Ive got a Mk1 and I know we think they are the best of the bunch. Still think they are better than the 172 mk2 and standard 182 but that Trophy is a fantastic set up with a very tempting price tag.
Evo mag got it right, not many cars for under £16k to give the new M6 a run for its money. Rock on RenaultSport!
I went out on a 90 min test drive and we had so much fun, shame the roads werent a little quieter
cock mobile.
Can everyone stop saying how good they are, its making me want one!!!
I went to my local garage to ask about a test drive, they said, urr we dont have one, so if you want to drive one youll have to buy it!!
Yer, like Im about to buy a car I havent even seen nevermind driven! Good one Reno!
Go on to Renault Website and book a test drive. It will find the closest dealer to your Post code that has a Trophy for test drives

You wont be disappointed. I was out for 90 mins and he just sat there!
Do it, good just to thrash a car you wont own.......... sorry if some one might be buying an ex demonstrator!
172cup
none near me either
when i went with my dad to test drive the TROPHY our test drive only lasted about 10 mins....b*****ds but 2 weeks later we had ours and it is the dog bollox its perfect. i feel honoured to wash it
the seats have a lower back rest which is perfect for long drives! some people feel a bit pissed about the back seat but if ur the driver ur never gonna sit there but the back seats are extremely comfy its like 1000 strands of elastic wrapped around your back over all the car itself is like a aston martin / ferrai imo i hope this will persaude u all to take a intrest to buyin one and sorry to your misses if ive made you get one in tight money situations but it makes you feel eccentric.Josh
Clio Trophy
I ordered mine without a Test Drive!!! Had a go in a Civic Type-R but was not convinced. Read all the reviews on the Trophy and decided they are the people who know what they are chatting about, so went all out and put my money where my mouth is. Just have to wait for it to turn up now!!!Tick. . . . Tock. . . . Tick. . . . Tock. . . .
Every second feels like a minute, every minute seems like an hour, every hour seems like a day and every day feels like a lifetime. . . .
A red missile
Done just over 2200 miles in mine now, love it to bits, still makes me grin a lot, same as you wigstar i ordered mine without testing, went into a dealer with the intention of buying a cup on a monday, whilst he was looking at my old car and getting figures i spotted the trophy, when he came back with figures, yeah nice, now go get me figures for this. Friday i was driving it home
I doubt youll be disappointed!!
A red missile
its only a second a lap quicker than a cup round renaults test track, so quicker yes but not massively, my old car was a 1.2 and a right shed at that (snot green too - what was i thinking) so it was a no brainer for me, if i had a sorted cup though im not sure id swap. I like it a lot though so whether its better or not doesnt really matter, besides im not convinced im a good enough driver to get the best out of either if im honest.

rich[182]
looks like im in the minority when it comes to the trophy, that is in terms of how it looks, i think its the worst looking 172/182 variant yet, colour, alloys/alloy colour,rear seats, trophy side stickers,
even ride height somehow "looks" higher, especially at the back, had a proper look at one in showroom last friday, only like the recaros
ps this isnt sour grapes b4 someone mentions that, Id have any colour 182 with both cup packs over a trophy, i know the trophy is gonna be better on the road but i just cant get past the looks, for a starters it wouldnt leave the dealers forecourt without the trophy side stickers removed
all imho of course
runs for cover..........................

picked mine up yesterday - its soooooooo nice
I understand that it aint everyones cuppa, but i think it looks hard as nails
A colleague of mine has just said his mate works for Renault F1 and can get me on friends & family and therefore save 25% on any Renault
All this temptation is doing my heed in!! £12k for a Trophy! But I do love my Phase 1 172 (avec cup kit).
I cant concentrate, my vision is going blured, all I can see is something red with a £12k sign above it
Unless Renault have changed it the F & F on the Trophy isnt as high as the 182 and 182 Cup, its still a very good saving though.
How tempted are you now?
I took friend out last night whos into cars. At one point I left my braking really late into a tight right, dabbed the brakes, blipped down to third and flew round it easy as you like. I could hear his arsehole flapping. lol Obviously he was impressed.
When I had the 182 Id taken him the same route so he could see the difference. He commented on the hard ride (he is pushing 60) but it didnt bother him.

i got told that friends and family wasnt possible on the Trophy....i was going to do that but couldnt and was tempted by 182 with cup packs but had no luck so went somewhere else and got a Trophy!!
We did Sawas a while back (obviously stripped all the crap off the paint 1st) Hes got amongst his massive collection of valeting products several polymer sealants that last longer than natural waxes. Keeps the paint protected longer, water beading off etc and means the paint is easier to clean as the sh*t doesnt stick as easily. Drop him a PM and slip him a few beer tokens and hell sort it. Take a look at the results he got from snuftys lotus in the other marks section.
