Had both phases of 172, Phase 1 was mint and faultless, Phase 2 was a total dog and problematic.
Edit - Be better buying an early EP3.

I did consider an EP3 but they are about £1000 more and insurance is quite a bit more too.
end of the day its only wanted as a car to go to and from work and what i have currently is fine for the job so I'm trying to justify spending the money on a clio at best

The thing that always put me off the EP3 in comparison is size. The Clio's charm lies in its a genuinely small car.
Im now on Autotrader, ffs i want another one

I also have another tissue is that from Nov till march I have my sisters A3 sport back as she's being deployed to Oman there for if i get a Clio now it will then be sat round for 4 months not being used?
So do I buy now or wait till march next year?

LY on turini's is where it's at. I wanted racing blue when I got mine but they were all more expensive than my budget so got my second choice, Black Gold.

Renault must have used a different method to paint these than other cars as the paint always looks so good. No matter the colour

Yup. I had a pic of the gold close up in the paint but can't find it.
Loved been on track too
And they also like to cock a rear leg at times
Was just on Michelin PE2's and Eibach springs about 15mm
