Clio 172 vs 182
 

I can save alot of money buying a 172 instead of nearly new or new 182 - is there a big difference ? The extra money will be a struggle but can be done - what are the main differences (apart from the obvious power difference) ?

Not alot. Basically the same brakes, gearbox, suspension, etc, equipment levels

Cup suspension option available on the 182 which apparently is a must have.........

Depreciation will be alot worse on the 172. Both will depreciate rapidly though. The model is coming to an end and soon they will release a new model/look. You could get a very good deal on a 172. I spoke to renault garage in brum and they were willing to deduct 2-2.5k off the rrp just before the 182 came out!

have the best of both worlds - get a 172 cup cheap. As quick as 182 cup in straight line (as lighter) and came with cup pack.

my wife bought a new 182 about 6 weeks ago, the dealer, gravells in kidwelly had a new 172 in blue, said she could have had it for 12k

If you dont mind me asking, what did u pay for the new 182 ? Best I have been shown is £12,775 on the road.

Get a 172 Cup... best of the lot and can be had for not a lot of money now!

I used to have one, superb car!

why are they still selling new 172s? Thought the 182 superseeded it? :confused:

Probably the odd one kicking about, but yes the 182 has replaced the 172

get a 172 cup
 

then with the 4 thosend you will save can go performance parts then kick the ass of a 182 anyway. for arguments sake buy a decent 172 cup for about 8-9-grand and put 700 quid into a good exhaust and ind kit and theres your 182 bhp already
