182 or a 197/cup tbh.
172's are ok but a bit dated now.

cost.. i really like the design of the 172 aswell.. and theres a 2 grand difference between 172 and 182...

rather expensive compared to a vts... and you can reach same bhp with a few mods on the vts for still less money!
i think :P lol

yeh i would love a vts purely for the performance .
but it would be a beefed up vtr which is wat i got now...
the 172 is cheaper than the 182 lol but yeh undoubtedly more expensive than a vts... anyone raced a 172 in a vts lol?

dont just have a look at french cars maste. there are many cars which will surprise you. obviously we all love saxos. but if i could insure one, a civic VTi-s would be the first i looked at.
dont rush mate (Y)

lol @ the 172 is dated comment,
its the same fucking car.
as for the 172 is cheaper on insurance,
my cup was more money than a 182 FF / 182 Cup.
Buy a 172 mate,
it makes no sense to pay an extra 2k for something that has 2 exhausts and a supposed 10PS more.

the 2 exhausts look miles better though karl and you know it

I kinda like the hidden exhaust look,
much like a 106 GTi.
I just dont understand the dated comment,
look at my car,
look at Cals.
they're the same car. minus a few things.
We even have the same interior just with different patterns.

My missus has a standard 182 and my vts sits on her arse till 130 then she pulls away quite easily.
As for cost, saxos are cheap as chips to fix and a piece of piss to do your self. The 182 costs an arm and leg to service. Think a cambelt change is £500 for a garage todo. Sod that.
