ok i admit it

[BUFFALO]

i swore it would never happen but the new 197 is starting to grow on me. at first i hated it with a vengence now its growing on me like a beard on an arab. any1 else starting to come round to its new look styling

 

[Gareth]

i always liked it.

I think the car looks great and all other judgements are reserved until i've driven one. JT has said it handles and brakes (i hope that shouldnt read 'breaks') a s**t load better than the current models. So it may be heavier and be bigger, but it might still be quicker on track

Racing / cup blue anthracite wheels and coilovers it will look the dogs...



134 top speed is a bit worrying though for 192 hp..!

Come on sweetheart you knows its french, its bound to do that, LOL

TBH, first impressions weren''t great, but its growing on me 2, as someone who gets critised if his company car is too " racey" its nicely and subtly understated, classy, put it this way, if its looks mean it doesn't attract the CTR loving Bolt on spoiler chav brigade, it can only be a good thing.

 

[Englebert]

I agree with wee man.

Handles loads better than current models, this could be intresting!

 

[Andy]

May test drive one. Still think it looks like a Micra on steriods.

With all that extra weight, I find that hard to believe. It'll be more safe, isolated feeling and lardy than the old one.

Apparently the newer bass models dont drive as well as the old base models, so I doubt this version will be any different.

 

[Djw Dave]

Not too keen on it Tbh. But lie others it may grow on me

 

[DebV6]

I'm not too keen on oi, but I might change my mind once I've seen it in the flesh, and I'll take it for a test drive too...hope I don't like it that much though tbh otherwise I'll end up wanting one!!

 

[Neil G]

Not too keen on it myself

 

[Thomss]

Not that in to the pics of it, but looking forward to driving one and seeing them in the flesh!

 

[pompeymatt]

Whens top gear getting their hands on one?

 

[BUFFALO]

mmm bring on the stig

 

[Pete-182]

Hopefully it will be on the nest series of top gear-they will give a honest review, cant wait to test drive one just to see what it drives like

 

[gasman]

looks good

 

[len_beach]

Lets be honest, Jeremy can't go round telling people his brands new car is worse than his old one can he.

I was gonna say the same, I like it but if i fancied a change I think id go for the megane or an S3

 

[polarbert]

Its just a micra with different lights at the end of the day.

 

[Funkyjahooner]

Not keen on the price either
