Clio 182

[Thornesy]

GF has been looking at getting a 182.. went and test drove one yesterday and must say, it felt stacks quicker than my 172!

It pulled right from the bottom of the rev range, whereas mine seems to hang around a bit low down the revs!

Its a 54 plate, with 35k miles. Steering wheel is heavily worn, which is strange! Gonna get that re-trimmed! Also the seat belts are filthy!

Hope I can clean them up rather than replace them! Mechanically it drove really well, so managed to get it for £5400

Should have it next week Our neighbours will think we're breeding clios now!

I've driven two 182's both had under 40k on the clock, and i found my 172 on 90k+ quicker.

I also think my 172 was faster, just seamed to flow better.

never driven a 182. quite curious on how they feel compared to my 172

That REALLY isn't strange.

That REALLY isn't strange.

my 172 has done 97k, and the steering well is in great condition

^The exception that proves the rule

 

[Thornesy]

My 172 steering wheel has done 39k and is in mint condition! Thats why I was so suprised to see the other one was a mess! Now that the GF has a newer car than me.. i think i might be looking for a change!

 

[Christophe]

mines done 47k and looks new

remember that no two cars are built the same.

Some are quick,some are not

In a straight line there wouldnt be a midgets baw hair between them

^^^yep, the extra 10bhp makes no difference in the real world.

Totally agree - I've had a go with a 182 before and it was neck and neck.. just when i drove the one yesterday it seemed really lively

 

[Craig]

i thought my 182 was quicker then my 172. though my 172 was on 27000 miles when i sold it and my 182s racked up 41000

 

[Fletcher]

They do get looser/quicker the more miles they do.

My 182 feels better and drives quicker than my 172, im glad i upgraded.

This means i've got two cars to polish on a weekend now cuz she's a lazy cow and never washes her cars!!!
