Yes mate! I know what you mean!
I'll let you know when I actually get a CS
Although I can't wait to get a sport after my 1.2 if that helps?
Thats a different league pal
The "I've not owned an RS yet" League! You'll love it.
Sold the clio 172 Phs1 stripped out beasty and yeah i missed it at first and hated the scooby wrx, But when i got the clio 172 i hated that and loved my williams. On a flip i also hated the williams when i first bought it and always felt the xsara VTS track car i built was sooo much better.
I just pootle around in the scooby now its awesome, i can even hold a convo with the mrs and dont have that stupidly loud de-catted yozza system shouting at everybody. Ahhhhh the joys of a standard car, but yes i Do miss throwing the clio into roundabouts at silly silly speeds and laughing at much bigger powerful cars as the clio was just abused and thrashed and driven like a true trooper.

I'm on my 5th, so yes, pretty addictive. Take your time looking for the next one! Give me a shout if you need any help.
182 Trophy
did you go to renault world series yesterday mate?, if so i think i saw your car, blue gsiturbo parked on the gravel?, looked stunning if it was yours. See what you mean though, iv'e got a lupo gti now and want a 172/182 badly
The GSi is lovely on the speed. ALOT quicker than the 172, but thats on boost. Seems to me like its the handling factor that appeals to everyone on here. I've only ever driven standard RS's, I bet they are beastly with a few performance mods.
I will text you so you can come with me
Thats gorgeous! Why did you let her go??very addictive car....only car ive owned for 2 yrs and not got bored
will defo get an RS again
depressed, sad day, pissed off.....just go for a blast in an RS and ull come back with a massive grin
Yup i miss it
Rusty Cup
Im on my 5th clio too, got my 182 on coilovers, chipped n exhausted, its 25 miles each way to work n i love every minute of it
tiTTy & SV650
Spent ages looking into what car to get to replace my gti which had replaced my 182 (due to a mortgage!) and after considering lots of more sensible but still sporty options I ended up with a 172.
They are a very good all round package, I got 40mpg today and hit #2#mph at one point lol

i miss mine too! just hope the R32 GTR is as fun!!
Breaking mk2 DCI
When me and the ex split up it went with him.
it was 5 yrs old and hadnt cost me a penny bar servicing
needed aux and cam belt
leak in head gasket
leak in sump
needed a service
suspension was just starting to feel a bit tired
and it was getting to the killer 60,000/5 yrs when things started needing replacing
it was also worth what was owned on finance
he wanted to keep it, so thought id let it go and save up and pay cash for a better, newer RS
also another factor was im now only 3 miles to work in traffic.
but when its a nice day and the boys at his dads, i miss just taking it out for a blast, the 306 shed just doesnt give me the same buzz unless im driving on the end of its limit!
Clio MK 4
I've always had in my mind i'd get something different after my 172 but now after owning it for 2 and a bit years i'm thinking another RS clio is on the cards. I just dread seeing my mileage going up as its time is running out!
Clio 172 Exclusive
I've had 3 Clio's in a row, soon to be 4th when I get myself my first 172 So yes, certainly addictive!
So yes, certainly addictive!but u have a 172 tooo....greedy
Just means I have two cars that rattle alot and break down
200 FF Storm Grey
I lvoe mine, im suprised at how many people appreciate them aswell, washing it yesterday and everybody who walked past made a comment on what a lovely car it was, my neighbour who's a girl my age and has no idea about cars couldnt get over how gorgus it was, I don't see it as a properly nice looking car YET but suppose others do
Meg R26 + Mk4 GTTDI
I've had two Clios so far. When I change my car in a few years I might head away from Clios for a warm-ish hatch then once I can afford it go for a 197/200

i find this strange too, i found other iceberg 172s nicer looking when i passed them than mine and i could never work out what it was that seemed nicer, even though mine was mint every one looked cleaner and in better nic but then i saw my mate drive mine past me and realised what a cool looking car it is lol!
