Thinking of getting a 197

I want 2 get a new car some time next year and im starting to like the 197 more and more.
Has any one gone from a 182 to a 197? are they better?
 
pro's: bigger, better build quality, better brakes, updated interior, nice wheels, 6 gears

con's: not as raw (could be a good thing for some people), not as good looking imo, it's still a renault so the same dealer issues apply, worse fuel economy.
 
you should consider other cars in the price range as well![/quote]

I have, but there not much that i like in the price range
 
I agree, teddy-b. Not much excitement on the hot hatch scene since the 182 went out of production.
 
Go for it. I have unfortunately never had a 172/182 but I can say that we are totally satsified with out 197, so much so it is the first car I felt I wanted to spend money on and get it remaped.
 
Ive heard that the 197 is ever so slightly slower in a straight line than a 182 but they are v.gd on the twistys
 
save ya money u'll lose loads wait until there 3yr old 14k r woteva they are i could think of loads of better cars
 
I've had 172's, 182's and tbh, the 197 is a massive improvement over both of them.
 
Don't you just love the 197 haters...deary me, each to their own..

For those who haven't driven one and are passing judgement, have a word..

Hi sweetcheeks :)

The haters just don't understand mate. To live with day to day, the car is perfect imo. Quick, stable, cheap to run, comfortable and awesome handling abilities. What more can you ask for???
 
the 197 is much better than the previous RS's. i just personally couldnt justify the price tag for a clio..

i drove one when they first came out, so no second hand one anywhere
 
I think the price tag is ok if you get a good discount. Our import was £12,995 inc. met paint. Certainly at the time a Corsa VXR was ar least £15,995
 
My brain was ruined by all the drugs I took in the sixties, but not to the extent I'd ever buy a 197.
