A 6 week wait but it was well worth it in the end. Picked it up last night and everything seems ok (fingers crossed) but the fuel consumption has only been about 26mpg for the 50 miles weve done and that includes at least 20 miles of dual carriageway... maybe things just need to loosen up? Anyway, happy so far and xenon headlights are excellent.

Nice one asty. They are great, fun cars.
Its chucking it down with rain here, and even in the wet it has amazing levels of grip. More than any other FWD hatch Ive driven.
If its new, and its your first tank of fuel thats to be expected, mine was the same. By the 3rd tank it had sorted itself out. Mine has only ever had Optimax in it
The Xenons are great, not only do they do a good job, but everyone can spot you a mile off.
The 172 makes my old 10 year old Corrado VR6 seem like a ford transit. The VR6 was so heavy and it wallowed round corners and the brakes were pathetic. Sure it was VERY fast but didnt corner and didnt brake. The 172 is so light and corners much better so Im a happy bunny.
btw - do you need a straightened coat hanger to get to the dipstick?
