The yellow one 
Whilst both an odd colour, the Clio, everyday..
Focus ST
If we're talking figures, the EVO I have in front of me quotes 7.8 for the Mini and 6.6 for the 182.
Your Mrs obviously isn't familiar with the laws of physics, as the Clio is more powerful and weighs less = faster. The Mini probably pulls better from lower down in the Rev range which is why, driving like a woman, she thinks it's faster. Excellent handling cars though.
Also, I'm finding the colour of the Mini quite repulsive, and whilst 182s aren't exactlt rare, Cooper S's are common as muck.
*edit* beaten to it

3 indifferences... the 172cup didnt cost £12995, didnt have 172bhp/tonne, and the 182cup doesnt have 170bhp?!?!

Sorry, just had to check this. The 172 Cup was £12,995, weighs a smidge over a ton, so has the 171 bhp/ton (although I think that might actually be in PS), and the 182 Cuo isn't referenced on there.....
Or am I missing something?
NEED V6!

According to that site... the Clio 182 Cup is faster 0 - 60 than a 172 Cup.. i thought the 172 Cup was just faster..
Figures from Parkers.co.uk:
Mini Cooper S: http://www.parkers.co.uk/choosing/specs/derivative.aspx?manu_name=Mini&manufacturer_name=22439&model_id=1270&fueltype=&months=&spare1=&spare2=
172/182: http://www.parkers.co.uk/choosing/specs/derivative.aspx?manu_name=Renault&manufacturer_name=8219&model_id=1263&fueltype=&months=&spare1=&spare2=http://www.parkers.co.uk/choosing/specs/pdf/32763.pdf
from this figures i guess the fastest mini is faster 0 - 60 just than the clios.
But all females love Mini's the Clio is just sexy
i pick the clio every time

Cupster
Mini steering is sooooo loud. Put me off buying one. Plus it felt heavy, slow and boring compared to the cup.
had a cooper s, traded it in after only 10 months for a 172, and money wasn't an issue....says it all really!!!
Mini was fun, but it drinks and isn't as fun to drive as the 172.
Parts are more expensive, however, TLC pack is well worth it, plus its more reliable than the 172.
Overall, i say depends on what you like, if you like a raw feel go for the 182, if you want luxury and piece of mind go for the MCS.
