Looks as well, doesn't look like a RS to me!

It's all very well the car being 1 group lower but the value of the car is higher than a 182, which will affect the insurance premium.

sure but you have to factor in the extra power....it looks quite similar to the rest of the range which is true....i think it has lost the RS magic and the insurance group reflects this.

and the 172/182s look so unlike the 1.2s and diesels dont they lol

 

[Englebert]

Security could be a factor, and obviously replacement parts could be cheaper.

 

[Neil G]

That's surprising...I would of expected it to be higher than the outgoing 182

Yep - or certainly the same group at least. Clearly they know something that we don't.

Safety, I guess.

For example, a Saxo VTS is IG 14, whereas a C2 VTS with similar power is IG 8, IIRC.
