I got one nearly 3 weeks ago and it has really opened up my eyes to what a fun car is. I thought the faster the better, far less regard for handling, chassis set-up etc than what I have now.
The 172 (and 172 Cup) really are a complete package. They are so fun and involving to drive, quicker than 99% of cars youll meet on the road, and best of all, its as smooth and bearable as my 1.2 Clio in traffic and town driving.
I have never once questioned my decision to by the Cup.
Im sure you will feel the same.
