2002 Renault Clio sport 172 review from UK and Ireland

Nothing so far.

I have got a Renault sport 172 not the Cup.

And notice about the comments comapring the cup and the Sport about the difference regarding 0 -60 etc we are talking here of hundredth's of a second here nothing else?? the cup has got stuff ripped out to make it lighter and not even a spare wheel!! regarding the difference I would prefer the creature comforts than the couple of hundreth's of acceleration.

The end of the the day its what you prefer, but at the same time they are indentical in a a lot of ways...

The sport is fine car handling everything the cup hasn't got ABS which to me is a death trap!! I know which one I would rather be in on a wet twisty road...

Sounds to me reading the cup articles probs with the interior well lets be honast I thought the Citreon saxo interior was awful the cup is just as bad no refinement at all unlike the orginal sport...

Regarding performance against similar cars in its class not M3's!!! the 106 gti the 206 and saxo... the sport inc the cup knocks them for six the others are not even in the same class the build quality for example in the saxo is awful it's a tin can hardly any safety features what so ever and regarding 0 -60 iam sorry they would be left standing and are talking crap!! the saxo is 120bhp the 206 is roughly or a bit more the sport 172bhp the engine in the sport is far more advanced in its engineering so people in their saxo's shut up and grow up...

The only reason you have got such cars cos there cheap well cheap and not in the same class just like the vauxhall nova!! I rest my case...

The Reanult Sport/Cup in its class are steets ahead of them accept the TypeR... I hope the next generation Sport will hit the 200BHP which Iam sure the guys at Renault Sport are working on as I speak!!
