My 172... time to change?

[fUbAr]

Im confused...

I love my 172 to bits, its reliable, its fast, its rare, its a Ph1, its in mint condition...

so why am i left wanting to trade it in for a un-modded 182?

help me!

 

[DH_GTI]

because its better !! lol

 

[GarethM]

i have no idea fella,

if i was to change it would be for a trophy or a vee. imo you/we have the best RS as you said its rare, fast etc and has the better looks also

 

[RobHardyUK]

Noooooooo. I had a 182 a while back and like my 172 more and more everyday!! tho i get jelous of xenons

 

[Peperami]

I was looking at 182's the other day mate! I want a black ff with both cup packs, and ive got a 172cup, which is even closer than yours!

imo the 182's drive nicer...

 

[fUbAr]

i think somewhere in my head i want a more sensible car... a standard one which i can live with better on a day to day basis. I'll be doing more miles with my new job.

i would like a rare colour such as petrol blue if i get one...

 

[TomS]

Why do I get the urge for a Lupo gti? lol

I fookin love the YOJ... I can't get rid!

 

[fUbAr]

plus my cars getting on for 60k miles now...

im talking myself into it.

inferno or petrol blue would be nice.

 

[christurbo]

How much would you put yours on the market for?

 

[fUbAr]

£5k is reasonable. its on 54000 miles at the moment.

why get something slower :quiet:

if i was upgrading it would have to be a megane 225 if i wanted something more sensible, plus faster.

too much money, although i would much rather the meggy!

 

[TomS]

he he class :approve:

Slammed on coilovers and on BBS old school rims... oh ja

Just not sure if I get on with the rear of them

Sorry Dan, hijacking...

 

[Martin_172]

ah right not even a higher milage pre facelift one?

 

[edde]

I'd keep your own car.

 

[Ads_172]

I'm thinking the same Fubar, but at the moment I think I'd rather have the extra money. Once I've bought a house and sorted a mortgage I may see if my funds will stretch to a small loan and get a 225...

For the money nothing is better than the Ph1 172 IMHO.

 

[cK]

Slcr - more sensible/grown up car, looks good, 5 doors, reliable, brilliant engine.

 

[Ads_172]

^ Pretty cheap for what you get as well, and the older style ones (nicer IMO) prices will now tumble with the new facelift released...

 

[Justin]

yeah its not really worth changin to a 182, even though they are the superior RS!

 

[fUbAr]

hmm.....

 

[Day]

Different car, same problems.

Get something different.

 

[Fletcher]

I'm in the same boat Fubar, i love my car to bits, but shes now on 59K and i would like something with lower millage as me and my girlfriend do aroud 18K a year.

 

[JuanBoy]

If it's Mint then keep it mate - better the devil you know - if you've extra money to spend use it doing it up, Superchipped, Wheels, whatever! Or save for something you really want.

 

[tameracingdriver]

Dont think i would bother tbh, they are essentially the same cars really, theres not enough of a change really to justify it. Sure each car has various things in its favour over the other, but all in all its just like swapping a cadbury's dairy milk for a galaxy.

LCR210 or 225 are great cars, be warned though, they cost significantly more to run!!!!

 

[sh33n]

Why bother changing for essentially the same car?

Keep it, or get something that's not a clio.

Something thats not as good as the clio

Dont say that too often or you'll be getting yourself banned.. haha

 

[chris_p]

I'm after a phase1, looks so much better! get some pics up of yours mate, and what spec inc mods? On topic though, for the money you could buy a 182...I'd buy a more executive car, depends what you're after bud

 

[tommyboy]

get an inferno 182 ff, awesome. or black gold

 

[christurbo]

Go for something RWD - much more rewarding.
