"I am happy with my 182 and am not interested on how it compares to other cars and especially cars of similar power and size."
There you go, how boring is that !!!!!!!! :p
this on the other hand would be a different story im sure !

can settle too.
my cousin had one of these and we ran a bit of a test down a private road. the mini hit about 0-75-0 and just stopped in time for the turn. I did the same run in the 182 0-80-0 and stopped quite easily for the turn. Both in the cars at the same time and he even thought the 182...
Any reports ive read + posts on here and referred to the handling not being that great and thats what mainly lets the car down. I have also read that coilovers do amazing things for the 172/182.
I do need a bigger car as i have a little addition to the family! ... but i am going to hang fire...
just seen a trophy for sale on autotrader for 20k !! and it seem they have just tinkered with the suspension mainly and changed the wheels (v.nice motor though)
would this sort the handling issues with the standard 225 ?
goin to hang on a month or so, im sure they will come back down again. what a shi*ter, just got my stuff through for the halfords card aswell. i aint payin 400 notes for one, thats for sure!
your right! it wasnt 2 days ago. they reduced them to 329.99 because argos were sellin them for that. wonder why they would stick them back upto 400 ??

Road Angel Legality Confirmed ..
This is a question we are being asked a lot at the moment by our customers, driven mainly by press surrounding the proposed “Road Safety Bill” for Parliament.
The reality is that the bill may not get heard in...
halfords, if you have a halfords credit card. think you get 10% off + £10 i think. So that would make it £287.
just applied for one. buy the unit, pay it off. been told if you are pushy in the shop you should get 10% off anyway ......but im doubtful as they have only just reduced it by 70...
would you tell them if you had the sat nav fitted ..... no ..... so why would you tell them about any other factory options? when you tell them the value of the car surely that should represent the price of the car including any options fitted when new (i.e sat nav, 6 disc changer, etc...
Load a s**t mate. Asked them about this when i was taking my 12 month policy out and they said oh, there isnt much point because the 14 for 12 policy is a lot more expensive ??!?!?!?!? WTF . It says 14 for the price of 12 ! Yeah but its a different type of policy . Just a bit of a con to get you...
Get a quote on the 172, then ring them. This is what i did and they swapped it over to the 182 at no extra charge (had to do some messing around though).

had a few dos with wrxs.
one of them i pulled 1/2 car length from about 40-!20 ish. (landed car right on the 5k mark in 2nd when starting - otherwise wrx probably would have pulled on me).
one of them pulled a good car length on me (similar speed above).
one of them pulled away from me a...
