clio 182 cup vs 172 cup

[easylife]

Whats the 182 with cup pack got that the 172 cup hasnt? From what i can see it is slower and looks pretty similar except for the exhausts.



What do ya think i should do- get the 172 cup or save more and go for the 182 with cup pack etc. I am not that interested in the toys- it is performance and fun i am after.....

 

[dirtydingo]

get the 182 as you will always wonder what the better 182 is like when you see one

 

[Dave]

raw driving experience = 172 Cup

raw driving experience plus toys = 182

 

[Max172cup]

Drive them both, then decide.

 

[182_blue]

if you not bothered by the toys then its 172 cup, very close perfomance, and probably well over £3000 cheaper

 

[Lagerlout]

Aye, not a gnats c**k in it performance wise, so if your not bothered by the luxurys, its a 172 Cup everytime.....

 

[MAC30L]

Cup is more exclusive IMO

 

[Dash]

Do you like yellow cars?

 

[andy_leitch]

get a cup because then you get it in nice mondial blue

However, the seats in the cup are possibly the most minging things ive ever seen.

Not much in it. I dont dislike either however i bought a cup and thats the right choice for me. If you want a quick car qith gadgets by the 182 cup if you want a quick exclusive car get the cup. I know theres a lot of cups on cliosport but they are more exclusive. Dont think id buy a 182 as i cant see the point they are very similar cars.

 

[Neil82]

The 182 Cup only has manual air con (equipment wise) over the original Cup so I dont see where this "gadgets" thing is coming from.

 

[tumbleweed]

How is the cup faster than a 182cup or 172?...i have raced both the 182cup and 172cup in my normal 172 and there is nothing in it...

If 172cups are so fast, why do most owners then have to go out and get a chip and airfilter upgrade is that to just make sure?

 

[Slayer]

The cup is just faster on paper IMO. However imagine your 172 is 3 up racing against a 172 that is 2 up. Who do you think would have the advantage and win??

 

[JonC]

Its started...it had to happen sooner or later.....the 182 is now the new "CUP", as the CUP was to the 172, as the 172mk2 to the 172mk1 and the 172mk1 was to the Clio Williams etc etc.......When and if Renault manage to shoe-horn the new Megane RSs 2ltr turbo in to the Clio, then that will be next "CUP"

 

[JonK]

182 for me - ABS & stability control has saved me twice now and we havent even hit winter yet!

 

[matlow]

^^^^now youve gone and started me thinking about winter. motorbike gets put away........clio becomes a hedgebound missile..........sigh, hope its a mild one

 

[P3MBL]

or you could just wait for the 182 Cup. all the performance of the 182 with the lightweight ability of the cup. and it is coming! just havent been told when.....or how much

 

[Adams_16v]

id wait for the 192 cup

 

[Wezzie]

If you have seen pictures of the new shape clio I wouldnt wait for the next clio id buy a different car alltogether. I like my cars to be good and fast but i wouldnt pay wot renaultn would want for there new shape clio unless it was a megane engined one.

Lol, yer that huge huge weight saving of the 182 Cup over the normal 182 will put it in a different league.

 

[182 sport]

there both the bollox

Theres talk of a 2ltr 200bhp 160lbft Clio Sport in Autoexpress recently thats due sometime next year I think. But then you could wait all your life waiting for the next best thing. If want to live for today, get a 182 with Cup options.

I started from a Clio1.2 RN, then to XR3i, then to a Fiat Bravo HGT, Fiat Coupe 20vTurbo then to a 172 (later added Eibachs) to now my current car Audi A4 1.8T Quattro Avant chipped to around 211-215bhp. And without a doubt, the Clio 172 was the best drive and most entertaining of the lot. Maybe when my babies have grown up Ill get a 2nd hand one.
