Test drive in 197 cup?

[JayR]

Indeed, my Cup and 182 were reading around 31/32 MPG

To be totally fair and honest i average between 38 and 40 mpg in my current when using Ultima or Optimax and thats mixing one extreme of driving with another i.e i will religiously drive at 30 in a 30, 40 in 40, built up areas etc but will go to the other of really hard driving (none of this nancy stoping at 6k bolloy ) when i get the chance to give it some beans so if your saying the 197 is sub 30 mpg on the average day then that isnt that great at all and that was something i was unaware of........I know Jamie said i dont do many miles but i wont be wanting to give the robbin f*****s anymore money in petrol than i already do even so so i may have to look at that.

I wouldnt want a Meg. If i do change it will be for another 'small' hot hatch as thats what iv always had and preferd.

I'd say if your getting those figures, you'll see more like 30+ in the 197. My 172 Cup and 182 were giving around the same..... (low 30's) You need to drive harder :rasp:

Interesting view there! Id def have one over my 182 (after already owning one for 6000 miles of driving) if I could afford

 

[JayR]

That is quite an interesting view...You say you think the 197 looks 'shat' and then go on to say you would much rather a Twingo!? Ummmmmmm...

Mate, just test one Make sure you give it a full stretch though. They are alot more refined than the 182, you'll love the step up in build i'm sure
