Get the cup i wanted to get the wife a 172 sport in silver but she wanted the cup because of the colour and wheels. Must say that when we got it home she had made the right choice, forget the extras how often do you use them anyway.

Cheers guys for the replys i will be keeping it standard at first but as with any car they only please for a certain length of time then its time to start modding. So ben swapping to just throttle bodies gives 215 bhp without changing exhaust or anything, or have i misread your post.

yeah they seem a bit down on the spec list but just going to be used as a second car for some fun i prefer the gadgets but wife doesnt know how half of it works anyway just tempting for the cup with the extra performance
If it keeps her out of my scooby then yes, she likes the cup because of the colour no abs no probs probably doesnt do much above 30mph she just likes nice cars
Hi guys new on here was just wondering what you think about the cup and normal 172 sport. I am just about to buy the wife one but dont know which is best, is the cup in limited numbers or is it just a lightened version of the sport.
