I dunno know, I still reckon a well looked after 182 cup looks better myself, but I'm sure the 197 will grow on me.....in time (needs to be lower though)
but as cars get older more are bought by chavs ( just witness the Scoobie/evo's:()..... ;)

Mines in my garage, I wouldn't have a nice car without a garage, period.
When I first met my wife she lived in town (2 up 2 down, street parking) and when parked over night there, I found Puke on my car, footsteps on my car and some scratches over the few months she lived there:(
I vowed...
I quite like the 197 but NOT enough to buy one ;)
They are just to high and only 156bhp per tonne, not enough for me :(
They are the new 182 though, give it a few years and there will be 1,000's around and most people will like them then, just go over to the renaultsport forums, its like...
Mk1 v Mk2 Clio V6
3.0ltr 24v
More or less the same car except Mk2 has:
33mm more front track
24mm more wheelbase
stiffer springs
different geometry
Different cams
new sub frames
new plenum (better air flow)
new gearbox (different ratio's)
255bhp against 230bhp for Mk1
18"...
Don't get me wrong, I think its great that Lewis is doing so well, however Senna, mansell and even MS, never had such a great car/team to start off thier F1 career's?
Still I do wish him well, its nice to see a Brit doing so well for a change :) lets hope he can keep it up?
Simon...
agree.... :)
thing is, they don't make either anymore and we are stuck with the 197 :(
bye bye Renault :(
I will be off to another marque next :)
Simon
same as usuall JR ;)
bring a few more over here, a bit of "V6 defending" is required...as usual here ;)
lol :) :)
well I'm off out of a "blast" in my v6, have fun all :)
Simon
Their are also better performing cars for the money than an M3, we could talk all day about this but the simple FACT is, the V6 255 is better/faster than a 182, period..... ;)
unless you know of a std 182 that can top 153mph.....lol
Simon
agree about the clutch though....v6 clutch's are s**t :(
I'm on my second and only done 15k, not sure how long that will last...
but not had a 350z get away from me yet ;)
Simon
if we all wanted real fast cars we'd buy a TVR T350..... :)
