Spot on mate. We never used to get this bitching from the GTi-6 boys did we ....:confused:

No offence mate but that is a load of bull sh!t. You can get an imported brand new 172 for less than a new Cup. Go figure!!!

Good choice Rich. As you know I made a similar transition and havent regretted it one bit. Enjoy !

The car will be on a database with Renault so they know how long is left . It is done automatically when you buy it.

I went from a 306 Rallye to a Cup and can honestly say I made the right move. There might not be much in it at silly, licence losing speeds, but trust me, around town / traffic light grand prixs etc the Cup is a beast. I know Rich has driven one before and knows what the crack is with Cups. I...

True, the CTR is a cracking car, just no better than a Cup performance wise, thats all .

Rich, I am 32 so dont worry about the age thing. I went from a 106 Rallye to a 306 Rallye to a Cup so you can kinda guess I like the stripped out hot hatch thing. Fuel economy wise the Cup is fantastic. Running Optimax/SuL I have gone from 25 quid a week with the Rallye to 20 with the Cup...

I do like the CTRs but much better looking???? Give over mate, Id hate to see your girlfriend ( only joking ) I do like the alloys and front spoiler but at the end of the day its just a Civic to me ( ie new gen people carrier style car ) At the end of the day they are good motors, but I cant...

Rich, I went from a 306 Rallye to a Cup and ( hand on heart ) can tell you that the Cup is the sharper tool. Not knocking the Rallye in any way, it is a Class motor, but when I went for a test drive in a Cup then jumped back into my Rallye it just felt really flat and not as tight as the Cup...

I have come across 1 or 2 CTRs in my Cup and I know they are well worth taking on. Not as impressive as you would think!!!

Cups are the puppies privates. Read The Knowledge in EVO Mag to clarify this. The Mini Cooper S only beats it as top hot hatch coz its cute.

..sorry for dragging this one up again but I came on this late. Cups are not the cheap alternative to 172s. You can get a 172 for £11999 from most car supermarkets on import and I bet a fair few of you 172 boys on here have import. This is cheaper than the Cup. Whenever a Cup owner comes on...

Im getting 36 mpg on mine and thats with a fair amount of red line action. Ive heard the Cooper S guzzles gas.

Lol it was tongue in cheek....chill out man. The guy did look the type who would go for a Cooper S though...ooooh suits you sir ;)

Mini Cooper beat the Cup...the guy is obviously gay!

Still on...its a 30 min show

If you really have got 219bhp ( which I seriously doubt ) it would give you a good adavntage over a Cup, but a Standard CTR against a standard Cup is closer than you think, in real world terms.

No, I was in the bus lane for 100 metres max.. to put the blue lights on for that is pedantic to the extreme. The plod was an arse hole too...! wan*kers!!

I got pulled off a copper in Sheffield for driving in thr Bus lane at the bottom end of ecclsall road, even though i was approaching a round about and i needed to turn rleft. The glorious boy in blue really enjoyed talking down to me and putting me firmly in my place. W**ker! Ive said it once...

A 106 GTi will sh!t on a Mini Cooper surely......

Lol......thats a shame. Youll never really know when youve beaten a proper 225. I have to say I really dont like these motors very much, a bit like the new Mini and new Beetle...only driven by women / vain people. ( flame suit on )

Well you learn something new everyday!

I had a little run in with one last weekend he was behind me and we both booted it to 100 + , he might have been catching me very slowly but nothing amazing. We then came to a nice sweeping left hander where I pulled out a couple of car lengths on him. Was amazed to see the twin pipes on the...

Did you get yours from Benfield Scotswood Rd by any chance??

Got mine Jan 03. 4500 miles. £600 fully comp and protected with E-Sure. Oh and Im 32.

Clios and Renaults in general were getteing dissed by some muppets driving Cavaliers and Novas on the Vauxhall forum last week http://www.migweb.co.uk/forumshttp://www.migweb.co.uk/forums I pop on Evo every now and again but is seems to be full of people who drive Metros and spend all their...

Could just do it yourself.... Halfords sell an alloy wheel repair kit for 20 quid.P Probably been posted before , but this BMW link shows you how to do the job...

You 172 Boys dont half get all defensive when people praise the good points of the Cup. The Cheap comment made me laugh I must admit!
