It all depends what you value most in a car dude.
The biggest letdown with the 197 for me personally was the gearbox, it's awful. Despite being the replacement for the 182 the 197 feels very different, so maybe you should find someone who owns one locally and have a proper blast in it.
I need a laptop with pretty much the same spec for the same budget. I've found that asking for advice has left me going around in circles because everything that I look at gets the thumbs down from someone else.
I've decided to go for a laptop, but after having a look around I'm overwhelmed by choice!
I'm looking at PC World and suchlike, are they any good price-wise?
I've known Will a few years now, he's a good lad. Ironically he used to have a white MX-5 which helped convince me to buy one!
He's not bad on a Bmx either :)
My laptop will soon be eight years old and has served me very well, but it's fair to say it has seen better days! When it comes to technology I know absolutely nothing so I've no idea what to replace it with!
All I use my laptop for is the usual web browsing with a little bit of photo/video...
It's good that they do I guess. With constant pressure from the government to put us all in eco-friendly three-cylinder turds it's reassuring to know that manufacturers are still developing machines like these.
I've got Brembo discs with DS2500 pads and Hel braided lines which all seem to work fine :)
I'm also running the Mazdaspeed/Eibach set-up, it's good but it's hard isn't it!
I know Chris is using the word "bargain" as a relative term, but both cars seem very expensive in my eyes. Maybe it's the hatchback thing, I guess you expect to pay less for a 'smaller' car. Both are nice cars but don't seem special enough to warrant the price tags IMO.
