High mileage ? So what ?? Is it actually costing you alot to run , expensive repair bills etc .... ? If not i'd keep it if your happy with it .
Sounds to me like you've go so used to it your itching for a change . Maybe look at different marque altogether .
+1 but they're thirsty.
Trophy would be a good upgrde they're supposed to be amazing.

I'd keep the 172 cup.
Trophy's aren't that much different [apart from the suspension/seats] and the way car prices are at the moment i'd say your best off keeping what you've got.

He ain't got a Cup
GP's look like a Halford's wet dream! Terrible looking things - I hate Minis!

Trophy's are far better to drive than 172/182. No point going for a 182, but a Trophy would be a great upgrade.

Oh sorry my mistake
I'd just do what i did then, and get a set of coilovers H&R or AST's.

What 4 pots you got fitted?
Cooper s is a cool choice but for the same money as a trophy u wil end up with a bit of a rotter unluss ur very lucky. Gearbox's break and power is underwhelming.
I have made the change u are considering. I had a 53 172 and now have had a trophy for the last 4 weeks. Its AWESOME! Do it. u wont be disappointed

Trophy, but i would say that as i own one. lol
Seriously, the best car i have ever owned, i used to have a FF182 and the Trophy is just different class.
The way they go around a corner is awsome, i didnt think there would be much difference between the two but there is, ALOT!
Make sure you get one with some decent tyres on though, PE2's seem the best so far for me.
And dont let people put you off by saying it cost a fortune to replace the dampers, they were designed to be refurbished, about £150 per side.

I didnt think there was much difference between the trophy and the 182 (FF). I know the trophy has recaros, but my 182 has those. So what the difference between a trophy and my car?
Sachs dampers, which apparently cost £1200 per side for fronts and £400 for rears, although i have heard you can get them cheaper, and like i said they can be refurbished.
Turini wheels, V6 spoiler, different springs.
No xenons, no auto lights, no climate control.
Believe me, those Damper make a hell of a difference!

Not another Trophy Vs the World thread!!!!
TBH the Trophy is a fantastic car and would be an upgrade as such but i think your problem is you just fancy something completely new and if you swap to a Trophy you'll be bored again very soon as, other than the pub talk suspension they are very simular cars.

Tongue in cheek Warren - i love the Trophy. My point is i don't think it will be enough of a change to satisfy the boys wan't of something new and different.

What exactly do you call high mileage? My cups on 72k and climbing by 2k a month lol ...
I wouldnt swop mine for an MCS tbh, my girlfriends brother has one, its a 'cool car' but the gearbox is horrific, its slow (as standard) despite drinking fuel like its going out of fashion & parts are very expensive.
Mind you, you dont see many on the road now that Estate Agents arent doing so well :rasp:
