Theres no cooling off period. You voluntarilty gave them your details for a service. Even if you used a credit card you wouldnt get the money back. My dad got done for about £200 by one of these con merchants years ago. credit card company didnt want to know.

PMSL Its just a dealer sticking a kit on a 1.2 to sell to 18 year olds.

How can they rate a car they havent driven? Stupid. 6 gears isnt a problem for acceleration. Cooper S has 6 gears and does 70 in second!

They should have dropped a bomb on the place.

My S has more rattles than my CUP did.

Get one quick before they are all crashed!

This is all getting very fishy.....

How do you think it compares to the Cup and 182 you owned before?

Where are they less than 12k?

I like the way he jumped, stuntman style, to avoid taking the impact on his legs. Unfortunately the fact he got knocked in to the air and that it was on a steep slope meant he landed on his head and probably broke his neck.

Hello? Read the review again. It is clearly faster on standard roads too. Something that marks it out from any other hot-hatch.

Havent you read Autocars review? The point of the Trophy is the suspension. Not only does it handle better than any previous Clio variant it handles bumps and poor road surfaces like no other car. With the state of British roads that is a very big selling point. All the 172/Cup/182s are a...

The whole car looks too lardy which makes the wheels look small. Especially the rear. Also has a touch of the FIAT Stilo about it.

You want to test it on the M25? Why? How boring. Its not a car to sit on a motorway in.

CUP looks better, handles better, goes faster. Theres no contest.

CUP is about a second quicker to 100 which makes it significantly faster than a standard 172.

Clarkson was so impressed by the V6 he said it was one of his top 10 favourite cars. And hes driven everything out there. I couldnt bring myself to pay £25k for one but a low miler for £18k? Definitely.

I always park away from other cars whenever possible. Never park next to a badly maintained car or anything with child seats in it. A lot of people treat their car like a piece of metal that gets them from A to B and simply have no concept of other people actually caring about their cars and...

Another Clio+MINI. Owned both for a couple of weeks. The CUP was sold and then sadly TWOCd and crashed. http://www.mindphaser.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/cliomini.jpg

I got £8900 for mine, Nov 53 with 4500 miles on it (climate version). That was 2 months ago. Had a couple of people who wanted it. Most people are not aware that you could get them for £10.5k

You could get a 52 Cup for about £7500. Look in AutoTrader or something.

Could have at least put 17s on it...

Thats stupid. You can get 40mpg out of a 172/182 if you drive at a steady 60mph.

Cooper S is very easily tuneable. You can buy DIY chip upgrades that you upload yourself for £50 which give a claimed extra 20-30 bhp. Pulley changes are also good value.

I think you should read the recent comparison in Evo. Cooper S beat 182 to 100.

I think Renault have really captured the Hot Hatch spirit. The best hot hatch deal would have to be a year old 182 that has already taken the depreciation hit but doesnt have too many miles. Type-R doesnt have the steering/handling, Golg GTi is too expensive and aimed at 40 year olds, Cooper S...

Really? Contact Top Gear then as according to Clarkson not one VTEC engine has EVER failed.

Yeah, I trust my right foot. I dont trust cruise control.

What did you get for your cup?
