none :(
agree with that - but can easily fit a ph2 rear bumper
none :(
how much maitenance costs etc - insuarnce and tax dont bother me as i pay that anyway
Pros - looks more different to the lesser spec'd ph1 clios than the ph2 172 does to other ph2s.
Ermmm.... it's cheap to buy?
Cons - it's a 7 year old French car a.k.a. s**t and falling to bits. :dapprove: Oh yes, as Laingo said, the gearing is too long. Far too long.
Get a ph2, they shouldn't have rattled to pieces just yet.

Lots of Alfas
Not enough people mentioning the pros:
- 172mk1 registered (most of them) before mar2001 have a slightly lower tax band
- Cable throttle which is more responsive
- Lighter weight
- Very slightly faster than 172mk2
- Steering feels better, more feedback than 172mk2/182 could be down to smaller/lighter wheels
- Steering wheel really soft (unless its fallen apart).
- Cheaper to buy
- Twin cat which is less restrictive
- Slightly longer gear ratios
- Better designed airbox..
- A lot of people advise its fun to drive in standard form that the other clio RS's

ph1 172 is a mint car for the money, i had so much fun in mine, dropped it 40mm added some ph2 back lights and turini's and i thought it looked lovely.
handling is very very good if not better than my 182, running costs aint to bad i dont think, if you want economy buy a 1.2.
only thing that annoyed me was the knocking under hard acceleration (common problem)
steering wheels are crap, interior aint the best, but for the money there a mint car

4th advert down looks mint

I'd say the pro's are all about drivability and value for money sports hatch-ness.
Cons are that, as said, it's a 7 year old French shitbox, with 'average' interior, and the view from the back aint too pretty.
Looks are generally opinionated: I think thewy're a huge Pro, others don't like them.
