Ok I agree, this is getting silly now.

Clearly you know very little about making good financial decision in the current state of our economy...lol Unfortunately you fail to understand that in this day and age it's more beneficial to take advantage of free money from an interest free loan and put more equity into paying off the...

Nice to hear mature opinion!

That is definately your own opinion and not necessarily shared by the motoring industry and my fellow work colleagues. Ohh and by the way I didn't get mine on tick, well not completely. I put a 6k deposit down and got the rest on RF for 0%. Not 21 either, an IT Professional for Vodafone at...

Blah blah blah! How clearly did you read my last post? As I have previously stated I owned a 172 Cup for three years. I have stated that it is an awesome car and love RS. I've also said that the 197 will not really come into it's own until about 2 years time when the engines have been well...

Mate I completely respect what your saying, I've not dissed anyone or anything on here. It's the 172/182 owners that are putting across the disrespectful remarks. It doesn't bore me, if people want to have a go at the 197 for silly reasons and not accept their car has just as many flaws, then...

Have I ever said RS's are not cool?! I used to own a Cup from new from 3 years. If you read the post properly I think you'll find that I have no problem with any RS, it's the existing 172/182's owners that appear to have a problem with the replacement model of their car. Top Gear and 5th Gear...

Top 20 Top Gear The Stig Nuff said http://www.topgear.com/content/timetoburn/sections/galleries/other/hot_hatch_debate/26/ It has the same driving aids as a 182!....Except better! And you can switch them off. Your excuses are lame and demonstrate that of somebody who tries to...

Unfortunately for you most ppl actually admit here that the 197 looks really phat. Perhaps you should actually go and look at one in real life. Oh and by the way, try reading some reviews from Top Gear and 5th Gear before passing your judgement. Clearly you havn't driven the car otherwise you...

And why do ppl insist on saying it's slow if it gets to 62mph in 6.9 secs? A standard 172 or 182 does it in 7.1!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-AkgPk64k0&NR=1 Fair play mate, but the bottom line is it's a phat car and I've come on here to represent it. Top Gear and 5th Gear loved it...

Hey mate I appreciate what your saying but if you read my posts I've never slagged off any 1x2 as i used to own one. It's the 1x2 owners that are doing the slagging!

Despite what some of you 1x2 owners may think my 197 is very popular where I live and work. At around 17k (with relevant options) it's currently too expensive for the younger generation. However the people I work with who are driving everything from M3's, R32's and TVR's love the refined...

I've had 3 happy years in a 172 mate, owned from brand new. Probably before you knew they existed. Point taken. I once thought RenaultSport owners were part of the same clan, but I'm just disappointed that 1x2 owners seem to have a problem with this car. Cheers.

Just one other point gtwlev....If you have been in a 197 and a Megane R26 you would know that the interior is almost exactly the same, so if you really want a Megane and are doubting the new Clio's build quality you are being a little hyporitical! Laterzzz Vrrrrrooooommm!!!!!

How old am I? I'm 31 years old, if that matters!? I work as a Cisco Network Specialist at Vodafone's World HQ and I can tell you that our offices have got more supercars than what you've probably seen in your life! I work with some of the most highly paid people in the uk and have been on...

It amuses me how all of you that slate the 197 do not actually own one and most of you have probably never driven one! lol

Hey I'm not slating 172/182's they are awesome, but so is the 197...For diff reasons.

I love my car and am not tryin to justify the purchase! Anyone that gets to own such a sophisticated piece of kit is a lucky bugger. Read my first post and perhaps you'll understand why I making this point.

Anyone that's been inside a 197 will know the build quality is far surperior, the doors are like as thick and heavy as my mums A4!!

Hey GT_GAZ the Cup suspension is more focussed but I wasn't comparing it to a 172, I was comparing it to the 197. The 197 has superior handling and has been pushed beyond the limits of what was possible in my Cup (even with fresh Michelin Pilot Exaltos) and unlike the Cup doesn't smash into...

Hehe...Prob along with many others!

No mate, it's brand new from Platinum in Trowbridge :0)

Hi GTVLEW I take it you also have a 182, judging by your picture? Clearly you havn't driven a 2Ltr RenaultSport engine for more than a few thousand miles, otherwise you'd know that they don't fully bed in until at least 30k. The 197 feels slower because it's a bigger car! Have you ever...

Respect to those that have actually acknowledge that the 197 is a great car and in time as more people buy them I think they will accept that times have to move on. In answers to the questions, I've gone from a 172 Cup because my Cup was aging car with 63000 miles (love every mile) and was...

Hi I just thought I'd let people know that I've just bought a 197. I owned my 172 Cup for three years and although it was a thrilling car to drive I have to say that the 197 is a better car. I'm getting a bit tired of hearing 172/182 owners bitching about the 197. Take it from someone who's...
