my personal opinion with any performance car is to buy standard, the only exception being a s/s exhaust and even then im fussy.....to me a modified car usually means its been given a bit of a hard time, depending on whats been done

but its all down to yourself mate, you'll usually know when test driving a car if its been abused.

I have to agree....I always prefer to buy a car as standard as possible

Here Here, I also agree. You never know how a tuned car has been treated- potentially raced, lots of rev limiter action etc.

I agree with the others. The 172 isn't a rare car, so you can spend time picking the best. I looked a few 172s and walked away from each owned by young lads like me

From your own thread this is definately not the sort of car you'd want

If its making 192hp it will have already been remapped.

how do you work that out mate?

believe me ive bought a car once with a few things done to it(106 gti) and never would i again....after a week or 2 it gave nothing but bother it had def had a hard life, why would someone make their car go faster if they dont intend driving it harder?

yes its nice to have a bit of power there and some people tune cars and dont rag the s**t out of them but from having owned a fair few performance cars in the past 8 years, modifications can often spell a hard life.....but hey just my opinion doesnt mean its rubbish though!

i prefer a near standard car form a more mature owner
