I have mates with FRS that have paid 20 k have problems from a new car so these arent that bad... I love my little 172, only 300 miles on it and still waiting for the squeeks.

Sorry, I didnt mean it to sound like a dig, I was just saying that I looked at these areas when buying the car, I would have thought the 172 vs the CTR are around the same figures as the power to weight thing? Also you have to agree paying 15/16k for a CTR is not to bad but when you have to...

Hi sorry to be a pain, There was a post on here before about what changers you can get for the 172 as well aqs the links to the sites. I have done a search but I cant see it!... Also is it worth replacing the whole CD headunit or just keep the standard one and add a changer.? Thanks...

Well when I sold the LCR last month really the only cars that I wanted that wouldnt cost the earth was a second hand CTR or the Clio. Thanks to my little brother buying his first, I really had a chance to push it and to see if I could live with it. The CTR isnt really a bad car in anyway, I...

I have to say I think the 172 is wicked on the petrol, I get £30 - 300 miles, and thats mixed drving. In my old Focus that was a 2.0 out of £40 quid :o I would be lucky to see the best part of 220 miles from a tank, even on a long trip 250 was like.... WOW...;)

hello!!!!! ;)

They are good as long as the cars arent that expensive to insure i.e new 172

I have had both a LCR and have a 172, I have also driven the CTR.. Here is my 2ps worth. The LCR is brilliant you HAVE TO CHIP it and its the fastest thing under 18k, if you are looking to get one get the older 210 version its the same power when chipped (270blp/307lbs ft). I love...

Thanks for the link, that helps a lot. I have a mate that is manager of one of the biggest internet car audio centres in the uk so I am going to hit him for a discount, also he does CAT 2-1 alarms for the car ;) Like I said thanks guys!.

Any Ideas on the cost of the changer? Sorry to be a pain... Thanks for all the replies. :)

hmm.... Intresting... Is there an aftermarket CD changer that I can get that will do the same job?

I have mine, If like me you get the "French" version, it doesnt have a CD changer under the seat, Where as the Uk cars do. Changing the profile now ;)

Honestly mate you havent mad a bad choice, I know people say the 182 will hold its value better but to be honest its luck of the draw when it comes to the buyers. I dont mind as I know it will lose money but at 10,999 I can sell it cheaper than a 182 and it will go just as quick. Enjoy.

Bloody hell I have started a trend...lol They said do I want to wait for the 04 reg, I replied "Dont be silly!"... ;)

Hello mate, I had the car after 3 Days of picking up the phone and buying it!. I was very impressed, and I like you didnt wait for the 182, I think I can live with out the extras the 182 has.;) I think the finance works out at 12.9 thats around £253 per month with a £500 Deposit They...
