Fave things about the 182

[Penfold1977]

Im picking mine up in just under 2 weeks and cant wait to get it run in!! Just waved bye bye to my Ibiza Cupra and have an auto 1.6 Almera in the mean time...

Loads of people seem to have gripes with the 182s (build quality etc) but what is everybodys favorite thing?

 

[Darren S]

Handling, performance 4k revs and above, auto lights, decent economy for the spec, quite suitable appearance - not over the top.

I like the stealth of the thing. Most people in flash cars have no idea what it is and I just love it when I pull their pants down.

 

[Ang]

its arse .......oh and the handling...

just makes me smile !

 

[182_blue]

selling it

 

[Steviant]

Twin pipes does it for me! +
The handling abilities on the twisty stuff is amazing!!!

 

[rcp]

handling, power and looks

 

[stu182]

Looks are good - twin exhausts and the RS bodykit get you attention from most people, and the ones that dont notice will do as soon as you get your foot down!

Only just escaped from 3 years in an Astra - to go from something like that to a car that genuinely grabs attention is KEWL!

When the 182 cup gets traction in second with 98 ron between 5000 n 6500 rpm.I have driven a 911 but the clio in the power bands with traction(by your self in the car) realy pulls like a b*****d.

cruise control(still working), 36-38 mpg on motorway at speed and
colour.

 

[Penfold1977]

Cant wait to get it, should be interesting to have cruise on a manual. Hardly the reason I brought it though!

 

[rory182]

the reflection of its mean face from the car in front just before I drop a gear and blast past them....

If I had one - that would be the bestest part.

 

[muppetboy]

steering feel, responsiveness.

 

[Chili Red]

Love the handling best, but also the cruise control, xenons, the seats, the twin tail pipes and the overall looks..

 

[seacombe2379]

i think the way that it responds when you start to push it hard down the narrow b roads and and peoples faces when you blow them away. just got new pipes what yawl think youll have to look at my profile on clio sport

 

[Hanleyrh]

Well ive swapped a Golf V6 4motion for a 182cup, that should say alot. Great car.

Have to agree fully with you, the car turns from a sedate little city car into an absolute animal, all with a push of that little accelerator pedal. va va voom!!!

The permanent smile you have on your face when driving it!
