The cup should edge the 182. (6.9 vs 7.1)
I like to think of the 182 being in between the two, best of both worlds.
Yeah itll edge it Im sure, but Mr 172/182 will be sat in Airconditioned comfort, while casually operating the electric window to display the middle finger
Cup 172
Probably wouldnt see the middle finger as hed be infront of you!Quote: Originally posted by Dutch 172 on 12 January 2004

Tom182 - have you gone for the Cup suspension set up?
Whats this with 6.9 sec 0 - 60 for the Cup. You must have dug up a really sh*t copy of Top Gear for that time!!
6.5 Secs - As tested by many a car mag and AP22s across the country.
Topgear havent tested the 182 come to think of it nobody has.
The 6.9 figure for the cup is renaults own. (i know its quicker)
Same as the 7.1 for the 182 (which will also be quicker)
Yes i went for the "cup" suspension which isnt actually anything to do with the previous cup setup.

yes, 6.9 is renaults official figure, but its for 0-62mph
Having had a blast with a 172 behind me the other day, I have revised my opinions on 172s - real world there aint diddly squat between them, I think its just the handling and feel of the Cup that sets it apart.
182 is gonna be a very good buy what with all the toys, extra power to cope with the weight, and Cup esq handling.
A couple of performance mods would see it as the better car I reckon.

Wouldnt really talk about any Clio as comfort! Get an S-Class if you want comfort grandad. Old school hot hatches are meant to be RAW! Why you think the Golf GTi is such a boring whale on wheels now!Quote: Originally posted by Dutch 172 on 12 January 2004

When you drive 35,000 buisness miles a year in it, you soon miss little things like Air co, Sat Nav and electric windows. I test drove the V5 Golf, and yes it is a whale, thats why I chose the 172, But its rawer than most hot hatches even in 172 format.
6.8 secs http://www.caranddriving.com/exchange/ncrt_c.asp?id=03026415-AF78-40AF-946B-11081DBEE5DA&maker=RENAULThere
"170bhp in a hatch is seen as bordering on the tepid and Renault have upped the ante somewhat with the self-explanatory Clio Renaultsport 182."
Funny idea of somewhat these people have?

Funny how some 172 owners are still unaware that CUPS have electric windows and can have climate control.
tom what colour ya got and did ya get the spoiler pack im just looking atm as i miss the 172 and my stinking weasle mondeo dont do nout to cheer you up this should defo be quicker than cup or 172 as it has more power less weight and the cup was only liter not higher performance im looking at a titanium one with both packs to get the dark rims
