Just sold my 182 today, really sad to see it go... Had it 5 years from new and I loved it every day. I'll really miss 2nd gear from 25mph ish and flooring it, hit 4-5000 rpm and feel the kick..! Love it. I'll miss the handling too, it has so much grip and is predictable when you reach the limit. The ESP has saved me from some embarrasing moments though..!
The only problems I've had in 65,000 miles is the rear shocks (replaced on warranty), exhaust baffle (replaced again) and the steering wheel rubber grips falling off (annoying..!). Other niggles are the leaking washer jets, serv light coming at random and passenger door not always locking with remote key. Most of these are small things which are well reported, but are minor really.
Just waiting for my company car now - 1.4 tsi Scirocco..
Anyone thinking of buying one - do it...
Bye....
