anyone seen the Drive magazine test this month (mag out today) and know the result of the ST vs 182 please? oh and as i have said before, autoexpress hate the 182 for some reason and never rate it highly

Quote: Originally posted by acrebo on 31 January 2005 Maybe, but then what is the group of the VTS?I honestly dont know what it is, but Id imagine that it is fairly similar, maybe a group or two less. Just been anwered above! So, if taking insurance into comparison, it becomes a negligable...

Quote: Originally posted by godders182 on 31 January 2005 saxo vts is group 14 !!! ok thats fair enough, the 106 GTi was only a 12 (maybe 13) yet was the same car and speed (handled better). Maybe my gripe is more with the vtr crew as owning a 106 GTi I know what a VTS is capable of. You...

:oops:

saxo vtr and vts = chav mobile 106 GTi = grown ups saxo (much more rare, less chavved up and much better all round) 172/182 = grown ups 106 GTi. (about the same handling but better interior and faster)

Pete, what are you going on about? Old age getting to you?;)

not sure but cocopops noticed that the other day too, maybe they are in constraint?

this is my little one, nearly fills the side window but I think it looks damn cool! http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1095802048__DSC01897b.jpg

I Guarantee that when the RenaultSport version comes out all you lot will be creaming your pant again and will quite happily not associate it with the 1.2 model they are showing in those pics! It will be amazing and you will love it, nobody likes change until it happens and they realise it...

what brake fluid is in the 182 as standard as i was told by my dealer to upgrade mine after the trackdays i did as i apparently ruined it?

this is normal mate, they all do it, sometimes i think the wheel is about to fall off on full lock coming off my drive !

afaik the 182 is only available in racing blue and yellow. i got mine off ebay from france, were only available from france at the time.

i remember this but havent got it saved anymore sorry.

Racing Blue Inferno Liquid Yellow

i find them fine, have no problem at all

thats a fair enough point, not everyone can like them, just like if I drove a valver I would probably hate it. The fact that you are in the minority means that you either drove a bad one or had a really bad test drive or that you like your older cars too much and maybe arent suited to the best...

this is what I looked to buy last year as I like an open face one due to me wearing glasses and a full face means my breath steams my glasses up. This have the British standard jobbie so seems fine ot track day use IMO...

for that sort of money I would definitely get another 106 GTi, amazing car.

I think they designed new cup badges for the 182 and if so make sure the dealer doesnt fob you off with 172 cup badges. Glad you are happy, need to see one in the flesh now as I still havent, only an inferno megane.

Its a sign, when you couldnt decide which car to go for and we said the 182 with cup packs it was meant to be!

I totally agree with this

http://www.carselect.lloydstsb.co.ukwww.carselect.lloydstsb.co.uk are around £24k for a UK car not pre-registered.

i got a UK car, but paid Import price for it.

There is a pattern here, the 182 always does badly in autoexpress tests, they have never rated it up with the others, when up against the Cooper S it has lost a couple of times and if anyone has seen their Hot Hatch DVD it only comes 8th (full fat 182 that is) behind the CTR, Cooper S and Fabia...

but the 182 cup has aircon?????
