Dont think that one had the cup pack, cant see the red brembos anyway.

I'd pass on a standard 197 tbh

Get the spec right, Recaros! Did you actually drive this car then or just have a look around it?

Have to say 6.5k trade in is very good.

just looked wanted to drive it with the time i had to kill although the salesman said that the dealership was almost closing for the day so he said another time maybe!:dapprove:

wot u mean by spec right and recaro's??

 

[Nashy]

I think you would get a better spec for a similar price tbh but depends what you want and when

Well, with the new RS's i.e. the 197/200's you have a few options to choose from.

With the 197 things like: Xenons, cornering lights, Cup packs, Recaro seats.

So really if you're getting a 197 you want to make sure you have some of these and what you want. If you decide on the 197 is the one to get do a bit of research. I don't know too much about them but I know the 197's suffer from cold idle problems, one of the gearbox cogs is a bit crap 2/3rd I think and the bolsters on the Recaros wear super quick.

Right great advice jamo al have to have a long think and a good shop around first really then!

coz most of them options i would want for defo!

thanks guys great help

 

[The Boosh!]

You want the FF 197 with the bells and whistles IMO

 

[Jamie]

Ohhh yeah and they f**king hammer fuel. 20's is common. On a run, driving like a gran you'll get 32mpg. If you're doing reasonable mileage you should give that some thought.

yeah agree can't buy something i can't afford to run.

 

[Nashy]

Fuel isnt too bad i average about 27 mpg but get abot 25 mpg when going for it, the only thing i have noticed is the recaro's wearing but it means just getting in and out more carefully but other than that i cant complain as above FF with it all would only do it for me.

[T0M0]

good advice lads thank you very much gave me allot to think about!!!

 

[Nashy]

No probs pal not far from me either!

[Jamie]

I have to say if I were getting a 197 it would have to be a R27. If I'm not mistaken the R27's come with pretty much every option ticked as standard?

 

[Nashy]

Not too sure with the standard spec of the R27 tbh no zenons or cornering lights no auto lights wipers etc... iirc.:S
