Finally on the 182 scene

[Rousey]

Hi all, good to see everything still booming here.

Finally, at 20 years old, Ive managed to buy a 182 and am picking it up on Tuesday, cant wait!!

It was only registered last month and has 300 miles on the clock, have managed to get it for 13k with the cup pack on it, RESULT! Ive not actually test drove it yet cos they reckoned you have to be 25 on their policies so wont be getting any sleep till I pick it up. That Luuvvley metallic blue and the grey wheels.

its all rock and roll matey.. just enjoy it and be careful i suppose.. i have been treating mine carefully on this tank of fuel... not gone over 80mph (shock horror!) and i am cruising on the motorways at 70mph.

getting 36 to the gallon!!! well chuffed so far. hopefully your 182 wont have any teething problems like mine.

enjoy

[seb]

[peter182]

they should let you test drive i have test drove and i had no problem

Ive had mine almost 2 weeks now, and im still loving it..

Shes almost hit 1k, and is loosening up a little... let her warm up and then drive it normally, but try not to do too many motorway miles (sitting at the same speed isnt too good)

 

[Rousey]

i thought cars, come fully prepped these days?

is there still a recommended run in time?

i test drove one at another renault dealer, but to be fair, he was a new salesman, didnt no much, and did even ask me if i had a license let alone my age!!

 

[Ang]

Had mine over a year now and its still putting a smile on my face.....you will love it !....Enjoy !!

If its wet you wont have a problem. if its dry and the road is suitably twisty then it might get difficult. My mate has one and it flies around the corners, having said that, he does drive like a psycho.

his is approaching 120k miles on the clock so would be easier if it just died...

but it does seem to be quite quick
