[QUOTE="weebob, post: 111924, member: 337"] It's about the package as a whole, really don't care if the new 200 is a quicker car. For me, it looks like its been cut from the same jelly mould as the astra. Having driven a few cars with flappy paddles I got no enjoyment from it, just prefer a good old metal bar a change gears with. Finally Renault had to go turbo to get the performance and meet the new standards, however I prefer a free and high reving NA. I chose a 197 over a similar priced 225 because of this. An extra 25nm(18ish lbs) isnt a lot of course it depends where it comes in. Speaking of astras, a mate of mine has a 1.6 turbo one, similar figures (although a damn sight more weight) the turbo spools up early with peak torque at 1200rpm, but completely runs out of puff at 5k. I'm sure the RS wouldnt be like that, fingers crossed. Oh his fuel consumption is nearly as rubbish as my 197. [/QUOTE]
