Ride quality difference

[Cripple]

Hey guys.

Just wondering is the ride quality in the 197 really that harsh?

I was reading parkers the other day and they were praising the non sport for having excellent comfort, and then they turn round and say the 197's is far too harsh and shite.

Is this really true? Was thinking of getting a 197. Might not now.

I took an r27 for a test drive with the mrs. She thought it was really comfy and smooth, as did I.

It's Parkers FFSnake

If you are that easily swayed then there is no hope.

Well I was planning on having a 1.6 vvt for a while and then get one. So no point me test driving one at the moment. Just wondered what peoples views were.

The 197 I test drove rode fine IMO for this kind of car, it's a hot hatch so not going to be soft and wallowy.

It has a bigger car planted feel to it compared to the 1#2, so therefore even though it's still stiff it has a subjectively good but firm ride.

I won't comment on the 197 as I haven't driven it, but the 200 I tested (with cup packs) had an awesome ride - the damping was superb. Definitely high on my list of purchases in 2 years time if I don't go RWD.

Parkers reviews mean nothing.
