you havent seen me drive yet ;)....
Your right though defo different all round car, I love mine and havent missed my 182 at all.. Leagues ahead imo of course
thats the second car this week to have its wheel fall off !, bar the other car had a bearing failure... Its all good going for the tripod effect but best when all 4 wheels are attached huh lol....
Glad your safe though bud
I dont see how it'll decrease by 3 grand seeing as your 1 year older and have an extra years no claims, By the time you stick the 182 on your premium will prob be the same as it was if not higher imo
Im with admiral too, When i changed from my 182 to my 197 last week they just upgraded the policy for me for free, I pay monthly DD though but im sure you'd only have to pay the difference, Cant see why you'd need to start a new policy tbh
Knowsit... The salesman i had with me shat his pants when i test drove the car, He was holding onto the handle above the window and gripping the seat pmsl !
I filled up yesterday with the good 'ol Shell Ferrari fuel lol, Getting 23mpg according to the trip computer but then again i work in London so its a lot of stop start.. Good lil motors though
+1 and i've owned both and i can say without a shadow of a doubt my 197 feels as punchy as my 182, Epic car all round and russ you need the cup spoiler in your life mate, Paid to have mine fitted before collecting the car.. Looks the danglies and not a like a halfrauds special as everyone...
You'll love it.. Had mine just over a week now and its an epic car.. Bit on the thirsty side though compared to my 182 but never the less the 197 is a cracking car
PM me your postcode i have a brand new tube and i'll post it for free as im nice like that, If your desperate Halfrauds is your answer and its about a fiver i believe
Cruise control is green, Orange is the speed limiter, changing the function for mpg etc is on the end of the right stalk, Little button just push it in and it changes the readouts
5GTT conversion maybe ?? Boost pipe over the top of the head so could be that or dare i say it an RS Turbo conv as their boost pipes run over the head if im not mistaken.
On the bonnet though for me it would be too much agro even if it was free tbh
Some will remember my exact same thread 2 weeks ago, Like you i had a blast in the 197 and didnt think much of it, I tried again the very next day and tbh it grew on me big time.. Signed the dotted line and now have it, Only had it a week and i bloody love it, Best car decision i have ever made
Dont know if they are different weights to the Speedline versions, Cant see it tbh but the Speedline version in 16" is prob around the 8kg per wheel weight... 17's are listed as 8.6kg each so may help you ??
