Astra 1.9cdti XP
The 172 is exactly the same http://www.renault.co.ukwww.renault.co.uk
Anyways go drive one they are pap!
Stats in Autocar versus a 172 (non-cup) are quicker to 60 but slower to 100. Cant quite remember the numbers but theyre both in the 17s to the ton.
Well id expect the 30-70 is better anyway, which is more important. I have driven one, it seems to be the more impressive of the non impressive VW chassis! The main problem is that its a bit heavy and i dont need a four door, but i do like the way it looks and goes. It also has something called reliability!

I definately want a Cupra R! So send your donations to THE MIKE WRIGHT FUNABILITY CHARITY. PM me for my address for donations
Why is everyone so arsed about millisecond diffences in 0-60 times...is that all that the people do who go on this forum, my cars faster than yours cos it got this induction kit etc.... Cars are good to drive round tracks & good roads you know My Cup is great value for money & if i want something faster (though point to point for the money theres little else then i will wait till i can buy a much faster car... You dont need to do anything to the cup to get great driving enjoyment out of it as with most of the cars on this forum, but i know people like to be a little different. Nothing wrong with that - just enjoy your cars. With the traffic on todays roads i dont know where you guys are always racing each other anyway...!! i have driven some nice cars on some good roads and owned decent cars for a number of years. How come with driving a Cup i dont get raced by everyone in a fast car every time i put my foot down or pull up at a set of lights??? Is it cos im up north or do you guys just go out egging other people on all the time...!!
Rant over... enjoy your motors chaps & ladies just dont get hung up about who you can & cant beat..... pphheeww!
for the best info try the people who own them at http://www.seatcupra.netwww.seatcupra.net

seems like no manurfacturer can make cars without problems
The quickest I have seen the R tested to 60 was 6.5. However it is the ingear times where it really shines, beating both the new new WRX and new S3 in gear, all be it by a small margin!
Im siding towards the R as my next car, its either that or the MK1 V6!
However this will be arriving on the doorstep within a few weeks, not mine though!

Seedy,
Im with you there. Ive driven a lot of differnet cars and have owned some very special ones over the years, but for my purposes, the Willy was a great machine and I hope the Ragnotti is just as much fun.
Im lucky to live near the ring and visit at least once a week.
And it aint racing unless youre in a race or rally car on a track or closed stage.
