I haven't made it onto the track yet - I was supposed to be doing the Goodwood trackday on Friday but had to cancel.
I have a ridiculously short commute everyday to work but its perfect for that...

Personally I think the car is fantastic in just about every way, i haven't driven a 172, 182, or 197 so I cant compare but my only criticism is the slightly vague steering - I have read the various issues with Clio steering etc and maybe this is where the 172 & 182 were superior??

Overall its a complete eye opener of how good a car can be for relatively little money - Chris Harris raves about them and I can see why...

BTW, did anyone see my Lotus Cortina at Goodwood Thoroughbred Sunday?

The steering on the car is vague - in my opinion it is the only minor element of the car which isn't as good for a small hot hatch. Yes, it handles like a go kart & is the most fun you can have for the money but I guess it comes down to what you have owned \ driven prior to the Clio that makes its steering vague...
