182 cup is the best IMO

The fact that the cup doesnt have abs especially in a country where 3/4 of the time its damp or wet scares the s**t outa me. Plus its only on track where the cup really takes advantage.

Plus if you ever come to sell it, its going to be tough. when buying a second hand most people want the most for their money and the number of cups being priced more than FF 172s is crazy despite being cheaper new.

totally my opinon tho ;)

everyone moans about the build quality, but IMO, these cars are great, value for money performance, easy to work on, bumpers, interior trim etc all easy to remove / work on.

Ahhh, but when you throw cost into the equation (sp?) then all becomes clear :0

(i hope its obvious all this is 'tongue in cheek')

Mate thats crazy...

Think for a sec.. its wet.. ure driving at 25mph (if ure a good driver.. ha) through a residential street with cars parked both sides.. and a kid jumps out...Uill stop in less distance with the abs..

Theres so many occasions where abs is needed.

Plus everyone thinks their drivin is good to an extent... i trust my self with a non abs car. i dont trust other drivers.. and idiots on the road where their careless driving leads u to breakin hard..
