Theres nothing wrong with the contis. If youre driving fast enough on the roads to lose traction in the wet then you are an idiot who shouldnt be behind the wheel.

Go to a broker instead and get a UK car. I dont see the point of imprts when you have the brokers doing the same sort of prices now. Its obvious the importers are going to have trouble with this CUP options thing. Perhaps thats one of the reasons Renault offered it?

Average around 32-33. You can get 40mpg on the motorway though.

Good price for a dealer.

Yeah, I think youd have a hard time proving it was his fault.

Thats why I wouldnt buy an import. Get one from a broker next time.

Even with the cup suspension the ride will be better than a vts. I think its odd that Renault make you have the anthracite wheels when you get the cup pack though. Maybe thats just so it makes cars with those options easier to identify

I get lot more mpg with optimax. Same with my last car aswell.

Reanulsport wheels = Something of a Honda 4x4 Speedline Turini = Motoring classic

Wheels look nicer! What are you on?

Erratic idling is not a problem on 106s. They all do that. You soon get used to the small pedals. One thing I couldnt get used to though was the low gearing which made long journeys and motorway driving unbearable. My Cup is a far more comfortable drive, as is the Valver, I imagine.

Yeah, most new 182s and V6s will be in the blue. Ill be getting a black V6.

I think the new V6 will sell 10 times more than the old one. Seriously.

So they are defo available for £21800? UK car? If so Ill chop in my Cup for a nice Black one at the end of the year.

..If thats actually true.

Unless your already in a cup wherby the 182 will struggle to keep up.

Yup. Until you see them side on and notice the 4X4 wheels the 182 has.

That would be the Arctic blue then. Yes, I think it is too close to the cup blue. But Renault have a habit of annoying previous buyers (see Williams) I think thye realised a strong selling point of the Cup was the colour. I bet 90% of the 182s they sell will now be that colour.

"Your last chance to own this future classic!"

Why would you want to claim for that on insurance?

Yeah I know, my mums got one. Its like driving a boat, worst handling car Ive ever driven. And the brakes are terrible aswell. And the steering.

Didnt you get another cup owner to drive it?

I think the 182s have stronger suspension mounts.

Yeah, so youll drive it about like a grandad for 625 miles and then start thrashing it? Treating it like it will blow up if you go over 3500rpm is gay.

The handbook is the same for every car in the range, Do you really think a 1.2 should be treated the same as a 2.0 170bhp engine? Dont thrash it, but dont potter around at 3000rpm either.

I find long journeys fine in the air conditioned comfort of my CUP. I get some slight windnoise over 70 though. Anyone else get this?

Its way too similar to Cup blue I think.

What about these Michelin Exalto 2s that EVO have been raving about? They say it makes a big difference to the handling.

I want a V6 in about a year from now. Or maybe a VX220 turbo.

Txt speak is very annoying. It annoys me as much as people who spell lose as loose. Anyway, well done on buying a Cup. Theyre a great car. I like the Cooper S, but its very expensive and still isnt really quick enough. Id like to try one though.
