Soon to be RSC 172 or 182 owner (hopefully)

Hey guys

 

I'm hoping to buy one of these beautiful cars very soon.

I'm on my green P's at the moment & have only driven a manual car a couple of times.

I'm actually a bit embarrassed about the fact that I won't be able to even test drive the car before buying (most likely would get my dad too).

What do you guys think about learning on a Clio? I understand they have a bit of a tricky clutch?

 

Cheers

welcome crooosh,

I believe the 172 clutch could be tricky, the 182's isn't. As for learning to drive on a RS Clio, shouldn't be a problem if you take it easy.

Thanks mate. Slow & steady for sure

I haven't heard this before and didn't really notice much when test driving 172's and eventually bought my 182. I notice the 182 clutch releases up high and is also a bit stiff compared to other cars, but I thought all Clios were like that.

 

Is there a difference?

clutch cable is different (better) in a 182, just fit one to your 172 if it's an issue

Howdy, welcome...and yes, get one.

ps: i'm doing the clutch cable thing for myself to see what noticeable difference there is.
