My old oneMiss that car.
Out of interest, what did you replace it with?
Owners of BMW 7 Series / 5 Series etc etc would say that it isnt possible to live with a clio 182 on the motorway. The lack of huge leather seats and climate control means its simply NOT possible ....
A non cup/trophy 172/182 does indeed have climate control. However its not dual zone which is vital these days
In my opinion the 172/182 desperately needs a 6th gear to drop the revs right down at motorway speeds. 70 in 5th, its just too eager to go again, blip the throttle slightly and your speed increases far too easy as well as being a lot noiser than it should really be.
However i did 400miles going to Cambridge and back in a day and didn't find the car too bad at all. Turned the radio up to overcome the engine noise, seats are pretty comfy so all was good. Returned over 40mpg average and that includes trying to keep up with my mate on his newly acquired Honda fireblade that we had just picked up.
Downside is it's a small french hatch so has most of the usual traits, however they aren't that bad in all honesty. But on the flip side, it has all the usual traits of a small french hot hatch
So it's nippy, handles well and it cheap to buy 
Have done over 50k in mine and it's been fine
na I've not posted proper pics anywhere yet, waiting until I've finished detailing it all, only about half way through as I can't find the time lately
so thats about 26 layers?

well it was but I discovered a spec of dust, using my paint gauge I worked out it must be under layer 3, so I isopropynoled the car back to its bare paint and started again

And don't forget those rare cups that had it as an option
Or even rarer are 182s with sat nav!

Has anyone managed to get decent insurance at 19 on one of these. I really like the 172 but insurance is proving a bit of a pain.

How much are they - about £35? It's worth ringing around some local places that will be able to do it for that sort of price. Kwik-fit charge £45 I think
