Sounds like a full fat 182 is the car for you, though the Trophy has lovely Recaro's up front ( shame about the rear bench) and Manual Air Con. Well worth getting the cup Suspension upgrade on the normal 182, though most cars do seem to have it anyway.

The 182 Cup loses the Leather/Alcantera for the interior out of the Dynamic, single rear bench with no rear head rests, Digital Climate control becomes Manual Aircon, and you lose the Xenons for normal headlights. Slightly less powerfull Stereo.

You need to drive them both and see, the 182 will be more akin to your old 106 in drive than the CTR. Both where on my shortlist but I knew the CTR would become tiresome day to day.
Think you get Friday afternoon cars with Renault the same as Peugeot. My 205 was always breaking, where as my 306 didnt cost me a penny. My 182 does not really get used enough to comment. Seems reading on here you either get a good one, or not!
The 18-55 Kit lens is ok for normal shots, I would get it anyway and look into a decent zoom. A lot of people on here said to stick to Canon lens, but they are fairly dear.
Worth looking at Tamron or Sigma as some cheaper alternatives.
I went for the 75 + 300 Sigma lens and it works well.
