182 or 172?

[jamesc]

As my other thread i'm looking at getting another 172, but is it worth paying an extra few K for a 182? Do they drive better? obviously faster?

Cheers

Get a PH2 172, i would anyway

Depends if you like them better (wheels, exhaust etc). The 182 is not any faster though. Having a newer car is always better, imo.

182 newer will have less miles and looks a tad better imo basically a newer car is what you are paying for, longer for things to go wrong

i used t own a 182 ff was an excelent car & regret selling it. but i bought a fiesta rs turbo & now im sick of that so going to but a 172 cup next i think. bit of a useless post but still shows im a fan of em both.

Well obviously I have a 172, but think the 182 looks sexier

 

[*lee*]

i'd go for a 172 cup

 

[182nic]

personaly i think the 172 cup is the best looking out of em all. imo

182. Twin zorst looks better than one

Bloody nice in their day, but no thanks

 

[182nic]

still nice tday mate. mint condtion just realised when i bought this after my 182 that i prefer newer cars now. had more fun driving my mams 1.4 07 plate clio than driving my frst the past 2 weeks. ahh i wana nother 1.:dapprove: :dapprove:

 

[racingred27]

know what you mean, the 172 cup is an awesome car around Oulton Park

If you can stretch get a 182.It will hold a little more value than the 172 in the long run.Plus you can have artic blue which is lovely

Got my 182 about five months ago after seeing her sitting on a forecourt. Sat in her and had to buy it and havent looked back so fun to drive and wont sell for her

 

[HeatherRS]

When i bought my 172, if i had been able to afford a 182 i would of deffo got one! 182's come in much better colours too, in my opinion anyway.

I have a 172 but now I kinda wish I'd looked into the whole 172/182 scene a bit more when I was shopping around for my 172 and got a 182, twin zorsts, bit newer, less miles, and more toys; trac.control, esp, cruise control and the like. Plus a bit more hp and the cup pack options.

 

[DH_GTI]

182 !!!

182. Twin zorst looks better than one

Agreed twin exhausts look better than none.

I'm trying to persuade my mate to get a 172 bumper for his 182, and have a new exhaust with different pipe placement. I recon either both together like the R32 or even like a MCS, or further apart.
