My 197

[Arthur Daley]

As a newbie just thought I'd post some pictures of my motor as seems to be the done thing:

 

[Saner]

Very nice!

 

[Gareth]

nice mate

 

[Herdie172]

Welcome to the club! Very nice car you have there!

 

[al]

I like it, they are growing on me!!

 

[clio172cup20]

Nice mate! Love the colour!

 

[The Hoff]

Everytime i see picstures of one, I just can't help but think 4x4, they need dropping so badly imo.

 

[JoelDee]

Looks nice, old man colour though, prefer racing blue

 

[Gareth]

there was a racing blue one parked in my office car park yesterday, looked really nice, but I still prefer to have my 225.

225 Is the next stop for me!

 

[ado]

Very nice. The dealer didn't give you any mats?

 

[DebV6]

Very nice

No, I didn't even think about it to be honest, have got my old ones from the 182 in there and they are a bit tatty but plan to replace them this weekend.

not for me. Looks pedestrian - see note 4.

4.lacking in vitality, imagination, distinction, etc.; commonplace; prosaic or dull:

Fair enough - I like it and that is all that bothers me.

 

[joel_b]

Mint, give me the alloys and calipers

 

[JJ!]

Headlight washers look.... bit gash, but 197 is growing on me a little.

And so it should be, i dont hate them, just prefer the more agressive MK2.

Just think the look a bit dull but dont take offence, just my opinion. If i change mine to another Reno i'd have to go with a Megane Sport.

 

[Christopher]

i actually really like the look of them, it's just a shame it doesn't move the performance game on from the 182.

...hence me buying the older car.

very nice indeed though mate

It is pretty different to the 172/182. I am only on 550ish miles so still waiting for it to loosen up and I agree, it doesn look very different.

Megane Sport is the next stop for me, give it 2, maybe 3 years at a push.

 

[Englebert]

Looks great! I'm just wondering if silver makes it look a bit too subtle though.

Would look awesome lowered and with the Turinis as with the R3 model.

 

[Andy.]

Definately growing on me..... tres nice.

 

[Tigger]

Sweet looking car and realy suits that colour

Welcome to CS too

 

[Tyson-182]

Welcome mate; car looks ace! How does it compare to your former 182 in your opinion?

Tys.

 

[Storm_Force]

Very nice m8.

Tys.

In many ways it is a better car but it no way as raw as the 182. I love the fact it is very solid and modern. The power delivery is different too. It doesn't really get going until 5,000 rpm whereas with the 182, although similar, it was quicker to get to that rpm - if you see what I mean?? I am hoping that will change when it loosens up.

I bought the 182 with 9k on the clock and it wasn't in the condition I wanted. Don't get me wrong, it was almost perfect but as I said, "almost". When someone gave it a whack the other week I thought the time was right to chop it in, esp as just about to come out of warranty and needed a few bits doing to it.

 

[leo529]

havn't seen 1 of these on the road yet. LOOKs so mean
ooh and welcom to CS

 

[Alan]

Welcome along matey...

Fine car you've got there...xenons too, a must IMO.

 

[Spiezels]

really nice imo love them, looks even better in the flesh

 

[cli0 172]

nice ... lowered & wheels in anthracite would give me tentage

 

[The Hoff]

If they release a car resembling the R3 model that Bert posted up, I'd have a closer look at them. But they just look like theres a piece missing from the jigsaw.

Needs lowering, and a spoiler to complete the look imo.

 

[Jamie]

Looks too subtle imo, doesnt stand out very much and i just cant get over how BIG it is.

 

[SimonV6]

Needs lowering, and a spoiler to complete the look imo.

Agree, they are too high
