running costs of my dci65!!!
430Nm.
Decent seating position & full leather, cruise control, better interior as in dashboard fit and finish, decent speakers.
But believe it or not the thing I miss most is a centre console armrest, alot of my previous cars had armrests,
I wouldn't buy a car that didn't have one, it makes long motorway journeys far more comfortable.
However I can do without all those things as my cars engine and handling more than make up for it.

LOL, I was in your situation last month, I now have a working car with a replacement box, but no f*cking money anymore!! :dapprove:
I'd like to add 'reliable gearbox' to my list of things I miss.

Nothing I still have the same car!
Arctic 182 FF
I miss my icy cold aircon from my 172. Aircon in my new 182 sucks.
Needs regassing me thinks...

I miss the speed limiter that the 172/182 had, that was actually really useful, my car just has a speed limited warning sound which is no way near as helpful, my car also has no front fogs and only part electric seats, so if i was fussy i would say i miss those too. I also did like the cornering lights on the 197 although i can easily live without those, they seem to have died a death a little bit on newer cars!
4 NEW boxes, in 2 months!
That's the only thing I can think of.
I miss heated seats but tbh the Frp does a lot of stuff well.

Mine were faultless, but lots of people seem to complain.
The lights are pretty much perfect day to day. Only thing they struggle with is fog.
The wipers were fine for me, but they are what people complain about.
Auto wipers are ok but I miss an 'intermittent' setting. I hate how the auto lights make it impossible to flash your full beams. What's all that about?
Anything else for the list?...
Wipers that give the driver a better view than the passenger
Seats that go back to the position they were in before you let someone in the back
Side lights you can change without removing the effing bumper!!!
A clutch that's depression doesn't constitute a 'workout'
A sunroof
One touch passenger window
Heated windscreen

F*CKING HELL!!!!
By new do you mean second hand, recon, or actually brand new?
If they're brand new i'm shocked!!
What kind of power you running to keep shredding boxes, 400bhp or something?
Also how you paying for all that work & parts, robbing post offices? lol
New boxes, power wise about 171bhp and 159lbft, I wish it was 400bhp I wouldn't mind as much!
Thankfully parts warranty is taking care of costs! I paid for one, Renault paid for the rest.
Jesus!!! That's bad, I felt gutted when mine went bang at 70mph,
Sideways Danny thinks the broken one wasn't original either, as it was a JC5 130 in a 52 plate 172.
It now has another 130 in it that's working well, although i'm a little paranoid now.
I think i'd have lost the will to carry on with Clios if i'd have gone through 4 in 2 months,
thank f*ck you had a parts warranty.
