I owned a FF 182 about a year ago. Was a great car, but sold it to get a 320d for work. A few weeks ago I decided a Trophy was the way forward so picked up #415. In my honest opinion the Trophy is in a class above my old FF 182, the handling is significantly improved. Some people on here told me that the Trophy wasn't any better than the FF182 - I don't think these people have actually ever driven one!
Trophy does have negative points though (which don't bother me as I only use it at weekends)...much rawer, a pretty hard ride which can get passengers complaining - it's also less practical than the FF182. Generally though, I would highly recommend getting one - so worth the premium!
