New Car 197 vs 225

[DUB_MD]

looking at buying a new car at the jan can't decide what to buy a new clio 197 cup or a megane 225 cup which one is better ?

 

[miltage2]

225 For me!

 

[TeZ]

[Turner]

white 197 cup ftw

Meggy if it's an R26, otherwise a 197 Cup in white with black wheels.

don't know which one was when looking at my local renault dealer at a 197 then i saw megane 225 in red it changed my mind still can't decide which to buy

PM Darren on here. (forum name) He had a 172 cup, then a Meg 225 full fat, now a 197. He's probably the most qualified man for the job.

R26 in white.

I jumped from a 172 too a FF 225 best upgrade. Big, safe, Fast and a simple re-map from rs tuning will make it see 250-270 bhp.

This may not apply to you cos of where you live, but do you not find the 225 is not as 'go-Kart-esque' as the clio though? It kind of doesn't have the same chuckability as a 172.

True, True, I believe it doesn"t. 172, 182, 197 = Go-Kart-Esque.

If thats what you looking for then get a 1*2 or 197. If not a 225 is the way to go.

Ditto that. We must stop agreeing like this!

A Trophy, 197 Cup in white and then the R26 IMO.

Neither is better there different.

For me I'd choice the 197 Cup I think.

 

[Stryker]

A white 197 cup with black wheels in a couple of years time is gonna be the most common car on here IMO

Depends on your use for it, have you a family then go for the Megane.

I've ordered a 197 Cup and don't thing that the its much smaller than the Megane.

Tunning wise the Megane wins hands down, as you get more BHP for your money spent.

R26 megane.

 

[Clio_Craig]

megane for me

white 197 cup ftw

bingo!

 

[seb]

drive them yourself and make a decison based on your wants and needs.

 

[DUB_MD]

thanks for all your comments guys will go up to renault tomoz and see if i can test drive them both

Can you get a full fat 197 with the Cup suspension? Avoid that awful interior and general pikeyness of the Cup - and still have the better chassis set up. Sounds like the way forward to me.
