I fancy a Clio 182 Cup after reading the reviews in Evo etc

Has anyone had any experience with them? Quicker than most current hot hatches round a track according to Evo.

great little car, Shings off here has one (that i think is for sale actually) goes really well and handle sweet, i forget what the two versions are, the cup and something else, well his is the other one with a cup pack? well any way if i was after a little car i would deffo have one of these

gwynny

trophy is the other version.

I bought a new 172 cup when they came out, very fun car to drive, built quality aint the best but was fun.

filthyrichie

made me car sick driving one, give it a half hour test drive

What do you wanna know???

Staffi is right mine is for sale- and its cheap as I need rid to buy a bigger car for work- 3 big QS's doing site visits in a clio aint the spirit.
I've had nothing but idiots- and that includes the so called clio traders- I think its the car to be honest.

Mine is also the best type- full fat car with the cup packs. When you start looking at them you'll soon see what I mean- the 182 cups just dont cut it.

I've had it 6 months now and looked at 9 before I got it and did my research so anything you wanna know ask away.

Muchos Funnos these cars!!!

Daviet

my mates going to buy one today.ive been trying to presuade him to go for an audi s3 instead

great little cars I had one a few months ago, a 182 cup.

Great value now as well, my one was only 2 1/2 yrs old 13k miles for £8k.

My main fault with them is the seats are too high up so you always feel you are sitting on it rather than in it.

but great handling, good ride, plenty of go, nasty inside though cheeply made (and dont crash it the wings are only made of plastic!)

Grant

Probably keep up with an S3 on track!

The question is would you take it on track Grant?

If the answer is yes then how would you feel when the Xr2 blows past you lol!

What time is it for the karting on Sunday mate,12?

Daviet

it would probably beat an s3 round the track your right but my mate spends loads of time in his car and quite a lot of miles just thought the s3 would be a much better all round car.?
also most fol describe a clio as a cheap fun track toy
which it is but 8k to me aint that cheap

Thats good to hear will need to get a look at it and hopefully the house will be done by then so you can fire through and kill 2 birds with one stone!

S2martin

I used to work for Renault when the first 172 came out and really liked the car might have a look and see what money they are as the cup was so different from the normal 172

Grant

Keith, it won't be on track cos I canny afford to bend it

Karting is 12 on sunday. I was planning on taking 1st until I heard you were going. Never been to this place but the track doesn't have any straights.

Daviet

Shings

PMSL @ keep up with an S3.... it would walk away from an S3..

One of Tiffs mates has one and I was gaining on him on the private test track after 80 ish.. on top of that- they're heavier cars etc... it just aint gonna be as good through the twistys.. especially not a cup pack car with the neg camber rear beam etc...
