New vs Old

[fUbAr]

I need to decide on somethin. Im 50/50 what to change my car for. Its a 2001 1.4 16v. My dilemma is that i dont know whether to get a williams or a 172.

Would you change your car for one a lot older, but lots better? or one of a similar age, and lots better?

Better the devil you know...

Mk1 172

Have you driven one?

If not well sort something out

the williams looks better! but if i could afford a newer car, id get it!

 

[Adams_16v]

Depends really, newer obviously will be newer, lower millage, but also have more toys to go wrong, especially renaults haha!

More powerfull in most cases, but also heavier.

id go with the old skool, they are still kicking the newer cars asses!

172, old cars are dangerous and a pain in the ass as you are working on them all the time.

If its your hobby to work on cars, then a new car wouldnt be much fun.

182 over a Williams, maybe..

 

[Ian_182]

get a willy if you dont have the initial outlay

if you have the outlay get a 182 with bits,cos it kicks ass

both great cars but ten years apart,if you know what i mean

[GeeUK]

I like new cars myself.

 

[fUbAr]

182 is not an option (cost).

i will have enough for either Mk1 172 or williams.

172 Id go for personally.

It may be unreliable and more difficult to fix but personally I like safety and toys.
