The 172's and 182 are built from kitkat wrappers and blue tac, I thought they had sorted that out on the new ones.

Kit kat wrappers and blue tac make for a quicker car.

If your all going to moan about build quality you should just all go and buy boring VAG wagons

personally me and alot of the others felt it was shocking, weather thats because we work with audis all day, which are admitedly good interiour wise, or the fact that the dash board from the 197 seems to been have made from 2ndcrate plastic that they couldnt use on the doorcards im not sure

If that's the case then how come a lighter car with more power is slower than the heavier car with less power

Things didn't exactly go to plan today
Got up late, was supposed to be going to see a VXR...that sold whilst I was asleep. Bit annoyed because it looked OK & the price was decent
Went to look at a 197 F1....that had also sold.
Went to another Renault dealership in Sheffield, they had a white Cup with Recaro's but the salesman was talking too much crap & it had a silly spoiler on the back. I'd have taken it out if it weren't for the fact that the dealership was in the middle of the city centre, not much point in crawling through traffic on a test drive!
Hopefully I'll have better luck tomorrow

The silly spoiler would fall off on its own anyway after a few miles.

"No, no, no. It's not just for looks, it helps with downforce & make the rear diffuser much more effective."
