    Top speed?

    130? Is that all the 197 will give?? I had 130 out of my CLIO 1.2tce... It had been remapped tho.. I would have hoped you could atleast get 140 - 145 from a 197 :,-( Fastest I've been was 145 in my brothers Corsa vxr :-)

    Bummed off!!

    leather seats look nice.. before they start to sag after a few 1000miles. I would go with the recaros personally they look the nuts and they are more desirable, so you will get more when you come to sell it on too.
