I personally prefer the 182s. I think the Mk2's are more exiting; more fun at lower speeds, they feel over engined and opposed to under engined in the Mk3. It all depends what you want from your car though really.

I drive 2 miles a day thats it so i dont no

sell 197, buy 172 cup track car and a pedal bike to get to work

Arnt the 197's an ass to drive when cold.

Buy a 182.

 

[Goodj]

what are you reasonably expecting as a benefit of "downgrading" to an older car?

 

[Canary172]

Drive only 2 miles a day? Stick with the 197 and bike to work.

 

[ADS_V6]

Keep it
Madness imo for 2 miles a day
Could end up buying a old car with issues etc

 

[imprezaworks]

Unless your looking at releasing some money, depending on yours. But as above, could kiss goodbye to the difference if you buy a pain.

2 miles? Walk/run/hop or cycle. Why drive?

 

[Typhoon]

Keep the 197 if it's small commutes. The 197 is much nicer to drive, more defined and an overall better place to be.

The 1*2's are more "Go Kart" and as such, more of a "fun" car.

Don't take this the wrong way mate but you really don't sound like your interested in driving at all
For 2 miles a day if it's reliable, I'd just keep it.

 

[Knuckles]

2 miles?!

f**k off all the clios and buy something with a v8/10

Fair enough mate, I just read the situation wrong on your replies.
I've never driven a 197 so can't comment but I took a big "down grade" from an s3 8p to find a car which was more "fun" and I definitely found it in the 182.
Test drive needed :up:

I get to drive it more than 2 miles on a weekend but 6 days out of 7 its just that small crap trip

I can only see you being disappointed after the first week, if honest.
Once the novelty of "oh look, this car's marginally quicker" will come the "someone please stop that FACKIN RATTLE!!!!" and "What....NOW WHAT!" and all the other great lines that become part of ownership of a decade-and-a-bit-old Renault

Sell 197. Buy 200. Turn into fast road/track car. Walk/cycle to work.

That sounds like a plan

It's not stripped. Void

 

[Clio_fool]

If it's not a money driven choice then keep the 197, buy a 182 alternate for a couple of months and keep the one you like most.

 

[Niall]

Yeah to be fair as above, 182's are that cheap these days you could buy one as well to see if you like it.
