Cup is stripped out version of the 172 alot lighter and quicker acceleration. although it has no ABS !!!

As Half Pint said they get rid of all the luxurys to make it lighter and more of a sports car

Type - R. Tested a 172 before opting for the CTR and I was much more impressed with the Honda. Will hold it's price better, quicker, bigger and more practicle. Driving position felt crap in the 172 and the handling was a bit twitchy I thought

clio 172, another one of those cars that I missed out on and never scratched the itch. Much like the 205 Gtil.

Since this post was dug up from 15 years ago, I had a 182 with the cup pack as my last motor and loved it, very unrefined but what do you expect, went like shit of a stick and stuck to the road very well. Bought it for £2650 with 76k on it, drove it for a year and only £50 on it

My missus currently has two cars, 2009 Civic Type R and a 2004 182.

She much prefers the 182, though I appreciate the FN2 Civic is a fair bit of a bloater compared to an EP3. The 182 was a bit rough when we bought it, but spent some cash on it (bought for £1650 and spent £1k on it) and it is lovely now - pulls like a champ.

I bet these were such a good buy back in 2003, before they all got a bit shonky.
