Evening sailor! Need to catch up soon, I want to compare your 172 Cup to my 200 Cup.

As per title.

My idea of a meet probably differs from other's. I don't personally see the point in standing around in a cold car park looking at French clutter. If a trackday or food/drink are involved, I'll be a little more receptive ;)

I'm from Hertford. I have a blue 200 Cup. Meet wise, I could think of nothing worst than standing around in the Gascoyne Way multistory car park lol

Is the seller based in Birmingham and does it have black wheels? Edit, 99% sure it is. Worth registering and reading these two threads... http://civictype-r.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=224176&hilit=racing+blue&start=60 http://civictype-r.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=129&t=224964 Long...

A Clio, visually stunning..? :S

Advanced car control training.

Accord Type R? Civic Type R? - EK9? EP3? FN2? FD2? Integra Type R? - DC2? DC5? NSX Type R?

I actually laughed out loud at this. The 182 has a dreadful interior compared to a DC5. By the way, noticed you location was Hertford. Were you parked in Hartham gym car park this evening? Noticed a black 182 parked two spaces in front of me.

The DC5 is a great car and much better than a 182 in my opinion. Engine and gearbox are superb, interior is a nicer place to be etc. Insurance is a little steep though. A slightly more diluted driving experience compared to the DC2 but as a road car, better.

I'm really happy with my Racing Blue. If it hadn't of been the free colour, I still would have specified it.

27 Clio 200 Cup (& Integra Type R track car)

It barely registers on my 'care' radar. Back in 2002 when I was 19, Renault offered free insurance to drivers aged 19+ and all of a sudden there was an explosion of Clios on the road. I was one such driver in a sea of black 1.2 Dynamiques. Did I care then? No. Do I care now with my 200 Cup...

I don't disagree, I had a Civic Type R @ 21, Focus ST @ 23, Impreza STI PPP @ 24. Now sold them for a house deposit and starting from scratch with a Clio 200. I perhaps think looking back now I should have not wasted money on fast cars, numerous trackdays, several Nurburgring season tickets...

People with no mortgages/rent, no commitments etc...

What are you comparing this to? I found the gearbox mediocre and seating position quite high.

Could have got a Megane 250 Cup for £1995 & 24x£199 that a few months ago...

I'm tight so advertised my previous cars where it was free; PistonHeads and the relevent owner's forum. Civic Type R sold to the second viewer (first was a test pilot who I told to leave) via the owner's forum. Impreza sold via PistonHeads to the first viewer although had a lot of time wasters...

For those of us who don't want to modify their car, there's little difference in straightline performance you'll find on the road. The VXR, being more torqey will feel the quicker car though. Vauxhall's lifetime warranty is also very appealing for the potential owner. Laps times and...

Don't get me wrong, I would like the Cup spoiler but it's not worth £200 a year.

So I'm mental for not specifying Speedlines and spoiler on a car I'll keep for two years? I'd rather spend my £400-600 elsewhere.

Not the deal I got with Lookers. I got mine for £695 deposit and 24x £199, no other fees. My total will be £5471 over two years.

Was your home a cash purchase too?

Deal expires on the 30th Sept, today.

Directline were double the price of my cheapest quote.

You can add as much as you like on the car. Either pay for them up front with a big deposit to save on interest and retain the £199 per month or add the options to the finance and pay £xxx a month. I decided to only add a/c purely for my comfort as I intend to give what's left of it back after...

Performance... From a 1.2?

It was a good car but had a hard two years in my ownership and I decided to sell shortly after the warranty expired.

Joined a few years ago but never got around to buying a Clio. Ordered a 200 Cup in Racing Blue last week. I wanted something sensible, fun and cheap to run. The 200 seemed to fit the bill. A brief car history that led to the Clio... Civic Type R Focus ST Impreza STI PPP Integra Type R...
