ph1 172 Vs ph2 172/182

[Jamie]

Can someone tell me the trim difference between the ph1 172 and ph2 172 only please.

The ph2 172 has (which I'm interested in): Auto lights, xenons, auto wipers and climate.

Does the ph1 172 have any of these things?

Ph1 has none of them Jamie.

Equipment wise, a ph1 is identical to a Trophy (bar cruise/tc).

Thanks.

The whole 'drive by wire' thing is blown massively out of proportion. Read any review of any ph2 1*2 car and you'll see it's throttle response praised.

Get a remap and this is improved further.

Having own both, there's a big difference. Feel free to come and try mine.

I've driven both. I've made my own opinion, thanks.

Is there a difference? Yes. Does it make ph2 cars worse to drive? No.

You never hear about the DBW anywhere but here.

Agreed again, the difference between the Cable throttle and the Drive by wire is massive, much prefer the PH-1

If you can't feel the difference, fair enough. But it's there.

See edited post above.

It's not an issue. It's just made into one by ph1 owners tbh.

No-one has said it's a problem, just that the cable throttle is better.

I dont get people that greet about the interior!!

Who can honestly say they bought it for that specific purpose exactly? If you like a nice place to sit then buy a BMW!

I must say at 6ft 3, the interior/seats are pretty uncomfortable. My right knee has to rest on the door and the seats are a little too high.

but regardless of that I dont care, I forget all of this when I reach some twisties and the car comes alive. I also like the understated looks, I had other alternatives over here like Integra Type R's etc but they just stand out so much and shout "boy racer" the 172 Ph1 does not.

I have driven a ph2, i honestly didnt know it had drive by ecu throttle, so if that was that responsive i cant wait to try good ol fashion drive by cable.
