Please Help! 182 or 172 CUP

[swank1982]

Hi, I am looking buy either a 182 or 172 for my girlfriend.

On the one hand I have seen a 04 182 with both cup packs which is just under 7k. Has had 2 owners and FSH.

On the other a 53 reg 172 cup (with climate) This is around 5500. Has only 1 owner and FSH.

Both these cars have done around 30k and are the same colour.

Any views/advice from experienced cliosport owners would be very much appreciated! I reckon both are competitively priced, just don't know which to go for (172 local, 182 200 miles away!)

the Cup is Mondial Blue

the 182 will be Arctic Blue

i'd choose the Cup!

Don't let a woman drive a cup!

Id say unless he is a car enthusiast take the 182 as it has abs and a few more creature comforts

if its for your mrs then i'd either go for a 182 with cup packs or a 172ff.

I reckon she could handle a Cup, she had a Integra Type R (DC5) 18 months ago, and I let her have a spin in my EVO VI a few years back (hard to get rid of, still hurts)

not much difference tbh, not like its that muhc faster, the others are just a bit safer
