It beat the old CTR around the Top Gear track. They tested the new CTR later when it was up against the Golf, LCR and Mini if I remember correctly and it was a few tenths quicker than the 182.Quote: Originally posted by dave182 on 09 May 2005

As I said in the other thread. The laptime is fine and completely predictable. I have no reason to doubt the integrety of the lap time.
The dodgy issue was the narrative which didnt really do much for the CTR as most people know that what was said about the steering was false and so this brings in to question the laptime - which as I said is legit.
the clio has beaten the ctr around many a track (including top gear track driven by someone who is not swayed either way) so why is the lap time fair?

Hes tellin the truth, i mean common we see it with our own eyes.......Its proven the Type R is the better hatch!!!
The show tonight meant sod all to me....however where is the proof you spoke about that the Ctr is the better hatch ?
Not from most of the reviews i own from car mags etc ?
Not that it matters anyway because its down to what you want and what you like,just interested where this " Proof" is that the Ctr is the better hatch you mentioned ?

Tiffs bio - How many wins?
Name: Tiff Needell
Nationality: Great Britain
Date of birth: October 29, 1951 - Havant, Hampshire
Needell started his career by winning a Formula Ford Lotus 69F in a competition run by Autosport magazine at the start of 1971. He was refused a super license by the sports governing body FISA in 1979 when he was offered a drive in the Formula 1 Ensign - it went to Patrick Gaillard in the end - but he drove for the team in the 1980 Belgian Grand Prix. Unable to get a drive in F1 after that Needell went into sports car racing, driving various Group C cars including the Nimrod-Aston Martin, Dome and TOMS Toyota. He finished third at Le Mans in 1990 with the Alpha Porsche 962. There followed a period in touring cars with Vauxhall and Nissan in the BTCC. This was followed by a drive with Lister sports cars.
Says it all really LOL
Yeah I had just enough money to get the CTR although I was going to skip on the AC. So to me I could physically see the £4k that I was going shell out and although my heart wanted the CTR, my head said 182. I just couldnt pay £4k more for a slightly better car with less toys. Had there not been such massive discounts available on the 182 then it would have been a no-brainer in favour of the CTR.Quote: Originally posted by Funkyjahooner on 09 May 2005
Buying the 182 and saving money over a Ctr didnt actually mean in my case i had the difference to splash out on holidays or cocktails
Maybe if i was given X amount and was allowed to keep the change maybe...but sadly that wasnt the case
Do you know how to calculate depreciation?Quote: Originally posted by ctr123 on 09 May 2005
the clio may be 4k cheaper but the depreciation will be drastic and in 3 years time youll get about 6k for it. the clios a big girls car anyway, the ctr is far superior
Totally agree, would definitely for a CTR over a 182 on the looks alone.Quote: Originally posted by _simon_ on 09 May 2005
lol its only a car.
Personally id go for a CTR over a 182, prefer the looks.
