Clio 182 Trophy ?

[Greg0r]

I know its french, but im really tempted in getting one as my next car...

i want something newish, quite fast, good handling

im not going to be able to get insured on a evo or scoob for a couple of years yet..

what you think?? really like them in the orange colour...

Another possibility is a integra DC5, but again think i will struggle to insure

great handling, with magical shocks (their ride is amazing for the sort of body control they provide) and relatively fast (quite torquey considering)...the interior is just made out of crisp packets though, and the steering sucks

Integra dc5 you wont regret it very nice car friend has one, very enjoyable to drive aswell.

 

[Greg0r]

yeh i wasnt exactly in love with the interior, do really like the trophy seats tho

 

[Toby@ToyTuning.com]

Yeah they are great cars, certainly on par wtih the DC2 handling wise..

Hmmm i think i would go for the 172, its lighter an does 0-60 faster and they are alot cheaper to buy.

 

[Greg0r]

they aint faster than a 182 trophy... i just want the trophy seats

As much as it pains me to say it, short of getting a Honda Integra or Civic Type-R, you aren't going to find a better handling FWD hatch than a Clio Sport.

If you look for a Mk1/2 172 and avoid the new stuff, you'll get one for peanuts.

Its French mate ... someone had to say it

mint cars mate looked into getting a 172 and the 182trophy is stunning.

182's are mint little motors so much fun to drive but quite high insurance for wat they are

my mate has a 172 cup and we used to go to the cliosport.co.uk meets at westerham some of those cars really shift.

dont get the cup cos i comes without abs and has turini wheels

get the trophy 182 only as i has the 8 spoke anthracite sexual rims and the twin exhaust, and has extra handling bits

 

[Gee]

Mint cars, but WILL fall a part.

 

[Chris@CCM]

cracking cars mate . i work for renault and drive a good few 172s and 182 and there mighty crack . tbh any renault sport has never give much bother in my place

 

[Neal]

would be a good choice imo

 

[Dan3SGTE]

love the 182 trophy, i must admit....

a friend of a friend has one of these, pretty quick, doesnt match my car but still goes very well and my god they handle well, they have 2k worth of suspension setup on them and the french have thought long and hard about the suspension they have a near perfect balance, brillant car even if it is french.
