Hi all, new member from Wakefield area.

Recently got a black 197 and absolutely love it, last car was a diesel Fiesta which makes me enjoy this one all the more!!



Also had a 172 cup last year :thumbup:

Very clean!!! How do you find it compares to the 172?

 

[Si197]

Thank you I don't think the 197 feels as raw or quick as the 172 but it's certainly better built, comfier and has a lot more toys.
Always loved how the 172 looks though but in the end I had to sell it as that particular one I had was too unreliable!

Welcome.

I've been the 172 route and the 197 doesn't feel as gutsy low down or as raw but it feels more planted in the corners (my 172 used to want to lift easy at the rear and would almost hop over uneven road surfaces due to being so light and stiff) ...and the brakes are far better in the 197.

Enjoy!
