I had another go in a 197 at the weekend and I really wanted to like it as I think it looks fantastic in the red, but just didn't get on with it again. To me it just felt to grown up, to big to be a Hot Hatch. As you say Seb it is all personal preference, but i am looking forward to the further versions of the car!

I thought so....I knew he had more sense than that....saying 172s are chav chariots could cause a mother of a riot on here!

My mate is Chris, the guy who has the 197 on long term test, and works for Auto Express. I'll email him this, he'll be dead chuffed his 197 get a mention on here!

Apparantly it gives him a bigger smile than the Evo he had on long term test last year!

[I could go down the Renault dealers tomorrow and buy a 197 outright but choose not to as I have better things to spend my money on like my house.

To be fair, most 182 owners already own a house
