Guy's,
Very pleasant surprise yesterday,dropped off the 200THP for a quick warranty issue with the dealer,only 40 mins work,so borrowed their 156THP demo,driven couple of times previously,but after a few hundred yard's noticed how much more forgiving the suspension damping was,it felt more composed and obviously comfortable than my own 200.Then gave it a quick blast to my parent's home which are twisty A class road's,road i use frequently in the 200 so excellent comparison test :eusa-shhh: i will eat my own words and will state i was well impressed :thumbup: no constant thuds,relaxed but firm handling,and i seriously think a tad less understeer into tight bends,the main thing i noticed was far less road noise in the cabin,possibly down to softer damping.
I appreciate the 200 has been produced to be a slightly more focused rigid drive,but a damm shame the 200 is not available with the softer damping,no critisism of the larger hubs and brakes on 200 as they are superb. :thumbup:
Just to add to all you 200THP guys running the sport spec on 18 rimms,reduce your tyre pressure on front to 33psi you will feel less understeer and positive steering. :thumbup:
