has some one who has actaully lived with a 172 for a long time/big mileage give an opinion on what its been like? i need a newer more reliable car that can comfotable swallow big mileages, the early Mk 1 172s are good value nut i cant help buy question the reliability but this is offset when compared with the ultra relaible CTR buy the clios high spec (A/C etc)
i guess i would proably be buying one with 15-30k on it and will be doing up to 25k a year in it, i need to be able to use it everday, im not for one minute questioning the cars ability its ourley the reliability and running costs i need to consider
