Ive had my 182 since June, have covered nearly 8000 miles its finally starting to show a few of the well known faults.
1) Exhaust now blowing badly, happened the other day at about 5k in third just pulling nicely and the note suddenly changed.
2) Occasional 3 bleeps on arming the alarm. Done this since new but not a major hassel
3) SERV ABS TC lights come on if you feather the brake pedal at low speeds. One for its first service.
4) Big crack in the windscreen appeared at the start of the cold weather and is now approx 8 inches long.
5) Back wiper doesnt work occasionally
6) Engine mount knock front right... another for the service
7) Remote locking only works from the side or the rear. Doesnt work from the front!!!
Other than that its holding together pretty well. Tyres still have a pattern on them and brakes are good. Generally get 30+ MPG and in the wet almost any car in front is in the way around the corners. Even if Im just bumbling along the grip makes it seem the car in front is cornering incomprehensably slow.
Shame the build quality isnt a little better but there again for 12.4k you have to expect the odd minor issue. Would buy another one but have 2 years worth of warrently to enjoy and a car getting more responsive by the day.
