the Rant returns

Hello Guys how are you, been away for a while but Im back!!



Erm yes knocking around in an RS focus at the moment, which is a lovely bit of kit but does drink like theres no tomorrow.

But proved itself last night when it overtook a 172 sport at 100mph+ very nice.



Saying that though I am probably looking at a clio cup to replace it.....as im doing alot of miles and 15mpg ave is not good....done over 6k in the RS in 2 months.

whats it like, does anyone have one...whats the mpg etc?

I have driven one, low down a little better/responsive than the RS (until the hairdrier kicks in) then clio cant come near the RS over 60+ but still great value.....have been offered a 3 month old one with 4k for £10.5

feedback please.

-and yes i still hate neons, burberry baseball caps and white trainers

LOL 15mpg you must be joking?

6 mpg on track half the 172s record of 14mpg on track



no joke

Hi Tom, welcome back mate. I assume youll be getting an aftermarket exhuast for the Cup then. If I remember rightly itll make the car look like a mobile phone from above. Still LMAO when I think of that thread

I used to have a 172 Mk1 and now have a cup. Basically its like you probably expect from what you would have read about it. Bit faster than a 172, handles a bit better but without the luxuries. Mpg is the same as a 172 in my experience.

mike no exhaust for me, and yes they still look like mobile phones!!!



i think ren. came up trumps with the cup, its alot of car for the money!!



i use to have a mk 1 too it returned 35mpg which is great
