Greatly improved in all area's! You'll love it.

Only thing it lacks is the rawness of the earlier models, but with a heavier better built car this is to be expected.

i hope so

both great cars but 197

handles better, more comfortable, better spec, better build quality, safer.... i could go on

2 be honest, when i drive a 197 it never feels as rapid as a 172/182

yeah 197 better than a 1*2, but less rawness. easier to live with day to day. saying that my 182 has been a daily driver for last 3 years and ive put like 40k miles on it. I love it!!

the 197 sounds just as good as it looks then i didnt even like these 6 month ago wich is very strainge but they have grown on me so much lol

They're very capable and very comfy.

I've driven a few and they just not as exciting to drive hard, IMO.

They don't have the "small car-big engine" feeling that the Mk2's have... and i'd miss that.

wel i think the obvious answer would be to get my ass to renault and get a test drive. I have also been looking at the trophy so we shall see what happens thanks for the info and advice given.

-182's feel quicker
-182's are better on fuel
-182's are cheaper!

-197's feel better built
-197's handle, brake and ride better
-197's are nicer to drive
