View Full Version : Opinions please
Right, I have been looking at some cars over the last couple of days. I drove a 172 cup yesterday and was actually quite impressed with it. I went to look at a 182 today. I was just wondering what you guys think of these cars?
I have also been looking at some Trophy's...would it be worth spending the extra money on one?
Cheers

Trophy is suppose to be fantastic but i couldnt justify 10.5k + for a clio a 197 will be that in 12 months!
If i had to have one i would probably go for a 182 cup. Has all the toys and looks and there some around the 7.5-8k mark now.
Hope the willy is still treating you well :wink:
Yeah I thought that the trophy is a lot of money at the moment and I just dont know if its worth the extra money. I went to a Renault Dealer today and I was looking at a 197....im still not sure on them.
The Williams is still treating me well and is not going anywhere!
i recently bought a 182 with cup pack, cost me £7900 and i love it, nice to have a car with all the toys(leather/cruise control/climate control etc ) and still have a quick car, still have my williams and 16v at the moment
i looked at the clio trophys but i couldnt justify spending 10k+ on a car the same age which is almost the same!
i didnt buy the 182 for all out performance or to trackday it etc, just wanted a nice comfy car which is has the power there for when i need it, not just a crappy 1.2!

agreed
I have my valver for fun, i brought the 172 for a bit more reliablity and comfort on the motorways.
I dont see the point of a cup/trophey unless you want to track it, and tbh you can have a full fat 172 air con, leather, etc etc for example 7k, or a cup with all the nice stuff ripped out and just a tad lower for 8k??!! crazy - renault saw those coming who brought one.
imo cup and trophey are not justified by the price, get a 17/182 FF, cheaper option and still a v nice, quick(ish) car :)
or you can be really sensible and not but a renault :)

Err, the 172 cup's were cheaper when brand new.

i second matt, i loved my 172 cup, it was a great play thing... just lacks the herritage of the williams for me.
I'm waiting for my tax rebate then i'm getting either a 4x4 cossie or clio cup, only new clio i'd consider TBH.
Williams, cup, trophy = Drivers cars IMO.
I'd get a 182 FF with the Cup pack. In black. 8)

The newer clios are great fun, but id say the original valver/williams is the better drivers car.
After driving my own 172, and a mates cup and another mates 182 i wouldnt say theres much difference IMO.
Personally id get a 172 in white............
....oh ,I have a 172 in white :D:D:
