2003 Renault Clio Cup 172 Sport review from UK and Ireland
"This car is the bargain of the century"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cut my finger on the seatbelt feeder (if that's a fault!!)
General comments?
The 172 Cup Sport is the next best thing to the V6 Clio. I've beaten Civic Type-R's, Focus RS' (in a straight line) and easily beaten by Subaru W R X's, (RS Turbo, GT Turbo's are a breeze!)
First time I drove the car I laughed the whole time as it's so quick, (it was in the wet too!)
I have to say it gets a bit bumpy with 4 people in the car, but on the motorway it comes into it's own.
Very reliable, 220 miles to the tank. 156mph top speed and I reckon it does more!
No mechanical problems - not a sign of a blown head gasket either!
