Does The 172 Cup Have ABS??

[billythefish]

Hi,

Thinking about buying a Clio 172 Cup but as I know nothing about Renaults I thought I'd join this lovely forum to find out some more information on them!

After reading a few threads on here I've got the impression that the 172 Cup version doesn't have ABS and indeed doesn't handle that well, is that right??

Thanks in advance people! :approve:

no abs

Doesnt have abs has progressive braking, still handles well though.

 

[S77CCP]

handle like a dream, just doesn't have a few 'safety features'

iirc 172 cup has no abs, but 182 cup does

 

[S77CCP]

iirc 172 cup has no abs, but 182 cup does

yep, and air con as standard.

when you say it has progressive braking, what do you mean?

Press the pedal harder and it brakes harder? :clown:

abs is for birds

So the 172 Cup has no ABS but does come with Air Con as std?
So what other safety features DOESN'T it have???

Also, did any of the Cups have leather only most I've looked at only have cloth interior?

 

[Brasseye]

no leather for the cups if you want the toys might be best to look at some full fats

no abs, no spare wheel, no xenons, no air con as standard, blue dash strips, blue background for the speedo, crappy lightweight cloth seats, different alternator....I'm sure there are more.

Plus they say that the cup engines were handpicked.lol.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Nope cups didnt have leather either.

 

[S77CCP]

later models had air con, not sure when it was introduced.

as an option.. and it was climate

 

[Lagerlout]

It has no ABS that's why they always end up binned over winter.

 

[billythefish]

The one I'm looking at is a 53 plate (Jan 04), any idea if the Air Con was an option then? I must admit, it didn't state Air Con on advert!?

Is the Blue Strip std on all 172 Cups only the one I'm looking at is Silver so I think would look a bit out of place on a non blue Car?

 

[Lagerlout]

Silver one will have matching interior trim, if that's what you mean. The date it was registered has no bearing on it's date of manufacture, so it may or may not have climate, but it was an option made available in late 2003 iirc.

this place needs educating

abs doesnt mean you will crash, use the loud pedal less in the winter (as you should)

So true matey ^^

^^^Jeez not again! If i've seen this comment on here once i've seen it a thousand times!
This will only end in another "ABS IS A MUST HAVE IN THE WINTER!!" rant again.

So ok its still early days but how many Cups have we seen "binned" so far this winter?

 

[Gaz_]

lets fight it

ignorance is not an excuse lol!!!

 

[Ollie82.]

Too right!

Im sure everyone assumes that us Cup owners are completely incompetent when it comes to driving in crap weather.

I mean cos obvioulsy you drive faster, crash and burn in a Cup when it rains.
All other ABS less cars are obvioulsy immune to the same fate...Pug Gti's, Valvers, Williamses...the lot.

I completely agree. :rasp:
