yes mate 31

Thats wierd Huw - NU told me no probs with the spoiler/suspension as long as they were manufacturer options? - maybe something to do with age too?? :confused:

On average around 30mpg, although tends to sit at 27/28mpg quite a bit - had it down to 15mpg on the way home for about 10 mins though! :o Still putting normal u/l in too... Matt

Mine is covered by NU and they were ok about it - depends some accept manufacturer options (the Mini example is a good one), some class them as mods. You just have to ring around a bit more...

With NU £520 with business use, 7yrs company car & Im an old git!

Hooray so its not just me then! Ive managed to trigger the alarm a couple of times when opening it too quickly - usually when the cars in the garage and my wifes in bed above :oops: - damn its loud! Matt

The back end can feel twitchy when pushing on - especially if you lift off - but youve got to be really pushing it :devilish: IMO The one I test-drove had the s/wheel slightly turned to right (didnt buy yours from Nicholas Smiths did you?!) - which felt wierd, but luckily mines ok! Matt

I opted out from my company car scheme - coming out of a Honda Accord Type-R (before that MG ZT) to buy my own Clio. With the opt-out cash I could stretch to a Subaru STi/330/Leon R/RX-8 etc but to be honest none of them were THAT much faster on the road, and the running costs are just plain...

2-5 working days sounds good! When I did a cherished reg transfer recently it took 6 weeks!!

depends on the total amount youre financing??

aww so im too late with my 182?!

I cant hear any clicking when using mine, but guess it could be the a/c unit kicking in? Can tell the performance drop ever-so-slightly, although its nowhere near as noticeable as in my previous Hondas/Rovers! Matt

Mine too - although after 4k RPM it really starts to growl and it drowns out the tinny metallic sound :D

lol - a friends colleague of mine had a new company car turn up with the letters PUF on last year! Kinda made up my mind to opt-out!

I waited 3 weeks for a black one with Cup options, as the dealer had already ordered it as a showroom car - they had another in the showroom, but as that was the one I test-drove with dealer plates I wasnt too keen!;) Matt

Touch wood Ive had no problems at all - bear in mind that on any web car-forum you only ever hear from the people that have had problems! Also - If £200 is your deposit, you may find the dealer can charge you quite a bit more than this if you cancel! Matt

Im SERIOUSLY tempted to do the trackday on the 21st May - although not sure if I dare put my new 182 through it http://www.cliosport.net/forum/smileys/smiley13.gif - it should be run-in by then (at least 1000 miles!), but just keep wondering how much "baggier" it will feel afterwards?! Ive...

Im sure he means a removeable one - theyre dead cool those ones! ;)

Nope you cant put a towbar on it - exhaust means its a no-go! I use the missuss car for towing the (trials) bike around :), also means that the 182 stays clean! Matt

was down to Arctic Blue or black for me - delivery on a black one was 3 weeks, 8 weeks for the blue - so kinda a no-brainer! Matt

Would phone around the local dealers with that price - and then go back to thm - the last few hundred quid is the hardest! (before freebies such as Supaguard, fuel etc)....

Depends on the insurance co - some class the Cup options as mods, others not. NU/Tesco were fine with Cup options as "manufacturer fit". Matt

http://www.moneysupermarket.comwww.moneysupermarket.com is a good site for getting cheapest personal loans...

Not sure I want to let everyone laugh at how much I paid for my 182 :o, but IMO you should be looking at low £13ks with both Cup options & metallic from an official Reno dealer. I bought mine with a low-rate bank loan - usual affair of speaking to 3/4 local Reno dealers (over the phone, try...

Ive got one as a courtesy car until my 182 is ready to collect (hopefully today if they sort my plate out!) - its not too bad really, although its been a while since I drove a car with such a low redline! It pulls well throughout the range and I cant get below 35mpg no matter how I drive...

or there are some dealers who have demos/new ones in showrooms still - you could cut a reasonable deal with one of them?? (I was offered a showroom one with Cup options/metallic at £13.2k from the local N Yorks dealer recently)... Matt

My delivery date was brought forward to this Friday (9th) after being quoted 3rd/4th week April initially :) Some dealers do have some left in the showrooms though! Matt

I thought it was the override for the speed limiter? At least it seemed to be in the demo car...

Nice one :D - some of the dealers still have some in their showrooms if youre not too fussy on colour though!
