Clio Upgrade

[Mattie]

not another naples!

[Coops]

You wanted something reliable and you stuck with a renault?

Matt

i wanted something MORE reliable than the mk1

this has 12 months MOT and 1 yrs warrenty...which means

it's MORE reliable

;)

that doesnt mean its more reliable, just means you'll be MORE pissed off when it does go wrong! :P

[Andy P]

Yeah, that just means its legal for a year.

Good luck with it.

gearbox mounts ahem

lol when i read "upgrade" i thought ud T/B'd ur valver

[J o n]

not bad, always found the 172 FF slow as hell though... stick a 2.0 in the valver now and you'll know the meaning of quick

I test drove a 172 and was overall very dissapointed

looked very nice, black and mint but the drive felt so.... i dunny... girly... the steering was stupidly light; the clutch felt pathetic... plasticy and like it was going to snap at any second and it felt a lot slower than i had expected...

i do like them a lot more than i used to and was looking for the similar reasons as you. ie newer more reliable and heaters that work etc lol...

maybe i just test drove a dodgey one though...

looks nice in red though fella, hope it works out ok for ya

compared to my valver, the 172 is like a rolls.

I didnt buy it for track, strip, RR, or to show off, it's for work purposes, taking the mrs to see her family and for when i go out on appointments.

This way i can dedicate more to the MK1.

And when i test drove the 172 i was really pleased, maybe cuz im not overly picky, but i thought the whole feel of the car felt good and strong, and really pulled well.

Certainly a lot better than a Z3 anyway
