the lad has just had is car stolen and last thing he needs his clever clogs like you opening your mouth.
Sometimes people forget to take there keys to bed with them, you come home from work and put them down and forget about them. remember this is NOT his fault
I thought the article was a bit weird, why wasnt the CTR, LCR and Megane 225 there, the only really competitors to the 182 were the GTI, MCS and ST150
Still the Clio did well to hammer them all, just think it would have been more interesting if the other top hot hatches were there
I have installed my 6 MD changer today to my standard head unit, but after installing it, when scrolling through the options ofnthe head unit (i.e the button that changes the mode from cd to radio) i got a new option which said check cd and the minidisc wont play.
I think it becuase i have...
its only loud in the 182 when you are doing high revs, before that its pretty quiet. By brother who has a 330ci loves the sound of the engine, thats suprising becuase he usually reckons that 16v 4 cylinder engines sound crap.
I love the noise when you hit 5000 rpm!
There is a 182 cup and if you have a 182 with cup bits options there are setup the same way for handling etc.
the differences is the 182 cup is 20kg lighter so is slightly quicker, (wouldnt be noticeable in the real world) but in the 182 cup you lose alot of equipment such as climate control...
The back and front windscreen seem to get misted up but they soon go when I press the back and front windscreen button.
I think alot of cars have this prob, my dads vectra needs the air con on to demist it
The car is mostly about performance but you wont drive it at its full potential for hardly any off the time, so its nice to have the gadgets.
Toypop i think your wrong, i think anoyone who has a 182 in very forunate as most people would love to have a 182, so it probably is seen as a good motor
you will pay about 1k more for the 182 with cup bits than the 182 cup, if you can afford it then i would go for the 182 with cup bits if not buy the cup, you could even consider a 172 cup
as for waiting list, i bought mine from the renault dealer and it took just over 10 weeks, and it arrived...
Yes you can get a 182 (non cup) in orange and then its £350 to add the cup spoiler pack and cup suspension pack.
182 cup is exactly the same car as the 182 with cup bits but it weighs 20kg less and loses loads of kits. The handling will be the same and the difference in performance may be 0.1...
mine was £13500 met paint and both cup packs First owner from Renault dealer. That took some haggling as well alot of dealers just said they sell them for list price, i tried about 8 dealers
As long as you are happy then thats all that matters, im sure somepeople have bought them for full list...
Congrats Big G, I picked mine up last thurs, still makes me smile, Im driving it steady till engine warms then i have the odd blast
I test drove one in silver, but went for arctic blue with both cup packs
the 182 is quality
Have it how you want becuase its your car, and as long as your happy with it then who cares, the next weeks will seem a long time but its worth the wait!
Ive had the car a few days so i thought id give my opinion on it.
I am very pleased with it, i think it looks brilliant and Im also pleased with the interior it seems as though its build is ok and theres no rattles. The performance and handling are what I expected both excellent.
So far so...
What a load of crap about renault bribing them
Evo like the 182 becuase there main criteria is fun when driving so the 182 gets massive reviews, if it was for refinement that something like the MCS would win
The 182 has had a good review by every motoring publication
Hi all! Picked my 182 up today in arctic blue with both cup packs, must say Im chuffed to bits with it.
Also I know the dealers get a hammering on here, but I must say Reg Vardy Rotherham were excellent, the car came on time and everything was in the car e.g boot net, mats, cans of foam. I...
Got a phone call from the dealer today, i pick her up on thursday. The letter I got from Renault UK said it would be at the dealer for the 22nd November so its bang on time. The next few days will go so slow!! Cant wait to get it!
I agree with Toypop, Renault say use 98 RON (i.e Shell Optimax) so thats what my 182 will get when it comes.
At the end of the day the engineers at Renault know better than any of us, surely if the engine is designed to run on 98 Ron then it will run slighlty better than on 95 RON. £3.50 a...
the cooper S pre 54 plate has 163 BHP and from 54 onwards has 170 BHP but weighs about 150Kg more than the clio so has no chance
I think the 172 cup/ 182 should be able to stay with the CTR, 172 may struggle a bit, alot of people on here claim the 172 cup/ 182 are significantly faster than the...
Yes that was the front cover. They reckon the 182 does 0-62 in 7.4????? every other mag ive seen have posted sub 7 second times
they did give it a good write up though
they talk some crap on that forum, Alfa may charge a premium price but its not even in the same league as BMW, AUDI, Jaquar etc.
Alfa come bottom of every ownership/reliability survey
Ill get the GTA to sort the clio out, what a joke
