just bought myself a 52 reg cup, came from an sti impreza & a whole bunch of other prior, imprezas m3s et al. though id get the cup as a sensible but fun car for a while to enjoy some low running costs after the other money pits, very impressed with the car so far as a run around it is very quick dont get me wrong, very buzzy reminds me of my 205 gti of my youth, overal not too impressed with the power though, miss the rush of the huge torque in the m3 & my modified sti but all in a very impressed, am taking it to bedford autodrome in a few weeks so well see, anyway back to the orignal question the average age of the cup driver seems to be pretty young, my missus is winding me up about the boy racer image? so come on how old is your average clio/cup driver?

Hello friend
Im 30, act about 15, and am even better looking that Seany
although my income is slightly lower The cup will have a bit of a boy racer image, but anything thats a hatchback does really, I mean, who wouldve thought that Ford KAs would become boy racerish!!
After lots of very expensive toys, I wanted something fun. Cup is about perfect, and given the running costs shouldnt be too heavy, its ideal, couple of my past cars turned out to be quite expensive, and yet no more fun than chucking a Cup about country lanes.
I recon for these reasons, the Cup may appeal to an older audience too, people seem to be moving away from expensive cars these days. Insurance is also quite high, so most boy racers would rather spend that money on stick on bits, and wouldnt appreciate the qualities of a Cup.
Plus that South Africa place is a bit of a dive, and you wouldnt want to drive anything as nice as a Cup there cause itd probably get jacked!!
Saw that post Si172, doesnt sound good at all. Im a little concerned that should anything go wrong with a Cup, the dealerships just dont seem to know enough about them to sort them out.
At my local Sevenoaks dealer, I knew more about the car than they did!! although they do seem one of the better Renault dealers with regards professionalism etc.
Keep kicking up a fuss, and hopefully someone gets it going right for you.

Weeman sucks ****
26, i wouldnt worry about the age thing, anyone who knows anything about cars and their image should hopefully all be readers of the great EVO (bible) mag. And they love it.
After reading the long term section, im even taking a shine to their MR2, and i used to hate them.

Nah they only hijack luxury cars here...you know...the ones with Aircon, ABS, leather.
If they wanted a cut down version theyd be hijacking Corsas
Lol, good point, so even bloody car thieves are being picky!! whilst jacking you they inquire as to what optional extras you specified for your car
cheeky gets.Ive always been a real man mate,as for the CTR it is an awesome car which goes like sh1t off a shovel and looks good too,just fancied a change and it happened to be a clio V6.Quote: Originally posted by wackojacko on 11 August 2003

I still might even buy another Ctr for the wife to run about in yet so i still can have a bit of fun with the vtec that i miss so much.
I must admit though ive had loads of nice cars but nothing in this world prepares you for driving a V6 clio,its the best thing on the road IMO.
