I picked my new Cup up on Saturday and it is great fun, much more responsive and positive copmpared to my Megane coupe. Get one you wont regret it. BTW i got mine for £11250 so dont let the buggers over charge you.
Had my Cup for just over 3 months and its now got 5200 miles on the clock.
Looks sweet now i have got my 17s on and had it lowered.
Good fun car. Makes me smile every time i go out in it.
Depends what 306 you have got...
Ive had my Cup a while now and I really like it, but if you have a GTI6, or such like, whilst the Cup may initially seem quicker (if it is a GTI6 this will be/feel marginal) to get a real boost you need to go up a class or two.
I came down a class to a hatch, I needed a small everyday hatch for my job, I like the Cup but.... At the end of the day it is just a fast hatch, to be really honest Im a bit bored of it and it will go within the year for something like an M3 or STI.
It really depends what you want. Having said all of that I took the Cup on its first track day last friday and it was really very good
I got mine from Renault Abercromby in Edinburgh

get the cup, youll have loads of fun. I had a pug before, hence the name (306 s16), but the reno really is miles faster. I wouldnt say it feels as composed as the pug used to and is not as comfy round town, but overall i think i prefer it. i think the cup is quite raw in the kinda crude way that old hot hatches were, and i like that, but its not everyones bag.
Unless you can get 200bhp+ in a 306 chassis, you aint gonna come close for a front wheel drive car. Agreed, m3 etc are a different ball game but then youre into much higher running costs for not THAT much more performance in the real world. You tell me a car for under 25k thatll toast most things on the road, do 35-40 mpg if youre that way inclined, and fit your shopping and a couple of small kids in (not that i like kids!).

Clio Cup,
It depends on what you want from a car. It you want a lot of speed there are faster things for the money (not brand new of course) and with 40% off on insurance you could get something really serious.
If its fun your after, the Clio Cup will keep you very happy. Id say the 2.2 prelude and VR6 are gonna be similar to the Cup in normal day to day driving. Alot will depend on driving skills and whoever boots it first.
Forget the Civic Type R, looks to much like a bus, if you can do the insurance what about a track biased new shape integra type R?
You can see on one http://www.litchfieldimports.co.ukwww.litchfieldimports.co.uk
That would be cool and you wont see one anywhere else! What has been said about the Cup is true, it is a good car, but I stand by what I said it is just a hatch and although an M3 etc may not be that much faster real time they are much more rewarding to drive. I used to have one so I have got a good comparison! If I could have sorted the insurance on an import at reasonable cost I would have bought one of these teg Rs
Renault Laguna Coupe
13k to change? Theyre only 12,995 list!
Neil 82 cup .Went in one day for a test drive said i loved the car and the sales man said he could do me one for £11250
. Got full asking price from my part exchange aswell.Renault Edinburgh never had one in but they had a v6 and the sales man was being an arse, he said i would have to write him a cheque for the £24K before he would let me in the V6 ARSE.
