what 172 would you get?

i can afford a mk1 now but love the look of the cup so wouldn't mind saving a little extra but would i miss the air con and abs so should i get the ph2 172.

you guys know best, what you think?

what would you get?

 

[tommyboy]

FF 182! :approve:

 

[*lee*]

if only i could afford it lol

 

[Tim]

ive had my cup since september and have only locked it up once when i first had it as for missing abs you will get used to not having after a few week's of driving you will be able to no how far you can go with the braking .

as for the ac i wasen't looking for it but low and be hold it was allready on the car but hardly ever on .

hope this help's .

cheer's tim

ok back to reality on a more serious note, an ph1 cup is going to be near identical performance. i wouldn't save for a ph2 if I was going for the performance.

 

[Ads_172]

Ph1 Cup?

 

[Tim]

the colour . could sway it though . lol

 

[Dave]

Think he must mean 172 Cup vs 182 Cup.

I'd get a Cup at the price range u seem to be talking.

by ph 1 do u mean -

ph1 cup = 172 cup
ph2 cup = 182 cup ?

I'd get a phase 1 172 as I prefere them. The only netagtibve is there a bit older and no chnce of a warently plus have higher milage usually.

Trophy (if we can include 182's) if not then a MK2 PH2, flame red.

 

[Martin_172]

id get a ph1 172 too, ment to be the best to drive plus i think they look mean as f**k, also are quite rare and most dont even know what it is, which makes it more fun!

 

[Blue4Ever]

I'd go for the Ph1 172.

 

[KyleB]

FF182 or Mk2 172 for me

 

[The Hoff]

Trophy (if we can include 182's) if not then a MK2 PH2, flame red.

The lad can just afford a PH1 172, asking him to save 3x that amount for a Trophy i think is somewhat academic lol.

IMO I'd have a 172 PH2 FF as you get performance + comforts + nicer interior

 

[GazCB]

I only have one regret about getting a ff instead of a cup. That is they originally cost more than cups, yet at the age they're at now, there's sod all difference in resale value.

My 172 looks boring enough, at least I have nice seats and some gadgets.

 

[kully]

difference of opinions really ...............get the full fat 172 imho .

 

[Cam]

182 Cup mate all the way!

 

[kully]

182 Cup mate all the way!

dont think can afford that bruv...........otherwise i'd say trophy all the way

 

[Martin_172]

MK1 172, lightweight like a cup and half leather, aircon etc like hte full fat, best of both worlds! plus 15" wheels are a bonus over 16" wheels in my opinion!!

 

[Steve2004]

phase 1 172.


Less French electrics to go wrong; plus the phase 2 has eaten too many pies.

 

[Russ.]

would prefere a ff 182 myself. they may weigh more but ive never been a fan of the ph1 looks. where as some of the ff 182's i see give me a semi lol

 

[E-ray_172]

the ph1 172 does just as good as the newer models so unless you want a newer car is it really worth the extra cash that sounds like you need to save up alittle for.

 

[Ads_172]

If you're not bothered about 'newness', warranties, etc and just after fun then I'd suggest a decent ph1. If you want some luxuries such as a better interior, lower mileage and warranty then I'd say a 182 with Cup packs.
