Dear community members,

Would you please be so kind an give me some
advise, what to do?

i am owning my full fat 182 including Recaros,
Trophy suspension (one of only 3 in Germany)
since 2007 and she is my daily car. She is equipped
with 16" Ultraleggeras, Fastchip mapping and a
scorpion rs 192 system.

She has now 100.000 miles and is running sweet as
ever. She is continously serviced at a specialist who
knows the car inside out.

Thing is I am getting older (33) and I am thinking
of switching to a frugal Mini or Bmw Diesel. But on the
other hand I enjoy the Clio nearly on every drive.
At the Moment I am managing 64miles with 6.9litres
of fuel, so why buy a diesel?

So the question is:
Sell her (won't get more than 4.000 pounds)
keep her and buy a cheap every day car (Basically I do not want 2 cars)
drive her like I did up to now.

or any other proposals?

Thanks for your Input!

Im 37 and used used my trophy everyday till recently when I brought a cheap daily (saab 93 hot aero convertible) to use and stick mileage on. But a cheap daily with a small engine would make lots of sense and still have a fun great driving car for when the mood takes you.

I'm 46 only bought my T earlier this year...One of the best cars to drive I've owned including the special metal! I'd keep it until you really need to change it or when you stop feeling the love for it...

44 years young, have a v10 RS6 with 740 bhp.

When it's just me on a journey I would take the T every time.

Now is not the time - definitely keep it whilst you are still enjoying it and it's still running so well.

Hahahahaha! I will not allow you to sell your car. You have to keep it. Discussion over! :p

And if sharky's got giving up, it has to inspire you to keep it.
Haha, thanks mate! I think 99.9% of folks think I'm just plain stupid! :)

Nah not stupid, maybe a glutton for punishment maybe.
Hmm, you might be right. Apparently I'm quite patient, too. :)

RsMax - I'd forgotten I'd posted on Cliors.de. It's two years ago since I last posted on there. I would say a lot of things have happened over those two years but driving my Trophy hasn't been one of them :(
