Ive not ordered climate on mine...I think Ive managed OK for the last 10 years without it...Ill manage for a few more. EVO magazine is the exact reason Ive got one on order...if its good enough for them it cant be all bad!

Now, before I start let me just state for the record that to date, Ive never even sat in either of these, let alone driven them. Right then, Ive got a Cup on order (should be with me by the 3rd week of September) and find myself continually trying to imagine what its going to be like. Having...

Chichester, West Sussex - 4 weeks and counting til I can say goodbye to the Ford barge and jump in the shiny new Cup.

No covers on the Speedline Turinis on the Cup. From the pictures Ive seen it doesnt look like any of the bolts are "different" which would suggest one of them locked...

So far Ive picked up what I need to look out for when taking delivery of my Cup in September (soooo long to wait!)...missing splitter, "Cup 172" badges, tool-kit, tyre foam. Is there anything else that Renault forget on a regular basis? Also, looking through the brochure, theres no mention of...

Jas I have very close links with a promotional merchandise company who do badges, magnets, clips, enamels (like your current keyrings) and so on. If you want to try an alternative mail me and Ill pass on their details.

I really couldnt care how a car looks...its how it drives, and how it rewards the driver that matters to me. I quite happily have a butt ugly rust bucket but if it drove like a 172 Cup, more fool anyone who wanted to have a go! I can see that looks matter to a lot of people, and for younger...

Once...never again...almost went through the windscreen! My left leg/foot is so used to the sort of pressure need to depress the clutch, that getting the finesse needed to press the brake would take a lot of practice. Evo, in their "track car of the year" feature said that it helped when driving...

"The 172s pedals are built for it." Music to my ears...

It matches the engine revs to the next gear. When youre accelerating the revs naturally fall between changes so that the engine matches the gear and road speed. When changing down, foot on the clutch, revs fall, change gear, clutch up, you get thrown forwards as the engine then has to spin up to...

Spaced for H&T? Whats critical is not so much the space between the pedals, but the difference in height when youre braking hard. Ideally under hard braking I want the brake pedal to be 1/2 inch higher than the throttle, so that I can then roll my foot off to the right to give the engine a...

At what revs does the change light come? Is it constant or does it blink/flash? Is it in your line of sight if youre "making progress"? I used to really enjoy getting my Pug 306 out of shape around motorway roundabouts, lift-off, the back steps out, and it tightened the line up nicely. So I...

This is killing me! Ive got to wait until the third week of September before I get my Cup, until then Im stuck in my overweight Mondeo, and to cap it all my friends just taken delivery of a Leon Cupra R. The Cup...never sat in one, never even test driven a Clio, dont want to until mines...

Good answer! Id not thought of that. Anyone else?

...but I was sat in bed last night drooling over the Cup brochure (six weeks and counting before delivery!) and re-reading (for the 100th time) the Evo review where they pitted the Cup against the RS, when I saw in the specs that the Cup has "smart wipers". I know theyre not automatic as on the...

Hi All…first post here…bear with me on this… First there was a Triumph Toledo (anyone remember them?). Absolutely knackered rear suspension with nothing in the way of damping meant at a standstill you could press the boot down and "bounce" the back wheels off the road. It taught me huge...
