197 on my driveway!!

[Bubbles]

Just had the new 197 just pull up outside my house in (i have to admit) a very gorgeous blue

A guy who lives just a few streets away is a press guy and has it for 500 miles.. its very nice!

hes going to pop round tomorrow and take me for a spin, hes far too lucky, the last time i saw him he was driving this :

i will take some piccys tomorrow, i started it with just the push of a little button! very weird

The brakes are huge, and he said it handles very well, but as for speed... not much different to the 182 - however its only done 300 miles so far

[Neil G]

Sounds good

Just got the new evo and there is a good review of it in there...also in the motoring section of the Telegraph....they just complained about the engine noise lol

 

[Englebert]

Detour to London?

 

[Leeshez]

The megane has push button start. It is very strange.

 

[Bubbles]

i put my foot on the clutch and held down the button for a little too long i think - i said to him "its not working" he replied " just push in and let go"

So i did.... nothing happend

"i think youve confused it" haha

We got it going in the end though, i will wait and see what tomorrow brings

 

[chris-b]

The megane has push button start. It is very strange.

Yep and every show car I've sat in had a nasty dent next to the start button where people have missed the button!

how can u miss a button!!!!

 

[Day]

How can it dent so easy

 

[sneeks]

My old megane had push button start, it's quite cool but I prefer carrying a key around with me than a card.

 

[maddog]

Nice!

Any chance you getting him to take a quick drive down the M40 to J9, Bicester so I can take it for a spin, also good excuse for a blast up the motorway!?!

Tell him it would be good to get a fellow 182 owners view on the new model!LOL!

Another thing to go wrong.

 

[lawrence]

not bad, but still sounds like renault havent quite got quality control or the build right

 

[Bubbles]

I wont be getting one, but i still like little bits - it doesnt come in yellow for a start! (yet)

 

[Rich]

Which blue was/is it, this one?

 

[Bubbles]

Yep

17s?! they looked tiny

 

[S77CCP]

Nice orange peal effect on the door.

 

[Rich]

Yep

I thought that to

 

[Rich]

Nice orange peal effect on the door.

It wouldnt be a factory Renault paint job without it!

 

[Bubbles]

The backend looks like a fat ford Ka, and i looks odd without a spoiler, too much like the meggy where it just cuts off

 

[S77CCP]

I think it looks like a overweight Punto.

 

[TheCake]

not bad, but still sounds like renault havent quite got quality control or the build right

Sounds more like user error to me

 

[Rich]

Styled to look like a baby Megane no doubt, just like the current line up of Peugeots with there horrible front ends to all look a range.

 

[Bubbles]

I like my curvy bumble

 

[S77CCP]

The whole front fog light arrangement is just plain lazy design, Reno have been to the Porsche school of design for tips.

 

[Rich]

I like my curvy ...

Easy now

 

[Bubbles]

[Bubbles]

[Rich]

[Bubbles]

[Rich]
