Does one 5p coin get crashed more in winter that the other one?

I just swapped the other way and prefer my cup 172. But to be honest I wouldn't have swapped if it wasn't that my first car was a bit buggered. Why do you want to swap?

Lol at wet dog
If its mainly a road car then the comfort and aircon and xenons etc are a lot nicer than on the poverty spec cup.
If its for track, stick with what you have.
id prefer the FF 182 , like said xenons leather climate control abs , maybe small but helps with general driving , unless your a WRC champion ? then the dog smelling car is for you !!
I havent missed the FF interior in my 182 cup one bit.

Im still tempted to swap to the FF interior but would be one of the last things i do tbh!
Exactly the same for me. It's number 99 on my to-do list.
I've always found the 172 Cup interior more supportive/comfy than the FF interior. Personally never seen the attraction with Xenons either, given that they go wrong it's another costly expense to repair when they don't make that much of difference in brightness.
Only thing that's good on the 182 is cruise control.
Everything else just looks prettier, does that interest me? No.
So I'd stay with the Cup.
P.S. I've got a mint 182 interior with doorcards if some people in here are interested.

Also agree Tunst.
Indeed, did a 350 mile drive to Scarborough in my old standard Cup. No stopping, got out feeling pretty good. Driven to Donnington in my 182 (120miles) in one go, got out with a numb arse and feeling pretty stiff.
The cup seats are more couch like, similar to the Williams seats. Now they are comfy seats!

they are the same seats aren't they?? Just cloth versions? Also I found the lack of abs genuinely dangerous in my cup.. I've had other cars without abs but the cup seemed to lock up way to easy in the wet.. Nearly killed me a few times..
You'd think so, but they can't be. With the cup seats you get no airbags so thus one difference.
Dangerous without ABS. Of all the non ABS cars I've owned, the Cup was and still is the most versatile on the brakes. Guessing its down to poor tyre choice, not driving to the conditions, driver.
Same as what i was thinking??? Lol

This is an age old argument. People who own either type will say they are the better car, most of the time anyway.
I've owned both. So I feel I can comment accordingly on both.

Weve put trendlines into two of our current 172s I think they really suit the car, and like Knuckles said, you are just paying a deposit and then renting them for free essentially, as you will always get your money back if you look after them.

I am only tempted because I do a lot of motorway miles and was thinking about getting the FF with possibly a custom 6 speed box for motorway cruising. I love my cup especially since I had the coilovers done the only thing I need to top off the handling is some decent tyres. I think the fact that the brakes lock up meow and again keeps you on your toes and helps you enjoy the drive everytime you get in it but the possible money gains through mpg are very tempting along with the cruise control and aircon.
