Is it me or is the 1*2 looking really dated now? A local chav with a 172 parked it next to my 197 and the 172 really did look rather silly. i could hear the rattles from within my car

seems its day is gone imo as the chavs have definitely got hold of it.

shame really

 

[Dash]

Saw a right chav in a 197 at Tesco Express. Tunes thumping etc. Must have nicked it.

[lusty v-tec]

he will prob give it back soon enough when he see's how many old women drive them. (thats just an observation of mine recently)

 

[Shindig]

wait till he cant afford the repayments

tbf the clio sport is the new saxo, most 19 / 20 year olds can now afford it

 

[172cupwizard]

We are bored of your 1*2 baiting threads now Seb Lol

yeah that is my thoughts too. the 197 is not as badly affected as the 172's etc. but i am sure the disease will grip them within the next year or so.

 

[Munson]

182s are definitely looking old now.

 

[G_F]

I feel like a chav driving mine these days tbh, time to move on me thinks...

 

[seb]

gives me some amusement.

Yeah then you can move to something with pedigree, like a Honda

lol, no spam here, just an observation of how dated the car you drive looks

 

[R3OBC]

as long as its not a new civic type R........shows that people know nothing about what a type R should be........

 

[Munson]

TBH there is no doubt about it. Although the 182s and 172s are still quite pretty in isolation, standing next to a 197 they look like a roller skate.

 

[172cupwizard]

Think im gonna upgrade to a 197 cup! when they finally put a turbo on one.

You just come on here to cause arguements. Big wow that you have a year old car. I will get you a medal. We choose to drive 172's because we like them. I think the 197's look like people carriers personally, but don't go on about it.

Grow up and f**k off

 

[seb]

shame you can't take the banter

now stop trying to cause arguments to get my thread clsoed. that just ain't cricket

 

[R3OBC]

The Cliosport banter is always worth a read whilst eating your lunch!

I totally agree with the above comment.

Yeah they are shite. I hated my 2 test drives. I only bought one because I read some good road tests writen by other people. I realised my own opinion doesn't matter. Not sure why I even test drove it TBH, as we all know it's other peoples opinions that matter

on a side note, when have i bigged up my year old car or made any mention of that? i haven't and funnily enough i have no need to.

all i am discussing is how dated the 172 looks.

lusty, we all know what your agenda is so just go away. i don't want this thread to turn into a asw lusty roll call.

shouldn't you be in general chat or something discussing hair products?

now run along to pootle or dk to complain lusty... i know what you are like.

 

[R3OBC]

thats the spirit Roy!!!! i couldnt believe you parted with the Cup!!!! Hope the Civic is going well anyway mate! I love the interior!

 

[Laura]

ill be upgrading within the next 12 months i think ...
evo here i come

Nobody cares though.

 

[Munson]

Next to a 197, the 182 looks 'fragile'. I think that would be my summary. Quite fitting really as they are pretty fragile.

 

[-Leigh-]

It's not about how much you can afford though. It's about the car you choose and like. I could afford an R26 outright, but decided I'd rather save the money. Seb just likes to show off, that's all.

im sorry but this thread is just sh*t stiring IMO.

Im not trying to turn this into a lusty thread either.

 

[Munson]

Paranoia?

 

[R3OBC]

you are all mis led anyway!! i thought it was now common knowledge that the most fun you can have in a clio is with a 1.2 16v!!!! I prefered mine to Vickys 172...........and thats no joke ;( (on the right road of course lol)

 

[fizzy_drink]

I personally still LOVE the 182.

I honestly would buy another one if I could get hold of a brand new machine... but they're all gone.

Perhaps I'll buy Rich's car when he's bored of polishing it!


Between the 197 and 225, I'd go for the 225 (considering the little difference in price). Who knows what I'll get in October eh?

 

[172cupwizard]

I like the 197! its a bigger better built car, its more grown up! and yes i can see myself getting one someday. each to their own at the end of the day. Still love all the clios

it's funny though and banter/tongue in cheek (PM me for meaning if necessary). It's better than listening to you whine on about how much of a fag you are, or about fake tan, small phallus issues, hair straightners or other similar mincery that no self respecting real man should discuss.

An actual car discussion thread is the last place I would expect you to be tbh, that and a thread about shaving (unless your talking about your legs/flange).

Seb - back on topic and you are right, they look dated and not in a cool MK1 retro way... but I'm an uber chav/thug hence the reason I got one. I'll nick a 197 when I see one though... when you coming up to Manchester?

 

[sh33n]

I love the looks of the new 197, and defo prefer it to the 182, but the 182 still looks great.

Mate literally got an artic blue last week, reminded me of the good ol' days in my Cup!

 

[Dash]

197 is a handy small family sized car with a wee bit of poke.

Renault got it right this time.

 

[Tom]

The corsa vxr is s**t.

BUT it wasnt that long ago that everyone slagged off the 197 - those threads were ok, no? So when its the other way around, whys it sh*t stirring?

no ta.

i reckon the 182 looks infinitely better than the 197! really

and it doesn't weigh 4650250254325-289-67hg896578465028 kg's

refer to any independent performance reviews of the two cars...
