Mine had no rattles and they will keep up with most things on the road.
Really annoying when people generalise, my mates CTR has a rattle above 100, does that mean they all do, No.

No need to spit the dummy mate
Just my experiances from them thats all. My old XE corsa used to handle them with ease. My mates 55 plate used to rattle VERY badly as well

The people who say theirs don't rattle are the exception to the rule it seems, because in general they all do.
They aren't that fast but the worst bit about it is it never feels fast, unless you're doing 9 million revs through a roundabout because you can fly round them.

If youve got a rattle then sort it out?

It's more the whole interior instead of just one bit causing a noise.

Can i ask why you had one? by the sounds of it you hate them. Did you not test drive it?

I was looking for a new car, the 172 was quite high specced and I thought i'd give it a go.
I did test drive it yes, I and I assumed other people tend to forget about these things when I want something though.
It wasn't until I was using it day to day that these bits started to annoy me.
It's good at what it does, fairly quick and good round corners, apparently also very capable on track.
Ended up not being what I Was after though.

I thought mine was ace! Just not the car for me in the end.
Pretty much the perfect car for a young lad though if you ask me..cheap insurance..good on fuel and if specced out like mine was there all you need.
