I had 182, 172, 197 and now another 172. but it was a good move, the 197 is improved in all areas except straight line punch. defo nice all round step up.

defo not. You just get the speedlines.

yeh and evo timed the 200 0-100 in 16.7 secs - not bad!

Does anybody have any pictures of the front? I can't find any... The thing I don't like on the 200, is the black grill. However want to see how it all looks as one colour....

all my renaultsports (4) have been fault free - i think i must have been lucky though!! my only complaint on the mechanics front, is the cost of bits like brakes, cambelt changes etc. Happy days other wise. I have had a type r before, that actually broke! but again, prob 1 in a thousand. It...

only niggle my 197 had was slightely rattley drivers window, was cool otherwise in 10k miles i had it

I like the idea on the R26r and im sure its fantastic to drive - just shame it looks so crap. The red wheels look dreadful. Why not black? When I create silly joke cars on Forza 2, I put red wheels on them!

Autocar lost all their good testers apart from colin goodwin, to drivers republic. Chris harris was there main guy and so much better. Started up their own site.
