drive thedeal are doin the full fat 182=12,086
i liked the ctr but the buzz wore off (think it was b/c it was my first hothatch)
iv had a go in a 182 does not fell as fast but i think its just the vtec step that gives you that feeling
anyways it did feel very good on the bends
the only other thing worryin me is the build quality on the 182 are most problem free if not wot r the main things that go on them thanks

only issues you are likely to have are minor niggles trim rattles etc rather than major mechanical gremlins. Despite what youd think they are very reliable. I had a phase2 172 and hammered it for 27,000 miles and never had any problems and my 182 has been fine in the 9,000 ive done so far.

arnold clark sells trophys for 12995
I think that is the answer you need my friend.
i had mine two weeks now and they are amazing. I was in the same predicament but the ctr - common as u like and dull
trophy - great acclaim, limited run and future classic
its a no brainer mate. do it you wont regret it
Although I prefer the CTR in many ways I would get a new Clio rather than a second hand CTR.
My mate had a second hand CTR with 30 or 40k on it and had a fair few things go wrong - contrary to the myth of bullet proof rattle free reliability. The Clio could very well have stuff go wrong with it too but at least it will have three years warranty and no MOTs.

looking to spend about 11-13k i know i should be able to get a 182 cup/182 new for that maybe a t182 even had a ctr before the sold it due to change of jobs now im in a situation to get something nippy again what would you do ctr with 20-30k on the clock pre facelift or a new 182/trop
You can get a 5000 mile 54 plater CTR for £13000, 04s with 10000 miles are £12000, both are the facelifted examples.
Have a look on fleabay.

^^ Tear their arms off mate.
cock mobile.
Then get in there quick!
12.6 sounds like a good damn good price, and like everyones point out CTR is dull, a good car, but common as muck an a lot of oldies drive them!
Only ever seen three trophies, two were at Trax and one today in the Renault show room at the world series!!
<SCRIPT language=javascript> Both are at the end of their life waiting for replacements and it does seem it comes down to brand new versus 2nd hand.
As there are good discounts to be had new, I would go for the Trophy as it does seem to be the best car of its type out there if you like its colour etc.

Reckion he proabably likes feedback from the steering wheel, theyre not exactly the sharpest driving tools in the world. Based on the now prehistoric golf chassis thats never been re-nowned for its driving dynamics in any shape or form.
CTRs are crap i hate them overated and torqueless, plus chavs everywhere own them, trophy easily

LOL sweeping statement? They are not crap by any strectch of the imagination. The CTR is a great car - a wonderful place to sit compared to any Clio and feels about 100% better built (but then it costs mors so it should) The CTR has the better engine and gearbox, but its steering is pretty rubbish.
As a tarmac tool, the Clio Trophy wins all day long, but the CTR is a great car and it is faster over the ton.
