Wife had a small prang last year. At an island went into the back of someone, maybe 10mph. Total damage was under £500, they occupants were laughing and joking with her etc. Car was fine to drive, bumper slightly dented.
Total claim so far, over £16k.
Any 182 that 'feels' slower than a 197 has issues. My 200 feels more grunty than any 197 I've used, and all my mk2's felt quicker still.
It is a more refined, grown up hot hatch. Can't have that without some of the fun. Or buying a mini.
Only issue is finding them, they sellout very quickly. Mytyres, blackcircles, camskill are all good places to check. If you go for them, they need to be a fraction lower pressure than pe2's.
