I would have to agree with that
But still the 182 does seem to be a great car even though i havent driven it yet the reviews are great though maybe a little overhyped. Still dont think id buy another Renault though unless there build quality is improved.
Your not a jelouse cup owner are you Jon????
Not sure I totally agree.
If the 206 had had rave reviews, then Renault might of felt the need. Saying that the 182 must have been in design before the new 206GTI was released. If they were really bothered about numbers, then 200 bhp would of been a goal (2.0 litres ?)
On your second point, your right. As with 99% of other car manufacturers/most things in life, everything needs to be developed. All cars run a lifecycle. Growth, Maturity and Decline. IMHO Renault introduced the 182 at the right time. Id of done the same in their shoes.

Nippy white cup
Lol @ Tom. "I must post this on every topic"
Funny how 182 owners b**ch about the cup all the time. I guess there just pissed off they didnt manage to pick one up in the first place.
182 Better, with those wheels, do me a favour !!!
Cup is still 3 BHP up on power to weight ratio

Dont forget to take your handbag out of the car before you make the run.
It will save some weight
Nearly got hit by a flying pig then.
well feckin drive to Mill Lane Renault in Kidderminster and look. its on their forecourt and has been for a few weeks!!!!!
And who cares if the power to weight ratio is higher on the cup, the 182 still got a better time 0-60 of 6.3 secs, suppose you are going to argue that are you! They are an even match now.
And while im at it, I absolutely love the Anthracite wheels on the 182 and so far everyone who has seen them in the flesh has also said they are nice, even cup owners! Its all a matter of opinion so why should yours be the only opinion!
I like both the cup and the 182, I just chose the 182 as it met my needs better!
They bite everytime
Deep breaths and count to 10
well folks i own a cup but as its so basic, i have decided to go for a 182 now for the luxuries, renault are paying me what i got the car for on newcardiscount and i knew the cup was basic art first but when i saw the 182 in the flesh, it looks much better with the anarchite wheels, and exhausts and build quality on the one i drove actually seems better.
just my opinion though
Guys, you wind yourselves up!!
Personnally Im happy that you love your cars so much, but lighten up a bit
Fecking hell... wish I hadnt started this now!
No I am not a jealous Cup owner. I love my Cup and wouldnt swap it for anything right now.
In a way, I would quite like leather and alcantara seats, air con, and cruise... but I dont need any of them and saved a couple of grand in not having them.
I love the colour of the Cup. I love the wheels. I love the drive. I love everything about it. It is FAR FAR FAR from basic. I used to own an MG Turbo Metro... that was basic!
I hope everyone who owns a 182 enjoys it as much as I have enjoyed my Cup up till now!
Also it would be good to have a 182 on the France trip. We have just about every other type of Clio!

As for the 0-60mph time... how many professional drivers have we on here? 1 or 2 maybe? Very few people will ever achieve that time on the road! Lets face it - they are both quick and very nice cars.

If I had the money to buy a 182 I would have! Personal opinion: Oh f**k it cant be a***d, the argument will still rage anyway! Im going to get bankered down the pub! Happy rucking!!!!

Dave that wasnt your car or you driving, I would bet 100£ that out of 10 1/4 mile runs I could beat you 9 out of 10 runs in my standard Cup.
********being sensible now*****
Why is there so much in fighting with Clio sport owners? I think it started when the Cup came along and all the jealous 172 owners, just a thought. Did this happen when the mrk 2 172 replaced the mrk 1 172?
