Nope, only the Cup comes in light blue mate, the 172 is only available in a darker blue, or you could get a 182 which will be available in a similar blue to the Cup.

Well I came from a 306 Rallye and the Cup has a lot more toys than the Rallye...

You do get leccy windows, leccy mirrors, central locking, alarm, trip computer, CD Player, etc, so its not as basic as you may think!

If its a 172 you want get the dark blue, or get flame red which is nice...

Why do people say that? every one knows that black is the fastest colour!

Would loved to have got mine in cup blue, but alas Im a tart and wanted the leather + CC.

My rallye at the min has a steering wheel, some pedals and a bench!!! very basic the car doesnt have a temp gauge for the engine, i just want a car that has a bit of lux about it and is fast, which i think it does both very well, im also thinking about the 1.6 dynamic, but a hoping for a 172 but may have to go for the 1.6 due to insurance reasons (only 21!!!) and insurance is high where i live. Cheers for the help guys

 

[Jon1978]

Yeah... insurance is high in HU postcodes too, but I pay only £500ish full comp, and I have three points!







Mind you I am 25 with 7 years no claims

 

[Jones]

i got a quote the other day for a 172 at £3100 fully comp, now that is a joke, im 21 yes, but i have 4yrs noclaims, no points, what is going on, i sware there must be something wrong with that, ill have to shop around!! who was that with Jon1978? Ta

 

[Pete]

Jones - Try http://www.elephant.co.ukwww.elephant.co.uk I found them the most competetive by far.

I prefer to think of Iceberg Silver as popular rather than common. It still looks nice. But if I was buying a new one now, it would have to flame red.

Have to agree on that one, far too many black and silver ones.

Renault Insurance, mate.

But play them off against one another, and you can make the same company vary their price by around £200!

Nows theres something I didnt expect...a Silver 172 owner admiting the blue ones are superior

 

[garyvts]

i am 21 with 4 yr ncb. 750 with direct line. get the 172/cup. you will regret it if ya dont.

 

[t_sheen]

22 3 years ncb £830 f/c directline get a cup

 

[Pretender]

Flame Red rules!!! Only 23 days to go!! Wahoo!

 

[SideShowBob]

Regarding the Cup level of luxuries, they are pretty well specd.

You have steering volume control, Climate control, CD player, interior is all there, so its not particullaly stripped out by any means.

Theres not many mod cons youd miss I think, and you could always put a 6 disk changer in if you wanted. The front seats are bland, but comfortable, and who really cares what the rears are like???

You may as well go for the Cup, and save a few pennies at the same time as getting the colour you want, maybe use the money you save to get some 172 seats and a cd changer (plus the Cups are faster!! )
