Another one missing the point completely...ABS does not stop you quicker, it allows you to maintain steering control if you've mashed the pedal so hard you'd have locked up. That's all it does.

^^ yeah thats the main function but.. it also stops you in less distance than if the wheels were to lock up in the wet

the diff in my two may also be mileage related, they are both used reg and oil changed often - a key principle i feel. Also frequent use i think gets the engine loosened up as well.
Cup might be lighter but that usually on means more pace when at silly speeds imo. Anyway - i like both for different reasons and glad i have the choice of the two
172 Cup
I opted for the Cup because of it's reputation and the fact that's it lighter and something a bit different. You don't see as many as FF 172s. The lack of ABS and the fact that so many people have written them off didn't put me off. I saw it as a bit of a challenge to 'tame the beast' and have a more ingrossed driving experience.
It's certainly the best looking RS too.. Mmm.. Mondial/Turini

by that logic all Renault's are paupers cars, they cost f**k all and the prices drop like hell 5 minutes after driving it away from the dealership... much like your entry level pauper Audi that are rare on the road because they look turd and fortunately there are only a minority of people with equally bad taste as yours :clown:
MKIII 138
my dads just bought a £34,000 audi a4 avant with a 3.0 TDI 230bhp quattro setup and full gangsta tints, sport seats DSG dual clutch gear box with sequential shift and sports mode + 18" RS4 wheels etc.. its the most incredible piece of engineering ive ever seen but fuk me its dull.
btw i agree, the interior of the 172cup is so shite i almost cant bear it. i have to get some alcantara door cards and sports seats or il go mad.

I've had Renaults in the past,only just sold the 172 which I owned for 3 years, 4 months ago to keep the cash banked for the new RS in the summer.As for the Audi-I bought it for the missus and our nipper.
Believe me I have had more trips back to the dealer with the A2 than I ever had with the clio.
I wasn't slagging Renault's off you prick,just the fact that full fats are better than cups.IMO.

JACKO CUP 172!
cups r quality! u ff boys r just jelous coz we got turinis!?
Clio Williams No123
Cups are fun, but not that rewarding to drive, its all just point and click. Williams is better, just.
I learnt to drive before ABS and subsequently feel quite at home in a car without it. Without hopefully sounding all superior i feel a bit sorry for you guys that have come to rely on it because it has always been there and you don't know any better.
It isn't on race cars for a reason. It's doesn't make cars better, it just makes ordinary drivers safer in everyday situations. In performance cars it is not an advantage, hence why in motorsport it is not present.
