test drove 197 and 225 cup.

[lambo7]

went to showroom to buy a 197 lastnight but was very disappointed with the 197. tried the magane 225 cup which was really nice, fast and good looking.
just couldn't get them to lower the price enough...dam..!

www.buymynewcar.co.uk £13999. I've just received my FF from them and like many others can vouch for them.

Looks evil. I love it. Black really suits it.

Is that the cup or trophy?

What they like to drive? I ve started to fancy one for next summer, prices should be around the 9 mark then.

197s are bad? how come just out of interest? i been in one but it was on like 80 miles so cudnt really use it.
i know the meg sport is nice and i like em but its a 2.0 turbo? but its not a 'real' turbo like the old r5s and escorts? like a soft turbo u get on mk5 golfs?
i have no idea thats the impression i get, please correct me if im wrong! just curious.

Looks like a FF with Cup packs.

The cheaper ones on the market are the originals, ie, no Cup or Cupped versions or trophys that cheap.

Remember some people paid 20k for their Megs! :clown:

Not sure, but I'd have a look on autoebid.com
I got my 197 from them and although the broker was sh*t and the car took 3 months for delivery, it was a uk car and was prepared perfectly. I saved about 2 grand on my 197 when dealers weren't giving a penny off.

Read this months EVO magazine for an clear insight into the 197 and new Megane 230.

I'd go for the Meg over the 197, not much more money, but a lot more car.

Not really a massive fan of the Megane, but that looks s**t hott (probably 'cause you can't see the back end) - I love those wheels too. Could do with lowering though IMO.

 

[mccabe172]

Megane 230? Is that another turbo job. Should just whack the 255 v6 in the megane.
Must admit 13k for a megane is alot though - I d consider evo 260. My opinion sorry!
Megane alloys and grill hard though.

 

[Gareth]

the car has 11 miles on it there, the springs are straight from the factory, needs time to settle down.

 

[paul_h172]

megg 225 for me. looks alot better than the 197

Evil in black, I love the proper 225 Cups in Trophy red.

That's twice the price though.
