My sister has a 182, and jumping from one to the other, yes, the 182 does feel more urgent, but in reality they arent. Me and Kev (SBV116) off here had a wee duel last year. Me in standard 182, him in a demo 197 from work, nothing, and i mean nothing in it. The 197 needed stirring more through...
Spot on. I've come from a 172 Cup, and 182 Cup-packed. As an overall package the 197 is better. It sounds better, it stops better, the gearbox is MUCH better. The seats are 100% better. I have nothing against the MK2's at all, and would shift to another to free up funds no problem. A couple of...
Think of all the things you hate about the MK2. Rattles.... fixed. Clumsy seating position.... fixed. Squidgy unsupportive seats..... fixed. Gearstick too far away/long throw....fixed. Hard huuuuge plastic melting steering wheel...... fixed. Gruff engine....fixed. Blends too much into the...
............................ dont you remember the engineering feat, that was plumbing in my front mount intercooler on the Punto, rad out the lot, and it worked afterwards ;) :)
FTW!!!
Utter tosh!!!!
There have been no tweeks to the steering. Only changes are stiffer/lower springs, revised dampers, and ARB settings. I've actually read a few write ups where they seem to think the non cupped Chassis is more adjustable.
You got it then ;)

Welcome to the future :)
Indeed, bargins a-hoy!!!! :)
Did Kev give you those Zavvi vouchers i got for you?, anything from CD's, DVDs' etc etc!! Your lady is spoilt imo!!! should have got her something useful, like some cams or something ;)
197. Begs to be revved, less gruff than the 172 ;). The build is also in a different league than the MK2. Also they have loooads of presence on the road. On here most peeps only look at the photo's, and tbh thay are hard to capture. See one in the flesh and they are awesome. Pretty exclusive too!!!
