What would you go for...a 197 or an RS Megane? (any type...197 Cup ...R27 Megane etc)

Have to say that the looks of the 'lardy' 197 are really growing on me.The RB and white colours seem to look best (white always made the 205 GTI look classier back in the day and also now with the 197 and the Golf GTI). When l first spotted a 197 on the M62 (in RB) l wanted to dislike...

I think the MI16 will be the quicker car...but if you get a good Williams it'll be as much fun.

Dodgy looks? Fat car? ;)

I'll swap my 182 Cup for your HK home ! ;)

I seen the figures and read the reviews (Evo)....its quicker around a track but slightly slower 0-60 (0.4 ?? Who cares!). My point was on a day-to-day basis for me its a big car...the 182 is just perfect.Its a full 150 kg heavier.Its almost not in the same size class as a 182. My 182 feels...

The 197's look classy IMHO.The white ones are striking.But they are big...my 182 Cup is just so zippy and good on juice if l need it to be. What mods are there to give the 197 more power...to put it on a par with the 182? I know the 197 has better build quality and feels more planted (so l'm...

I would keep it...maybe one or two subtle mods

I'm really careful at avoiding pot holes etc but l have scuffed a couple of alloys on high kerbs when parking up neat.The original tyres on the 182 Cup are almost as wide as the wheels so offer no protection.Is it a good idea to get the same tyres only the next width size up? I think you can...

I hope this guy gets an STI....and l don't mean a Subaru !

Change the steering wheel ??

Mine feels like the air filters blocked or theres not enough fuel getting through for the first couple of minutes....l guess its set up like this to protect the engine when cold ????

The only thing l don't like about my Cup is the material that covers the seats (seats are great otherwise) and the bleedin' steering wheel. Ever since someone mentioned on here that it was 'big' it has bugged me....and now its getting worn where l hold it and its only done 20k !!! :( Can the...

Awesome capability...but just looks half-baked IMHO

Ahhh...yours is a 182 Cup also.So it was in inferno then. You have a great choice in cars ;)

Wayhey...three spots in four years!!! ;) It looked good because it was happy after passing its MOT ;) Is your colour nightfire? It looked good in that light

PASSED :) Just needed new wiper blades (fitted at 11.30 pm last night because l always leave things to the last minute!). All they advised on were the front discs being worn...but its still on its original pads at 20k and they didn't say they needed to be changed!!!!! It looks like about...

Yeah...two weeks to go so will book it in with the garage doing the works van on Trafford Park...maybe even get it done tomorrow. If anythings wrong i'll be like the guy at the end of Independance Day...." Hello boys....l'm back ! "

lol

As above....is there anything that it may fail on that l should check for now? The car is just under 20k and runs A1. Its just been into Reno for a suspension problem and they found the oxygen sensor needed to be replaced...maybe they checked it out and apart from that all was well. Are...

I totally agree with that.I paid 10k for my Cup two years ago with only 9k on the clock. I guess for once l have to let the bank manager in my head rule over this one....and lets face it...the 182 Cup is just fantastic :)

Thats why l would only consider one which was in very good condition...as mint as possible.Of course if its getting on for 60k on the clock then there might be a few items needed.

It an 05 plate...3 years this month

I own a 182 Cup in RB with 20k on the clock.It just coming up to 3 years old and to be honest l can't fault it. However,l really do like the idea of having a Williams (l have owned several 205 1.9 gtis and totally loved them but always knew the Williams was better) but it would have to be...

I read its around 26 mpg...is this true?

Well the reason for me asking is that after owning several 205 1.9's and a 172 Cup and now a 182 Cup l am starting to get a feeling for wanting a really mint classic.Lancia Delta Intergrale is perhaps a bit too fragile (and LHD) and an Escort Cosworth is a bit pricey.But a Williams in mint...

As above....l see a few are up on Ebay for £1.2k to around £3k.....but are there any real minters out there...low mileage unmodded ones?

I think it was on tuesday night...it went towards the John Lloyd fitness centre. Why didn't you stop to let me have a go? You could have had a go of my 1.8D Escort van in return ;)

Local knowledge always wins....you should always get in the outside lane where l passed you...that way you stay with moving traffic and not get caught up with the M62 slip road. I got off at Whitefield..Junc 17 What makes you think that a 182 FF can keep up with a 182 Cup? ;)

Wayhey...my first real spot!! :) I picked it up from the dealers after they did some bushes under warranty...its the only time it gets cleaned!! Is yours lowered?
