How much better is a trophy?

[riz]

Im considering getting a Trophy but how good is it compared to a 182 with sportlines or coilovers? Im not worried that it may be 0.0002secs slower round a track but generally as a car how does it compare

I'd pick the normal 182 over a trophy or a 182 with cheap coilovers you need to spend a fair but realy on supenion to make the setup better as such grip wise.

IMO the trophy isn't the right car for everyone and definatly not the one for me. I'd only buy one iof I fitted and did a few miles as they should hold there value a lot better than the normal 182 then aain the normal 182 as such are a lot cheaper so lower risk as such swings and roundabouts I guess.

I'd have a 197 over one tbh, the handling is excellent on them and they are really good fun

I agree. the trophy is more sought after but i wouldnt go and swap my 182 cup for one. i was offered one before i bought mine. I knew i was goin to put miles on the car and use it everyday which is why i didint get a trophy. They will only really hold there money if you really keep the mileage off them. it will cost you loads to change too!!!

I would have one over my 182... they're more controlled and the better car!

i maybe could get 6.5k for my 182 and then get a trophy for 8.5k but i do 25000 miles a year so i dunno when to get rid of it

Ok I have been a member of the Seat cupra site for many years and I have owned both a cupra and cupra R (old shape).
If you are looking at the new shape Leon then surely you are looking to upsize your car to this kind of car size/weight.

If what I have gathered from my time over at meganesport is correct, then really, less is more. If you are looking at a Leon(which I like incedently) then surely you are moving away from the smaller fast handling hatches into something more comfortable?

I'd definately have a Trophy over the normal 182 as it is the better car

TBH with Trophy prices dipping under 10k I'm thinking of one myself

It's not gonna be as fun as a Clio , but you will gain in other area's and it will hold it's value better, and remap too 240bhp!

Putting 75k on a car is crazy in 3 years ( unless company car ) i'd buy some old dog to rack up the miles in!

Thats what i'm gonna do, just ordred the Cupra :approve:

Agreed! Part of the reason Trophy value's are holding up is the low mileage, stick 50-60k on one then have a look at the values. I personally think a Trophy with high miles will be more difficult to sell as it will be one of only a few with high miles, whereas there will be plenty of 182's with high miles.

There are a few trophies with 30k+ on the prices dont seem to be affected that much.

That said if I was doing 25k a year, I wouldnt buy one.
