172 or 182 for fun??

[Lee-mc]

Hi all,
Is the 182 not as fun to drive as the 172 mk 1?????????:S

 

[Timmay]

would imagine theyd both be fun

 

[FlameR]

probably pretty similar to be honest mate. 182 isn't any faster though!

No no no no.. The mrk1 is where its at for outright fun you just cant beat them.. i have driven them all and the mrk1 rocks the s**t!! ask anyone who as owned both!

lol id say just for fun it has to be a ph1 as they are cheap and the golden rule is cheap cars are fun lol

Sorry tony, new to all this.

No problem my friend

as i said before lee, ive driven 2 mk1 172's (craig and garf's) and obviously my 182 and both the 172's were MUCH more fun to drive! id definitely pick 1 over the 182 purely for the acceleration difference (obv if they were as new as the 182)

182 w cup packs feels more stable on road

The mk1 seems to be the most fun, most people seem to go for them now.

Just ask fubar, he seems to prefer his old mk1 to the 182.

Yours must be a right dog, Anni, but I suppose being a bloated ff, it's bound to feel slower.

i've owned both, performance wise not alot of difference, if anything my ph1 was slightly better on the twisties
