flying off up the hill from giving it too many revs.

I stalled my 172 a few times when i first got her. The only problem i have now is i drive a Citreon Berlingo [work vehicle] and when i get back into the clio i always forget how heavy the clutch is, at least the van makes the 172 feel nice and fast.
I've only stalled a couple of times in the last 6/7 months, once on the test drive...
I think I judder sometimes when I pull away because I'm conscious (sp?) of what the car sounds like when I rev 'too' much and I don't want people to think I'm trying to show off or intimidate anyone. So I try to creep away a lot of the time, which can cause under-rev...

Renault Clio 1.4 RT
Only occassionally. For me it's missing gears, i do that quite a bit!!
Golf GTI PP Mk7
stalled mine a few times when i picked it up, the clutch felt mental stiff after coming from a 1.4S. took the 1.4 out quickly about 4 days after getting my cup, damn thing felt looser than this bird i know down the road.
hmm i've never stalled the cup and in all honesty I can't see why so many people have trouble with the RS clio's coming off clutch!! not saying i'm the stig or superior in any way but i've always thought that this was a strange un.........BTW the missus has never stalled it either, wierd!!
