Cup with cc or full fat

[Steve]

Cant make mind up?

Wife says get full fat.

 

[Funkyjahooner]

If its full fat your wife is after and you dont oblige...she might go looking for it elsewhere so id say give her the full fat shes after

 

[Craig]

^^ lol

 

[ChrisR]

If you can live with the not so nice seats then a Cup with cc is ideal tbh

 

[Chili Red]

Yeah, a cup with CC is ideal, thats what Id have had if I could have found one at the time. You might as well go for a 182 though, you can get them for such good prices now.

 

[Dave]

Yeah go for 182 with Cup Packs. Get them for £8.5k now and thats silly money.

 

[telford_mike]

Cup without CC. Dont be a wuss. Standard Cup comes with a/c anyway.

 

[Eddieb]

What are the major differences between the Cup and full fat. I know about the climate control, wheels, suspension... anything else?

 

[Clarkie172]

full fat

 

[Craig]

get the full fat

 

[Mondial172]

172 Cups only had Climate control as an option towards the end of 2003. Along with silver paint and a 6 disc changer. The 182 Cups have standard AC like the lower clios.

The Cup is slighty lower and stiffer, has a wider track due to the turinis and is 80kg lighter than full fat. Less sound proofing,no gadgets,no spare and thin glass.

I got a Cup but as I dont do trackdays or 1/4s I wish Id got the full fat now.

 

[Jim172CUP]

yeah but it comes with the nicest wheels and the best colour. well thats why i got mine.

 

[CUPPER]

^^^ thats why i got mine aswell. It looks the part, which is nice.

 

[tiff_needle]

For me there is no question, I would get the cup everytime even though I think the colour sucks

If you are a serious driver and savour everytime you go out then the clio cup is for you. If you arent bothered about that and just want a nippy car to get from a to be then get the 172

thats alright, get a silver cup !!

The only thing i dont like on cups are the seats. Also i wasnt aware that they had a/c (i knew climate was an option) just never new about air con as standard.

 

[Jim172CUP]

a/c was only available on the very last ones

 

[blink172]

Depends on your taste. Ive got a chubby 172 and a good friend has a Cup, both can be very quick around a track with a decent driver.

Personally i wussed out when given the choice of both new, went for the Leather, Climate, Cruise, Sound Proofing, Thicker Glass and quieter ride.

Others went for a stripped, noisy, slightly quicker Cup. Some swear that its a million times quicker, but it isnt imo.

Drive both and then choose

That why I bought it too but imo a black 172 with turinis is just as nice

 

[Ricardinho]

buy a nice 5 series if you want full fat.

was it ?? thats not what Mike says?

 

[Mike@Rentech]

full fat, the only exception is the Trophy IMO.

Keep the wife happy and go for full fat, but some cups are a bit mental
