[QUOTE="oVerboost, post: 182054, member: 4227"] It's the refinement that is deceiving you... The 133 feels raw and "alive" because you've got no sound deadening, an engine which likes to rev (although so has the 200) and also because your probably more used to the Twingo. What you need is to give it more time, do a few weekend long drives around lanes/country if your near anything like that or even a track day. I got rid of my 133 and got a Megane 225 - and tbh it really wasn't for me so now I have a modified late 172 (197 cams, yozza exhaust, de-cat, custom ecu, h&r coilovers etc) it is a great middle ground, and for anyone looking for a step up from the Twingo then the 172/182 fits the bill perhaps a little better than the 197/200 does as it is not as refined and feels very similar to the Twingo (same chassis). The mrs has a 197 (basically the same as a 200) which is great fun, and can seem "tame" however in the Twingo when I used to be driving it hard in the 197 she was barely pushing it in terms of how it was being driven. As rightly said, you can't really compare the 133 and 200 as they are very different cars and are appealing to almost two separate markets. [/QUOTE]
