I've got a 182 Cup and I'm loving it now. The engine is a peach. I picked it up cheap and have put brakes, a pair of tyres and a pair or rear shocks on it. So not only does it GO, it now stops and handles like it should. Recently stuck an exhaust on it and now it sounds awesome too. I know a daily driver is usually something just to get you from A to B, saving your 'other' car for best, but I now really enjoy my daily commute too.
It's got a few toys like cruise, climate, auto lights and wipers, so it's quite well spec'd for a little French car. I have no experience of a 197, but my 182 is a cracking car.
