182 to 172 cup dilema

[Clio182mike]

I have seen a 172 cup for sale locally and Im thinking about selling my 182 ff and buying it. Would I be mad to do that?

 

[gez 172]

It depends how much time/money you’ve invested in your 182. If your 182 needs work and the 172 is an upgrade, then it’s a good decision. If your 182 is well maintained and a good one, then you’d be mad IMO. There’s no real difference between any of them, as in actual driving feel.

 

[Clio182mike]

My 182 is a good one but the 172 has everything I want to do. It has coilovers, turinis, low mileage, fresh belts dephaser and pump. It does need some tidying up though.

 

[DomP182]

Stick! Not keen on the cup seats either.

 

[Naughty Boy]

Everyone knows of much more raw the cup is....... ??

 

[imprezaworks]

What's the price?

Cup will hold its value better and like you say has bits done. Although the grass isn't always greener lol

 

[masekwm]

One is just a 182 and the other is a CUP. You'd be mad not too

 

[Clio182mike]

I forgot to say it's a ff 182

 

[imprezaworks]

Makes no difference mate.

What's the details on the cup

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Keep your 182 mate

Better the devil you know etc

 

[Crybert]

I preferred my cup to my trophy. Loved the seats even though they look shite. I do love the basic feel of a car. Loved my k11 micra too lol

 

[Clio182mike]

Makes no difference mate.

What's the details on the cup

2003 arctic blue. Dark metallic grey turinis. Fx coilovers. K-tec cat back exhaust. 87k miles. Just had belts pump and dephaser. New mot

 

[frayz]

Could have all the right trinkets but be an absolute bucket of sh1te.
Id stick with what you have, put a shopping market interior in yours and call it a cup

The only bit that's worth anything on that spec in reality is the belt service. Those dampers are toss, Turinis and exhaust can be had for pennies.

It's up for £2000

 

[imprezaworks]

Depending on price I would say swap.

A 182 are ten a penny, cup not so.

I've had those coilovers if they are fk konigsport? Decent enough imo..

Nah joking. With the colour name wrong I was being nosey.

? isn't there an arctic blue 172 cup?

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

? isn't there an arctic blue 172 cup?

No mate they're Mondial

 

[Clio182mike]

Must be mondial blue then. I thought it looked the same as my 182. I might just buy it and then choose one to keep

 

[imprezaworks]

Baller.

Where's the advert.....

 

[Clio182mike]

Baller.

Where's the advert.....

There isn't one. It's for sale local to me.

 

[gez 172]

If you feel like that - buy it, put any better bits off yours onto it, then sell yours.

Do you ever need to take 4 passengers?

Will do on the odd occasion but was thinking about taking either off the road as my daily and buying an old hack.

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

If it's decent, buy it. Cups are just cooler and will, ultimately, always be worth more. £2k seems fairly cheap. Can always sell it on if you don't like it.

Anyone who says that a normal 1*2 is the same as a Cup is just jealous because their car isn't special

Cups only have two rear seatbelts I believe

They do indeed.

I was speaking to a 172 cup owner who previously had a 182 and he was saying he wished he hadn't swapped. Said the cup slid its arse out more because it didn't have traction control or something?

Early standard 172s didn't have traction or cruise control I believe as my 02 doesnt

The Cup doesn't have any driver aids, not even ABS. Easy to drive though. He clearly wasn't enough of a hero to own a Cup.

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

Ive owned a 182 and currently own a Cup. I prefer the Cup it feels more focused.

Be tyres
Knackered shocks
Poor road conditions
Poor driver

In no particular order.

 

[BaileyWolves]

I have owned both a 2004 ff 182 and now a cup, the cup is by far a better car to drive especially with the upgrades I have now, only downside is miss the comforts of the 182 depends what is more important to you buy a decent cup should retain better value than the 182 , good luck ?

I drive mine pretty hard and can get lift off oversteer but that's the same with any clio.

If it's just sliding its arse out then there is something very wrong.

You can lock the brakes which some people get nervous about but then they shouldn't be driving ?

 

[william84]

everything that's done to the cup can be done to the 182 and like wise!
don't see the fuss tbh...
except the 182 has bigger balls ?
ask a female pmsl

Lol is that why it's slower lol
