Test drove a 197 today while my Trophy was in for its 12K service. Dealer allowed me to really 'test' the car, staying away from dual carrageways in favour of a few miles of twisting country roads.
Plus points for me...
Cant argue with the claims of better build quality - it felt like a...
Hi Nik
First and foremost - thanks for providing a great site for us Trophy owners to dicuss all aspects of the car and offer friendly advice. I for one have learned more from other members over the past few months that I could ever have hoped to find out on my own.
Other than additional...

Often overlooked, but very important to the balance and handling of your car. If you haven’t checked your pressures in a couple of weeks, go out an do it today - if you have been driving your Trophy hard, they will usually have changed.

Just an observation that I wanted to share, just in case anyone else had had the same experience since buying a 182...
Had mine for two weeks now and before I owned it I can only remember seing a couple of 182's on the road in months.
Since starting to drive one it seems like everyone has...
Finally the sun came out today, so we took that car out for a spin in Northumberland and came across this river crossing. Seemed a shame to miss a photo opportunity like this, so here you are...
Hey guys...
Let's here your reasons why you chose the Trophy as your car of choice ?
Was it the reviews ?
Was it the test drive ?
Did someone you know own one ?
Did you buy one without test driving it - purely based on reputation ?
What were you looking for out of the car ?
How happy...
Did you guys know that the end of the Recaro seats pulls right out to accomodate drivers with longer legs ?
If this makes no sense... While you are sitting in the seat, the end of the bit of seat your bum is on that is closest to inside of your knee-caps pulls out by quite a way
Not sure...
I am sure most of you have seen this, but the Renaultsport website keeps a constantly updating count of how many Trophies that have not yet been sold:

Just checked an there is only 45 left now !
Hi guys, seems like a few of us are picking up Trophies this weekend, so how about some advise on what to look out for at the Dealership when checking the car over - just before we accept them ?
Can you think of more than this ?
1: CHECK FOR PAINT SCRATCHES/IMPERFECTIONS/STONE CHIPS

Any chance of getting a message box popping up on the screen when I log in and there is a new PM message waiting to be read ?
The forum automatically logs me in when I come to the site (which is great) but its easy to miss them at the moment as the text in the top navigation area is quite...
I have been looking around the 'net for a few hours trying to get a feel for the best types of oil to put in my Trophy when it arrives.
Here are a few of the best links I found that discuss the subject...

Nice review at the channel 4 car website. They have been given the Trophy for 2 months to do a complete test on the car.
