22.9MPG in my 197 R27 :(

Great stuff, Chris. Thanks for the secure storage in the back of your Korean beast.

Yeh that's definitely an option.

Did you upgrade the stereo to the MP3 or Cabasse unit?

No, the window switches are in different position.

Normal 197 don't have rear speakers as standard. Oh and regarding my 22.9 MPG - Yes it gets well driven.... Looking forward to booting it around the airstrip in Devon this Sunday. Especially after driving the 1.4 RT all week!

Depreciation isn't horrific. You just have to buy well and get a good deal. Interior door handle is poorly positioned (as mentioned) and fuel economy is dire. 22.9MPG currently in my R27.

If the car you ordered doesn't have the Recaros already fitted - then I think they're something like £850 per seat and that doesn't include the subframes. If I were you cancel the order, go speak to someone at Martins in Basingstoke - mention the renaultsport.co.uk site and they'll give you a...

I think it suits the Ph1 very well and the pictures of the cars in this thread that have been posted or linked to, make the car look great. I just think it is down to whether you can live with the colour everyday.

197s in all guises are the business. But so are 172s and 182s.

That's because it is a fantastic motor.

I wouldn't waste your money on the MP3 headunit. Ripped mine out within 2 weeks. Great move in buying the car though - you won't regret it.

The 197 Cup doesn't come with the Clio badge. Lee where's your Cup badges - Can't see them on the door pillars?

That Clio3 phase 2 picture is an Auto Express photoshop. It won't look like that.

I own a R27 and occasionally I do the look back at the car whilst I'm walking into work from the car park. Like I used to do with my old Racing Blue. To me the Clio2 looks have definitely dated when compared to the Clio3, but I still love 172/182 and would have another in a shot.

Wonder if he'll turn up a week on Sunday??

You've made the right decision, Neil. So I take it you'll be carrying on with the calendar then? ;)

Yeh, I was thinking of just running to local shops in my old runabout ('92 1.4 RT) this morning - But now I think I'll take the R27 and take a longer, more scenic (if you can get scenic in Portsmouth) route.

Indeed they are.

So are you getting rid of your DCi already??? If you're trading in you are going to get shafted big time. For spec, don't bother with the Cabasse crap, go aftermarket - Alpine is a suggestion. Get the Recaros instead of a sunroof and of course opt for the Cup pack.

Imobiliser?? Is the led still flashing??

I think he should get an MOT sorted before asking £2400 for the car.

I hear on the Renaultsport forum there is some bloke selling his Williams, which has only 9000 miles on the clock - might be worth a punt if it isn't megamoney??..

Time for a change methinks...

I would have to disagree with you there mate, there are a helluva lot nicer ones out there.

Apparently my current car (well one of them) is sex wee.. I have to agree, I love my R27.

No renaultsport mats available but you can get the luxury mats which are about 50 quid, the previous renaultsport mats for the 182 were something like £130!!

Yeh mine is #358 and I've had it since October 31st last year.
