The steering wheel on the mk1 was alcantara (a bit dodgy if you ask me cause it always wears down and becomes shiney)
the mk2 steering wheel was leather. I agree about the performance thing .. no difference. The alloy pedals are nice.. when your feet are wet they dont slip on the pedals..
well i think tomclio is half right
think mk2 def has the best rear. at least this rear bumper is easier to tell apart from the lower end models
think mk1 has a better lights and also half a resemblence to the earlier phase 2 clios grills,
i personally like the mk2 front bumper better but the mk2 lights are a tad too big and i still think the shape is wrong on them,
both look purposefuls but are both hard to tell apart from lower models
also mk1 has better less boring dials
mk2 wheels are a bit trimmy but thats renos fault mk1 could of actually had wheels trims if they did not use the f1s from oz
anyway thats my bit but hey both mk1 and mk2 dont look as good as a valver or willy.bet that opended up a whole can of worms

The mystery machine definately has it in the curves department but I think Pats van is a bit faster.
So the BBC has it over Warner Bros!!

wongy, so what your secretly trying to tell me is the mk2 172 is better than the mk1.. thats my interpretation anyway and Im sticking to it..
ps. has to be the mystery machine everytime.. that van is soo funky.. and is probably full of scooby snacks.. mMmm..
172man, please send your steering wheel to me for inspection.. and please include a self adressed envelope...thx. you will ofcourse not be able to use your 172 while this inspection is carried out and Im afraid all our courtesy cars are out at the moment.
damn I sound like a Renault Customer Services person.. (maybe I should apply)

That mark 1 has had its side door protection strips colour coded (which in my opinion makes it look much nicer)
Heres my opinion and most of the people ive met, spoken to etc about it. Had the choice of a mk.1 172 or mk.2. The mk.1 i chose had 1,000 miles on it and was going for £11,400, the mk.2s were £11,600 imported new. I nearly didnt buy a 172 at all when i saw the new look (bug eyed) until i saw a mk.1 for sale and changed my mind. It wasnt anything to do with waiting times, or anything, just my personal preference, which, with regards to EVERYONE is going to be that (their personal preference).
Things i like about mk.1: weight, looks, exclusivity, handling, ability to keep up with 3 CTRs to high figures, respect from other people admiring it etc.
Things i dont like about the mk.1: steering whel, driving position, gearbox
Things i like about mk.2: looks (now, theyve grown on me), handling, interior, blue lights. Absolutely adore the new CUP. In fact the only mk.2 id buy would be the CUP.
Things i dont like about mk.2: non-white dials, steering wheel, wheels, "perforated" alcantara seats - whats that all about??!, toasted 3 of them (possibly down to the drivers?), FBW throttle response is
, weight.All my opinion (and my friends), but still really like the mk.2 and would love a CUP (with ABS
)
