How exactly would someone repair that? New shell?

Private I reckon about £10k.

CUP has non leather seats. Its just as comfortable. I doubt the build is any more different as they are made at the same place.

Im not talking about the metallic pinging when you switch the engine off, its like a ticking/soft rattle from under where the gear lever is that you can hear from about 2000rpm +.

Yeah, it only skips on hard bumps.

I looked under my CUP when the engine was running today and noticed water dripping from the fixing where the back of the centre section joins to the rest of the exhaust. I also can hear a metallic ticking and sometimes rasping sound when Im in the car from under the gear lever area. Is this...

Mine plays them but I get a skipping sometimes.

I went from 106gti to CUP. 106 definitely had better handling. The grip level is probably the same but CUP feels like it has more bodyroll. Nor does the CUP feel much quicker except over 60-70mph. CUP is more comfortable, especially on motorways. The 106 is very noisy and low geared and...

Thats bull. The brokers are getting the same cars as the dealers. They buy loads at once so they get a discount thats all. They have they same warranty and you often pick them up from the dealers anyway. If you want one and the brokers guarantee they can get you one then do it.

b****cks. And you know it.

Youre in a minority then. Any (blue) CUP owner will tell you how much the car gets noticed.

Youve got to be kidding? The colour and the wheels give it a lot of road presence. Granted a standard 172 is often hard to spot but not the CUP. I know, Ive seen the heads turn.

It does have a bit of a classic status as people talk about it like a modern day 205 1.9gti. I dont think theyll ever be worth a lot of money but theyll probably end up being worth more than same year 172s.

Off them £11.5k Unless is has CC whereby it would be a good price.

The discounts are fleet discounts. Thats how the dealer done me my CUP with CC for 12K.

Seriously, Im planning on keeping my cup for a year and then if I can get about 10.5k for it, buying a 2nd owner V6. Are they likely to be available for £18k?

So what does this do to V6 residuals? And will I be able to get one for £18k in a years time :)

I got CC with mine for 12K

The running/servicing costs wont be high as youll have a warranty. MPG is also very good for a performance car.

So whats so good about xenons then?

Im sure the 160 is a decent drive but it just doesnt have a desirability factor. Its like an Astra Turbo.

True. Otherwise you could just sit on your drive with the car in neutral and your foot on the accelerator.

MG is dated and looks it.

Staying below 3500rpm for 625 miles is stupid. Especially as the manual is the same for all the range. Im sure the 172 engine can handle more than a 1.2. 4 to 4500 is more reasonable.

I think it said in EVO that the driving position was slightly different.

It seems fine to me.

The CUP has the same glass as a dynamique yes. Does your glass crack easily? Why have you bought a car with thin glass? People are not entitled to an opinion. People are entitled to an INFORMED opinion. Of which yours is not.

All 172 owners secretly wish they had a CUP.

Like I said, give them the chance to make the car as new and if it is still noticeable take it further. If the bumper was damaged get a new one put on, not a repair. And have the whole roof repainted.
