Wink Curiosity got the better of me.....

Test drove a Clio 172 on Saturday after all the "rave" reviews about the 172 Cup....

MINI Fans can relax, yes the Clio 172 was quick but all I can say is "shame about the gearbox!!"

I am led to believe the cup has the same gearbox as the standard clio 172. what a disappointment, oh well off to the dealers to order an S.


I drove my standard cooper home, my curiosity satisfied and although the clio cup will be a worthy advesery in performance terms to the S, it just doesn,t feel very special.

sorry... just had to get that off my chest.

New MINI....more than the sum of its parts.
