Its probably had a prob but they just havent told you yet

 

[D-CUP]

No problems.

...but only had it a week.

 

[Chris n nic]

I think most people will have small problems with the Cup. But in truth, most cars will have probs brand new! For the money you pay, they really arent that much trouble, although there are acceptions.

Just test drive it and then buy it! lol

Cheers

Chris

 

[Dust]

heh.

Seriously, ive had no major problems with mine, and ive owned it since september! Shock Horror.



But i have done 9500miles...and shes running fine. Except for a few knocks and rattles, but its a reno and it also has something called a Warrenty. Which means when something does go wrong, i find out what it is, take it to my dealer, tell them whats wrong, they fix it for free. All cars, wether its a V-Dub, Merc or whatever, they all have teething probs, just gotta deal with it.

Now go buy a Cup and enjoy it.

"Which means when something does go wrong, i find out what it is, take it to my dealer, tell them whats wrong, they fix it for free."

Eventually

 

[Dust]

^^^True.

If you dont tell them you know whats wrong, they use their favourite saying..."Fault not found".

I always try find out whats wrong on here first, load myself up with info/ammo, then burst into Reno shooting off my load. Most effective way me thinks.

 

[Griff]

Speaking to Renault today...

Me - "Its the same fault you were meant to fix 4 months ago"

R - "oh the seat, ye i can see that on the comp"

Me - "No, the alarm"

R - "nope, we never fixed the alarm 4 months ago"

Me - "So thats probably why its knackered now"

R - "Probably!"

PMSL - sorry mate

 

[kefkef]

Not had any problems, touch wood, owned it since June and done 5000+ miles in it.

 

[wilf]

13 months old 12k and no probs

 

[Rich-D]

After a few initial teething probs mines fine and has been for a while...

Most new cars have stuff go wrong and my mates Audi A3 is a LOT worse than my Cup has been!

Warrenty? Is that French for warranty? Seriously though, it seems that the Cups are generally a tough little car and quite reliable.

PS. Will there be a 182 Cup?

 

[Griff]

"PS. Will there be a 182 Cup?"

I doubt it.

 

[Jean Ragnotti]

Nio real problems with about 5000km on the clock. Probably more than 500km done on the ring...

 

[rickyboy]

560 miles no probs runs so sweet!!!

 

[aledw]

11,000 miles in 14 months, no probs (apart from small leak into the spare wheel well on day 2 - fixed it myself with a spot of sealant), replaced 2 tyres due to flatspots - my fault. The car feels nicely run in now, engine loosened up, and my driving has improved enough to start throwing it about a bit (I was a trackday fan, but the Cup is a wild beast compared to the Cupra 16v). Ive also been lucky with the 4K rattle - I dont have one! Suspension clonks during slow speed turns on rough roads - but they all do it...

Im well happy with the car, I still cant come up with a better (speed v money) compromise so the Cup stays for the forseeable future.

 

[Iain C]

my cup dosent clonk during low speed turns!! IS it broken?
6K and 6months old..It has more rattles than a spanish maracca convention..but apart from that no major problems

 

[christimson]

Mines just fine 6000 miles

 

[mick_cup]

Mines almost 12 months old, 6500 miles............no problems yet

 

[Gazmanayr]

Had my cup since start of September, 4500 miles and ive not had any probs with it.

 

[Dash]

Good to read. Can we please have more of the same "Ive had no problems" posts?

 

[joanne]

Had mine 6 weeks, dun 2k n its running fine! No probs at all

 

[Rallye-King]

My cup is 14 months old with 12k on the clock. No problems whatsoever apart from dashboard rattles but every car Ive ever owned has had this. Just turn up the stereo and plant your right boot and you never notice them. Will be be keeping mine for another 12 months.

 

[S3DBW]

The odd rattle from the parcel shelf and buzz from the dash, but after 4500 miles no problems at all. Car is going great and the engine appears to be starting to loosen up a bit. All good news

 

[pennga]

no major problems myself, just niggles, going in on friday to have 7 faults looked at though

 

[STICKER TWONK]

Well thats a bit reassuring, least a few people havent had problems. Not many tho is there!

 

[compocup]

No probs, apart from scaring the sh1t out of me every day!

lol

 

[TheCake]

22,000 miles, year and a bit old. Love it to bits. Just want more and more and more and more and more... hehehehe!

 

[phill*]

i know it not a cup but i have a 172 and so far no probs, although some days it seems slower than others and then just to catch me out it will sh*t me up and drive like a beast. but no probs as of yet and ive not exaclty been kind to it: short journeys, twisty roads, 6000-7000rpm for a laugh now and again at least once every small journey, wheel spins (damn knocking sounds) hard braking.. but day to day for work i drive 60mph or less in steady manner. i have 3800k on the clock and 4months old.

 

[specialK]

the Cup has 20k, is over 12 months old, no problems worth mentioning!! fun, fun, fun is what its about

 

[NickB]

june 03 Cup, 5k miles, all ok except for delay throttle response partially fixed by replacement throttle body after much negotiating( ie persuading reno dealer there was actually something wrong with it-and suggesting possible fixes!)No rattles, 100% reliable.

 

[cupsportmad]

The problem with my cup is knocking/banging/juddering in first gear under acceleration, floor the throttle on an uneven/wet road and bang bang bang. It only has 3000 miles and its done it from new.

 

[SideShowBob]

Done nearly 6k miles in mine, and no major faults.

Had a windscreen wiper that needed tightening, but thats it, great little car.
