I've got a 200 cup, glacier white with the black speedline alloys (as opposed to the anthracite ones).
You'll love it. I know I'm biased but I'd recommend you try one with the cup suspension before discounting them. Yes, the ride is firm but it is never harsh or crashy. Supple would be the best way of putting it. Although I do avoid potholes and drain covers.
When you test drive them, you might find that the engine is bit lumpy when cold but this is normal. Just be gentle for 5 mins until it is warmed up. When it is, make sure that you find some open road to rev it in 3rd gear past 5000. It shou
Some gearboxes were replaced under warranty from new. I was told to check that 2nd and 4th gears enagage properly.

Im not discounting them totally, condition over spec is paramount as I'm looking for a car the cherish, the reason for non Cup is we intend to do some Euro road trips and Climate Cruise and softer ride will be a bonus on the way to France and Italy, i can also take or leave Recaro's as the don't look so comfy for sleeping in on long trips.

Cup suspension is great don't get me wrong, where I live it's a nightmare roads are full of as mentioned above potholes and drains but when it's on B roads it's beautiful long travels it isn't to bad to be honest, and no sleeping on recaros would be a no IMO. I was going to get a raider but it was £16,000 and I can't justify why they should be that much extra rare yea I know but not another 5000 over what I got my 200 for. Storm grey is also lovely.
