A clio 197 
Must say the car is absoloutely enormous on the outside, but extremely small on the inside 
It was all very well made and solid. But a tad underwhelming and boring to look at. They had lots of them in at tradesales, all but 2 were a really crap beige colour had to look twice to see it was a sport.
All in all a nice car, and i didnt get to drive it as i was only looking but thought id share my thoughts

Jam!
Get to the bathroom and wash your hands with your Vauxhall soap, and then go to your room and put some Ozzy on and think about what you've done.

I like them, looks better than the corsa VXR from the outside.
Did you feel you were sat high up? thats the one thing that really bugs me about my mates 182.

Your not far off the mark here. IMO the 197 is a bit too big and heavy and a bit less sure under real late braking and cornering (although the 197 is still probably class leading in these two areas atm vs the vxr e.t.c.). I prefer the 182 for a sunday thrash, but the 197 would be a good comprimise for a daily drive to work.
