or buy a 182, have some serious fun and forget the petrol costs!:D

which you clearly dont! The 182 has beaten the golf gti around tracks and in straight line speed so yes it will beat it around corners, this has arlready been proved! how can you put a car in a higher regard than it is due when it is winning loads of tests and comparisons out there with the...

I do a lot of motorway miles and the ride is far from harsh, very well dampered! My mates Astra coupe had rock hard suspension but compared to that the cup suspension ride is NOT hard, just very sharp and direct handling which is what you want, best of both worlds.

and me I bloody wish!

or if you have the arctic they think you have the slower 172 cup!;)

if they have no courtesy car they can ring Renault head office and they will authorise the hire of a car for you, dealer should know this as it has been mentioned a few times on here about it.

lloyds are excellent, cant be beaten for uk car not pre-registered

the classic colour, the 172 cup will be remembered as mondial blue, the 182 will be remembered as racing blue! http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1102596090__4B8B0019.jpg

Quote: Originally posted by Piers on 16 December 2004 I drove cars with and without the suspension and found the cup packs were too hard for bumpy B roads - you would notice a difference on the track but thats not what these cars are designed for. The normal suspension is just fine and will...

its all relative really, I love my 182 with cup packs and would never buy a 182 cup as I like my creature comforts and would really miss them. BUT, if we compare the 182 cup to the CTR which many suggest is its biggest rival, the 182 cup then actually looks quite well specced. Neither have...

also, you can get a dynamique with climate control, cant with a 182 cup!

I also see where you are coming from Edde but the price isnt any different when you add the OTR costs of the import like £165 road tax, preparation fee etc brings it up to the 11900 for the uk car, but then you havent got an alarm so that will be extra cost so in this case the uk car is actually...

yes, there is a reason why not. From carselct you can get a UK car for £11900, for an import you will pay £11699 + OTR pricing, + alarm + security etching + having the car worth less at time of sale + not having the anthracite wheels + having to apply for the extra warranty + having to upgrade...

Quote: Originally posted by MK3COL on 14 December 2004 Top Gear Car of the year too! hmmm, funny that isnt it......

IIFC by leaving it until 14k you will have invalidated your warranty as you have to get it serviced within a certain numbe of miles or time after the service is due? Anyone care to comment? And to answer your question, mine was £149 all in

Wow, I know somebody famous!

yeah, you will not invalidate your insurance by leaving them off but the one problem you could come up against if if the car was a total loss and needed to be replaced. If they are not declared they will probably not include them in the valuation and replacement car. I did not declare mine as...

Quote: Originally posted by Liam182 on 13 December 2004 yeah, maybe they changed it cos the old fan type used to sometimes make a buzzing noice on 172s and cause people stress! lol i have never even heard a peep out of mine, wouldnt even know its there!
