Trophy looks lovely, how do you find the 200 in comparison?

The Trophy was more chuckable and personally I thought more fun. The Cup is a lot more planted and you notice the extra weight. The Cup does seem quicker and the engine revs more freely with a better exhaust note. As a day to day drive the Trophy was better i.e. less crashy on crap town roads and easier to drive in traffic. But I didn’t buy the Cup to be enjoyed driving in traffic. I put up with the awful turning circle, extra width and short first gear on my 4 mile drive to the station nursing it through gear changes because I know when I want to have a massive grin on my face I go to my favourite driving roads and drive it like it should be. I did consider another Trophy though but the Cup looks more current and nothing else fit my criteria.

Nice pair. Prefer the Trophy though! Looks lovely.

Nice Clios. The Trophy's look great, I think they should have made the 182 in red all along.

super! Still got the Trophy?

Sadly not, I had to do some boring crap, like get a mortgage so I went for a company car option for the last 4 years to avoid unexpected bills. Wish I had kept it though as a second car. It never missed a beat. The only thing that I had done was new discs and pads on the front in the two years I had it.

It's a real pity RenaultSport didn't have the imagination to create a similar run-out special edition of the RS200... The 182 Trophy was a great car & still looks great about 6 years on...
