Cup loses leatherette+alcantara on the seats, no xenons, no auto wipers, no climate (standard ac), different stereo, only available in RB and cat-sick, slightly smaller steering wheel (no melting thumb grips), no split rear bench.
The 182Cup is a 182 with slightly worse seats and none of the s**t non-functional toys. Just like the 182, it's a s**t car with plenty of character. Great fun until the gearbox sounds like it's full of nails, the exhaust has fallen off, and the steering wheel has melted in your hands.
Don't let any of the full fat heroes tell you any different. They're both s**t but great fun and seriously talented on track.
Car of their time. Interior s**t, built pretty poorly, not refined in the slightest. All sorted in the new breed of hatches, but obviously with added weight. Roy's nailed it. s**t as day to day ( if those things bother you) but great fun.
Or if you don't want it to feel like it's falling apart after 3 years? TBH though, I have no doubt at all that the 197 will also fall apart. Better quality plastics does not equal more screws.
A better all rounder than all of the above tbh. Having seen what you've bought, I do find it crazy that people are dropping 15k on a Clio. I don't think there's a Clio edition made that would hold onto a well driven s works, and I've only driven the early lower powered works.
Yep, its a good blend of everything, at 75 on the motorway its returning 37mpg if not more, the 197 was struggling for 27-30 at that speed, thrashing the works it will drop bellow 20 but you need to be giving it some serious boot..so in general its returning an average of around 30-32mpg which is ideal, its also far more comfortable to be in too.
I've had a fair bit from mates about it being a hairdressers car etc...then i've taken a few out and scared them in it when it pins that rather large speedo round to 150 beans..
