whos had their 172/182 from new?

[dazraffan]

ive had mine since november 2004 its the longest ive ever had one car and ive got no plans to get rid

 

[Darren S]

Similar to me m8. I got mine in the first week of December 2004, though I'd ordered it three months before!

I had my previous car for 6.5 years, so the 182 has a bit to catch up on, yet.

[nelson182]

Got mine in brand new in May 2004. Paid off all the finance now, and still love it!! Longest car I have owned too!

 

[Griff]

Had my Cup from new.

 

[Alan]

Yep got my 182 brand spanking back in Dec 05..

 

[Lee]

I had my 172 from nww, then my 182, and then the Trophy. Kept them 15 months, 12 months and 2 years and still going. I did go and enquire about a new 197 yesterday though.

 

[Lagerlout]

Sssmall F&F Clio ***** lol ^^^

Had mine since November 2003, from new.

Wanted to change it loads of times, but recent house purchase has put a new motor on hold for while!!!

 

[ja.jack]

Got mine March 05. In March 08, I'll be thinking about major tuning.

Hope some new demon goodie is available then.

 

[rwaterman]

Bought mine new april 04 have nearly covered 30k and have absolutely no plans to get rid anytime soon!!

[chriscl]

Had my 182 since new exactly two years now.

Still love it, even though the number plate light fell off today. Hey-ho, the benefits of Renault ownership. Every time I drive it 'enthusiastically' it always brings a smile to the face and I've no plans to get rid just yet!

 

[GM_182]

Got mine from new. Coming up to 2 years of ownership and still happy.

 

[Mike@Rentech]

Since 2003 for me. Wont be selling it.

 

[Dubai182]

From new since Jan 06 and 56,000 happy miles and still going. Don't plan on selling it as it would be worth sweet f.a here anyway lol. Will be adding a second car soon though.

 

[oneeighttwo]

3 years, 1 month and nearly 24000 miles of ownership for me I had it from new and had my cams etc fitted back in November 05. Runs sweet as a nut. Have thought about changing it but after a few enquiry's and test drives I've come to the conclusion that i'd only be changing for the sake of it. Nothing has tempted me enough to take up the extra finance it would cost me to change. Also I'd be jealous about the person getting it knowing all the care and money i've put into it benefiting someone else for next to nothing!!

 

[Pete_br]

got my 172 new in Nov 2003 still dont really know if I want to change it or what Iwould change it to

 

[matt182]

Had mine from new in april 2005 and still only have 12200 miles on the clock and need to get another car now my 182 is getting old

 

[Rich]

Ordered Dec 2004, collected March 1st 2005. Done sod all miles - but wont be selling it.

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Second RS clio for me from new . Had the 172 from new for 4 years then waited for the 197 to come out , didn't like the look of it so bought a new 182 in February 2006 . I'll be keeping it for the forseable future until something else comes along that might tempt me in this price bracket.

 

[rich[182]]

Not current 182 but the 172 I traded in last August I'd had from day 1 for nearly 3 yrs

 

[trailerparktrev]

I've had my baby from new since the end of May 2005. Love it - but am seriously getting tempted to change it.

 

[ja.jack]

Trev! If you change up to a 197 you'll be spending 6k at least, am I wrong? You're an intelligent bloke and have driven the 197 and must be aware of its horrid gear ratios and the reason for them. Why do it?

 

[MarkCup]

November 2003 mine arrived. 89k on and still lovin' it.

Never getting rid.

Never.

 

[Ally]

Got mine new April 2004, sold it in November 2006. Loved it but couldn't live with it.

 

[Maz]

Nope bought mine at 6 months old

 

[clarkiev6]

had my vee from new....love it!!

 

[Gem]

I havent, but I wish I'd have had it from new! I love it to bits and the mileage is still relatively low...although not ideal. I wont be selling it for a while.

The previous owner only had it for a year and he looked after it extremely well indeed

 

[DebV6]

I've had mine from new, got it in oct 05. Am keeping for another year or so then will hopefully be getting a vee. That's my plan anyway!

 

[DNP182]

i've had my black/gold new from january 05 - 36000miles on the clock and have enjoyed putting every single mile there! starting to look a little road battled now, i.e. chips on bonnet, front spoiler and windscreen...but nothing that a respray wouldn't fix. still get a buzz from driving the 182...fantastic little car which...believe it or not...has been remarkably reliable.

 

[Trevor]

Had my 182 from new since Nov 2004 and absolutely love it.

 

[Leeshez]

I bought mine March 2005 brand new. I had my last 2 cars at least 4 years.

 

[Munday]

Bought mine in May 2005 brand new.

These days it rattles lots, doesn't go above 3000rpm until after its been running a few mins and I like other cars.

 

[Saundo]
