going back to evo from many many moons ago.................
road test......
porches...tvrs a few other stuff(memory is fuzzy now) hehe ..........................oh and a williams clio
i think evry 1 of the tesing crew said theyd prefer to be driving the willy evry day........which is the classic????? and in which respect?
Read the article last night. The 182 seems to combine a bit of an old school feel with other qualities youd expect from a car built in 2004. I dont think there can be a better argument that the 182 is a better car. I guess well need someone to buy a Willy and a 182 to judge it in the handling stakes..
I defo want a 182 now though!

What would be a better package / which would you have?
1. A 182 with cup suspension (16k + a bit?)
2. A cup with RSport ECU, filter, decat and zorst (price 11k?)
For looks id take a cup (got to love those wheels and that blue)
For price id take a cup (4k ish saving)
For speed Id take the cup (better power to weight ration with those inexpensive mods)
For handling id take the cup (its lighter)
Can anyone explain why the 182 is a better car or a step forward?
or
Should the real question be: how many people have been sucked in by the successful marketing hype?
Never driven either of them.....so can only comment theoretically.
.....The 182 is a great example of how far weve come technology wise, with its combo of speed / handling / comfort. But im not sure its going to have that Old School Racer type appeal - that I personally love. Back in the day the Williams was a legend, its focus was pure raw hot hatch - aimed at a certain group of people.
It depends what you want. Purely based on what ive read - I would probably get in the Williams and think it was the car of choice better for me, because I like the race car feel, direct focussed handling etc....
I think the 182 will feel too similar to a 172 for me, with some adjustments of course. I suppose you could get the feel of a modern day Old School hatch (Cup) if you went for the enhanced suspension package etc...and gave it more power....but I think its the lightness of the Cup/Williams that partly gives it its feel....? Hmmmm.
A thread Evaluating the 182 / Cup, will be most interesting!!
