182 Trophy Autocar 5 July 05

World’s Greatest Hot Hatch
One of the greatest enthusiast’s cars on sale in the Uk
A car that I suspect we’ll be talking about in years to come
Best value performance car on sale in the UK today
What a car. What a bargain.
There’s a Clio shaped space in our ideal garage

Autocar Top Ten New Cars of 2005

Understand the Trophy, and you understand performance cars

182 Trophy Evo Sept 05

Best Hot Hatch ever
On these blissfully empty and bone-dry roads the Trophy is awesome
A match for the most powerful and exotic cars in the world

182 Trophy Car Sept 05

Outstanding ride and handling
It’s a car built by people who not only know what they’re doing but why they’re doing it
You’ll regret it if you don’t
It’ll eat Boxsters for breakfast
It’s vicious and unremittingly quick

Test Drive Sept 05

Buy one before it’s too late
No other hot supermini is as fun or as capable
Fiesta ST doesn’t come close for visceral thrills, nor is the Mini Cooper S quite as keen to interact with its driver…In other words, the closest to perfection
Marks the end of an era for the true pocket rocket[/u]

Thanks for signing up Jeremy. So many excellent reviews from the magazines. I must go and get Car and Test Drive.

Any idea if Top Gear are going to feature it at all? (mag or next series of TV program)

 

[Jeremy]

Car and Test Drive are just 1 page reviews. It's been in Autocar twice.

It may appear in the October edition of Top Gear but is unlikely to be on the TV programme as they'll all have sold by the time it's on screen again

Am i right in thinking that it is in EVO.

Cant find the mag anywhere to confirm this. Already got the Autocar reviews and the Test Drive. All i have to go on at the moment is what everyone else has said about the car, i havent even test drove the car yet, just ordered it and hoping for the best LOL.

Me all over really act first think later LOL

 

[Nik]

Yep, it's in this months Evo, it's on the front cover with the BMW M6

"The Clio 182 and previous 172 are both great versions of Renault's hatch. But the Trophy is noticeably better" MP
