    Panoramic Sunroof

    iv seen a few 197's with the panoramic sunroof so it was an option but not a very popular one. Don't think the roof opens tho, it just lets in the light like on the honda civic's as far as im aware

    Can you get 4 adults comfortably in a 197?

    If you have someone of 6ft 4 in the front then wont be lots of legroom for the person sitting right behind him. but tbh shouldntbe an issue. I had 4 lads in my car everyweek at one point for five a side footy and was ok, nobody complained. Only slight issue was the performance. My car...

    Why did you buy the 197 over the VXR?

    I looked at the VXR before I bought the clio and I actually liked the VXR to be fair its a nice car. I always notice them on the road. But I went for the clio as it was imo better looking and more grown up. The VXR is a car I may have purchased when i was 18-21 but for a 26 year old, for me...
