Sorry to poison this forum with this thread. I have signed up to clio sport but cannot get the answers to my questions as I aint paying!!
The time has come to definately sell the 16v so it will be up for sale on here within the next 2 weeks. Ive owned it for 4 1/2 years and it will break my heart to see it go to be frank. My life is just too busy at the moment and the 16v needs a few things doing to it which i just havent got the time to do.
Im buying a 17-2 phase I. Ive thought long and hard over the last week, and for sure im selling up.
Whats the main factory faults with the cars? Anyone on here know?
Whats this about the coil pack problem?
Are they good at 90k-ish with full service history or a no-go area would we say?
What do i need to check for?
Thanks in advance :o

So you honestly think I wont be as impressed as Im thinking?
Surely theyre an improvement on a 16v?
People talk about the phase1 172 as though theyre the worst hot hatch renault has ever produced!?

I dont fancy stretching to cup money though.
They never did a cup on a mark 2 phase 1 17-2 did they?
That was mark3?
£ to performance theres just no other car I can see that would match it, certainly none that I like though

Read the EVO review of 172 vs Williams:

Things have moved on since then, with regards reliability I guess. But any Renault will develop problems with age.
