Sorry for this but I know that a few of yous on here have/had one and I need to know more about them. I found one not to far from me for a good price with nice subtle mods.

Sorry that this is the same kind of post as my other but at least it gives you all something to chat about

Soooo lets here your views

Cheers

They excell at being a fast fun hatch with lots of toys thats built on the cheap. Iv done 70k in mine, its on 90k now and although its abit rattly and getting abit tired i still love driving it. Iv had no real problems with mine and the engines are very strong if serviced often. Plugs are over £20 a set but u only need to do them every 60k

Theres a internet myth that the belts are exlensive to change. Any decent garage should charge less than £400 including all genuine renault belts.

Thanks adam.

I've noticed that they massively differ in prices, for example there is a 2004 model with 53k for £4.2k and a 2005 model with 51k for £5495. Thats a hell of a lot.

I've found this one

my mates got a 182 cup, he had a 172 with a few mods before which i actually prefered as it had half leather etc, his gearbox started to whine so he sold it

for the money they are far better than any other small hatch

I think they are brilliant cars, great fun if driven hard but refined and quite comfortable. Built quality isnt astonishing, wish someone would buy mine...

I think you would never get the most of it unless you used it on track, I love them.

My sisters owned a 172 Cup for 2 years now, pretty good cars but of course not without their faults.

You hear good and bad things like all cars. A mate of mine used his a lot and did over 50k in around 2 years and didn't have any problems, just the usual cost like any car.

I've done 45k in mine in two years and only had to service it which I will admit isnt the cheapest thing to do.

I did the belts last week and that set me back £550 with a lot of shopping around.
