Wow! I just sold my 182 last week, and have upgraded to a slightly older 52 plate FRS. The difference is unbelievable. I loved my 182 but felt compelled to come on here and thoroughly recommend the FRS to all 172/182 owners as it seems the natural upgrade. The handling is ridiculously good (even better than my old 182!). Not only this, but the acceleration in comparison to my 182 is immense. I dont notice it so much to 60 (although it is faster), but the mid range is in another league. One of my friends has a 182 as well and the way that i can pull away from him through the gears is comedy. Im not sure if mine has been chipped or not but it is MUCH faster than my clio ever was, and you get loads of respect driving it!. With prices coming down on the FRS, anyone thinking of changing will be impressed im sure!
