Up until last November I drove an Audi S2. For those who dont know its a 2.2litre turbo charged 4 wheel drive sleeper (mine was an estate). It had 290BHP and would hit 60 in mid 5 secs.
Im now driving a cupped 182 and the Clio is faster at low speeds and the S2 was faster at high speeds...
^^^Some people are sooo charming!
Re - the people talking about braking distances being out of date etc. Correct - they are for modern cars. But the Ford Anglia that they are based on is still driving up and down our roads every day. You wouldnt like it if it were the car behind you that...
1993 Rover 220GTi. Sold it when I lost my licence :(
Id had a few company cars before buying private. My first being a 950cc VW Polo Van! Try as I would (and I did try!), I couldnt get that poor car over 99mph!
When we tok delivery of our 182 on the 1st of March the manuals were missing. We were told by the dealer that they would be brought up from their other garage and that we would have them in a couple of days.
Well, we finally received them yesterday! BUT - I dont think theyre the right ones...
Hope youre both OK. I wrote off my Audi by running into the back of a Mondeo at 20mph back last November. Yours will probably be a write-off as it sounds like a lot more damage than I had on mine.
Ive had two occasions where Ive had to press the brake pedal to the floor for it to slow down. Admittedly I was flying and needed to pull up sharp, but I was expecting it to pull up quicker than it did.
Will they improve through time? The car was only 1 day old when it first happened and 6...

They are all scum and deserve to be shot through the head at close range!
Im getting 24-26, but its only done 300 miles. Its still better than my old Audi. I only saw over 20mpg once! Most of the time I averaged 18mpg!
And Optimax aint cheap!
I had mine bouncing off the limiter on day 2! And again at the weekend. Things happen so fast when you floor it in second that you can be on the limiter beforeyoure ready to change up to third.
Ive always been one to floor it from day 1 :D
Heres mine. Finally got round to taking some pics at the weekend after giving it a washhttps://www.borderframes.co.uk/isroot/borderframes2002/182-1.jpg">

What is it with Inferno Red anyway!
I saw it on a Megane 225 and thought thats the one for me, but then I saw it on a 182 and I thought it looked pants!
I went for silver in the end. Saves washing! ;)
Collected my brand new 05 reg 182 yesterday and boy-o-boy is it good!
I used to drive an Audi S2 (2.2 turbo - 290BHP & 4WD). It was fast!, but I think the Clio is faster lower down. At high speed the Audi would win easily, but by then the Clio would be in front and if the road was twisty it...
