Can anyone give me a few pointers on this car please....?
MPG ?
Servicing Costs ?
Usefullness as an economy daily driver?
Any other info - ride quality anything [I need to advise someone!!!]
Hi Jon, I've had my 172 for 3 years now, and have used it as a daily driver, 50K miles, will be going hopefully before August to make way for the Chim
Ride quality is pretty good, I found that the original tyres,continetals (sp) were pretty rubbish, on toyo proxes now.
MPG I can normally get 34/36 50 mile round trip per day.
Servicing, last one at 48K was 250 quid, had a huge one at (I think) 24K when I needed pads and discs replacing plus a few other bits and bobs, think that came to about 500, which was a shock!! I only used Renault for servicing to keep the warranty up.
Have to say tho, its a great car to drive, you can fling it about on the road like a go kart

When you get the Chim you'll come out beaming if a service costs as little as £500 at an Indy Tripps said:

I have just got a 172 phase 1 Exclusive and it is pretty dam good. Getting between 32 MPG (Nurbergring!) and 50 MPG at 65MPH on the motorway so averaging around 38 mpg all in (running on Optimax, V-Power and Ultimate 100 in DE).
I looked at 6 cars most trashed and looked shabby nearly gave up looking. IF you find a good one I think there good fun. I have had it 10 days and have done 2000 miles.
Cheers
