I went from a 172, to a 182, back to a 172. In normal driving, bugger all difference (both my 172's were quicker), I'd not do the same again. A H&R'd 172 would be the better handling car, and you've got a great colour. Getting a 182 or a Trophy?
Work on St Swithins St (end of the shambles). Only picked the Trophy up yesterday, but there's an older bird from Malvern that brings her Trophy in every day!
Horses for courses. 197 is more capable, but less feelsome. As quick as a 182, but feels slower (refinement?). One thing to bear in mind (depending on what mileage you do) is fuel costs. 197's are a fair bit heavier on juice (closer to V6 mpg than 172).
Not rain sensitive. If they're like the 182cup/trophy you can get a better stalk (dynamique) which allows you to alter the speed of the intermittent wipe.
