the cup is what you end up with when youve owned a sport for 5 years and everything has fallen off. A good way for renault to charge you more for less.

the 172 cup is the quickest clio sport you can buy as std. have better camber angle, wider track, lower suspension, you dont need abs weighs more, has rear spoiler & lower splitter, only came in mondial blue & silver. doesnt have leather/ alacantra seats cos you dont need them, no a/c as weighs more, thinner windows, less sound deadning, all round a lighter better handling/looking car.

172 is poo, slowest recent clio sport, heavier, heigher, looks naffer. the later 172's have cruise control & an adaptive speed limiter which you dont need at all.

if you want best of both get a 182ff. tis what i used to have


what model you got btw?
