Slight tangent, but the new Golf looks sweet. Theyve done a good job of it. Hope Renault dont loose the Clios spunkiness

Have the new Clios been in any magazines at all - or trade shows in Europe etc etc ?? Just about to buy a Cup Climate (well, order one), but wondered if the new version has been spotted out and about yet... Apparently, as Renault now own Nissan, they will have had quite a bit of...

Hello folks. Sorry, dull post - but whats a good price for a brand new Cup with Climate. £12,800 is best so far, but have called a couple of dealers now and waiting for them to get back to me... Want to buy via dealer, not web. No finance, Cahoot loan at 6.8% APR makes more sense! Many...

Sorry, pants post but an important one for me... Anyone got anything good/bad/otherwise to share about Wests of Cambridge? Am looking for a new Cup soon and dont wanna go through them if theyre not much cop to deal with. Norwich have been v.helpful in comparisson :-) Cheers!

Well... when the manufacturers make these modified replacement chips, they just take a mean average accross a pool of cars (often not many are used as a sample, unless they state this be careful) and set a slightly different set of values on the chip to get the engine pulling harder. I.e. they...

No, not spoken with anyone yet Paul, other than the lovely dealers themselves - but thanks for the tip off :-) The main reason being that im a right tart and fancy the Cup Climate, oKay so id only use it 2-3 months out of the year, but its days like these that make you realise how useful it...

Cool thanks - thats a help :-) Am familiar with autotrader also, did a cup search not so long back and found nothing at the time, so will just keep trying... cheers guys!

All sounds sensible to me. What is the best way to find out how well these bad boys are holding their value? I just need to know whats typical to help my budgeting and decision making.... MANY thanks guys n gals.

Oh and, how are you guys getting these prices - paying cash, or on a finance package?

11,300 - thats pretty good. how far did you have to hunt to find this? is this typical? Any ideas on when the new shape Sports come out?

Good point. Renaults response was that their "test drives are all accompanied, so the car never gets more stick than it was designed too sir". Am kinda nervous of 2nd hand too - cos many of them may have been track-dayed, i.e. thrashed! But then, thats why theres a cost saving, cos of the...

Hi guys. What kind of residuals values are you seeing on your Cups? For cars 6 months (and/or 1 year) old what sort of values do you think they will hold? MANY thanks in advance (am looking to get one soon and weighin up the options; new, ex-demo, or 2nd hand... :-) Andy

Am forum newbie - so hello!! I am giving consideration to both the Cup and the latest 172, but am torn between the 172s refined "air-con & ABS etc." versus something a bit more evo like the Cup. However, no ABS in UKs increasingly wet & miserable weather makes the Cup a bit of a daunting...
