Looks a god buy mate. I would deffo pay for a AA check or something just to make sure the car is all legit, when spending 16k another £200 not going to make a big difference. If all thats fine go and buy her!!!!
Welcome to Cliosport
No experience but it looks really nice. Its been on pistonheads a while now, seems a decent price for the age and mileage.
I would consider emailing them or phoning them to get more information? such as condition, does it have full renault service history, condition of...
I test drove a 182 at 21 and the 197 when I was 23
I guess its upto the individual dealer to decide whether or not to let you drive the car or not. I can see it from their point of view as they must get annoyed when young lads just want to drive the car with no intention of buying the problem...
Spot on if you can live without the leather then the cup is fine. The trophy is good but they are a little more expensive (but hold their value better) but you have to have them in red
basically the full fat 182 has more toys (leather, xenons, climate control) where the 182 cup doesnt (it does have air con though). Also most 182ff came with the cup sus and spoiler but this was only if they were specified as an extra, the 182cup came with these as std.
The 182 cup weighs...
No they wont but they can only help, and you must have a bad memory as it was very warm last summer. I always find the people who say "you only use air con two weeks of the year" are the people who dont have it, its quite funny!
I dont think its a case of not being able to live without stuff, i think the question is why would you want to live without them?
For example why on earth would someone not want air con unless they enjoy sweating cobs on a hot summers day and as for the extra safety elements I think ill take...
Welcome to Cliosport, good choice. If its a met paint then its arctic blue and if its non metallic then its racing blue.
So how does it compare to the 106GTI?
I dont doubt the cup is slightly faster but as a everyday car it is missing to much. the interior is awful, it doesnt have air con and the fact that it doesnt have ABS brakes doesnt reassure me either. Thats why I think the 182 with both cup packs is the perfect compromise the extra 10bhp helps...
Some one once suggested on here that all the best enignes where "cherry picked" for the 172cup, LOL
Lets be honest the Cup is just a cheap version of the 172, which has overall benefits of pub bragging rights where you can say my car is 0.2 secs faster to 62mph and many disadvantages over the FF
Yes they are standing start times, also note that if he was up the arse of the 182 as he put it how could he possibly be going faster? If he was going much faster off the roundabout then he would have had to break(to a similar speed to the 182) so he didnt run into the back of the 182, then when...
