the 19 has better seats, not retrimmed GTT seats, the ph2's got 19 16V seats as did the williams.

Havent sat in 19's so i cant say, all i can say however is that if the 19's are better than the retrimmed 5 gt ones then they must be a bloody good seat! Very Happy

the exec headrests are the better ones, they are smaller than the ones previous to the exec, if u dont like yours and as long as they are leather (which they should be as its an exec), i'll swap you for my larger leather ones lol

im debating whether or not to put the exec hardrests in my black one, or swap them over with the chammy's old style ones...

Well I prefer to drive the 19 a lot more than the pug 206 S16.

Have driven for a short spin a Clio 16s.
Also owned a Clio Baccara 1.8 8v with manual box, engine takes off well but at 6000 rpm the limiter switches the engine off, bam.

The Pug has a lot of tourque, its 2 Lt like the Willams.
But I feel mutch safer with the handling of the 19.

Not worried about over doing it and losing the back end.

Whats with the poll, its common sense. 19 is the car of choice, more room inside, bigger boot, more room in the engine bay so easier to work on, quicker (granted not by alot but it is). Just a better car or put simply

Phase 2 cos I got one.

Phase 1 reminds me of my the R5 and Clio that I had before.

But then the square bonnet was 80,s and the ph2 19 went into the Laguna Megane phase.

Then it went big bum.

The best thing about the 19 is the way it drives.

So Ph 1 Ph 2 rules.

(Ph 2 has the looks though, shut up you old fart)
