I know this is tempting fate big time but I have had my 172 Cup for 3 months now and have had absolutely no problems with it at all. Granted the car has only done 2500 miles in total but it has been totally reliable with no niggly faults like you often hear on the forum.
I appreciate that a lot of people only post when there is a problem but touch wood again my Clio has been fine so far. How many others have a Clio with a few more miles on than mine which has had no problems?
