ordered a 197 this week and can"t wait, got to though currently end of sept early oct
ultra red with tinted windows , climate control
took a demo out last monday for a good thrash on a private road mind and give it sum up to 120 mph on the twistys and it was superb , miss the rush from 5000-7000rpm though.
i think the car looks the dogs and the finish and quality seem alot better. i was unsure about the seats when browsing but once you are sitting and driving in them they where superb.
also really liked the chunky steering wheel and the brakes where ace but you need a firmer foot on them than in the 182 but when they bite they really work well, braked hard from 100mph and stopped in no time with no problems. not much torque steer either if i remember and the ride was (dare i say it like a new vw gti)
steering was light but very precise and the handling was great you could really throw it into bends with a lot of confidence and grip.
took a black one out but as much as i like black(own a black sports bike) i wasn"t sure of it on the clio.
in the sun i could see marks all over it which ruined the effect slighty.
my favourite bit is standing back and looking at the arse end , would perhaps like to have seen more of the exhausts but can understand why they have done it.
the front also has a nice stance with the bulging wings and vents.
all in all i am over the moon as you can see.
