seats are amazing, but I tend to make a decision on a car based on a few other things instead tbh lol.
Golf GTI PP Mk7
me too, but we're comparing it to the ph1, which is essentially the same car, with naffer suspension, ph-ugly interior, and theyre older, making it harder to find unabused, low milage mint examples.
true, but it's also lighter, with better steering feedback and less than half the price. As a package the Trophy is much better, but the things I cant get on with are colour (red, I mean come on!) and if anything like a Ph2 172 then the steering feel... even the Mk2 Ph1 is shite when compared like for like with a Williams. Given a choice I'd take a Trophy over a Ph1 though, but spend a bit more on weighting the steering up and respray it to a less girly colour

lol.....in the end this thread is boarderline pointless, its personal preference for everyone, its good to have others views but its down to you at the end of the day

good point, lol.
thakfully ive just chopped the 172 cup in for a williams and your right, the steering is so much better, i can actually feel the wight of the car, feels far moer confident through corners.

I know at the end of the day its down to me.I personally prefer the ph1 but I was interested in peoples opinions who may have driven both as my ph1 is 7 years old now and I would like to get something newer.Maybe the solution would be to stick a set of Trophy seats in the ph1 but the sh*t blue /grey interior doesnt really compliment them.

could the steering feel on the ph1 be down to the smaller wheels tho? thats the only diference in the setup isnt it?

**** OFF!!!:nono: :rasp:
Personally i'd go 172! Why spend all that extra money with the trophy! Same with the 182! I own a ph2 172 and driven a 182. Didn't feel any quicker than mine! why spent all that extra money for pretty much the same car! I am with everyone when it comes to those trophy seats tho

i wasen't having a dig earlier mate, fair play for asking about things before you purchase.
am glad people are saying about the phase 1 being better handling than the phase 2, but to be honest that is even shocking compared to my valver...(sorry zippy that don't help you either lol)
oh yeah well said on the CTR.....

sorry phase 1 guys, it just looks wrong.
it might look wrong but it definitely drives right. you'd be amazed just how much fun it is. And thats coming from someone who's had 2 Trophy's and also regularly drives a 182 as well
it's just a basic non metalic colour that's notoriously the worst possible colour to own a car in... unless it's a Ferrari... which it isn't. great car, but piss poor cheap paint option imo
Everyone has different tastes.

I have decided that I am keeping the Ph1.I have been out this evening for a couple of hours and I cant stop smiling. .Going to see Mark Fish at the end of the month for a bit more work.Then I am going to do something with the interior,maybe strip it out and fit some decent front seats as OEM ones feel like I am sitting on a marshmallow.
