The 182 seems to be far worse thant he 172s have been. It always seemed like the 172s just went in for the 4k rattle.
Theres a couple of new 182 problem threads every day FFS!
And it is a hardship as I see it. If youre happy to pay that kind of money for such poor quality then its your choice, but saying you get what you pay for is exactly the attitude that results in them continuing to not give a toss customer service time. Why is that so hard for you all to see?
I know you 172/Cup/182 owners can be quite stout sometimes when it comes to defending your cars but come on!
that kind of money so what else you going to buy, brand new with the toys and performance. Its not like theres a lot of choice is there?
a cooper s for example i worked out would be 18.5k for the same spec as a 172/182 comes with as standard. The car is slower, the boot pitiful the build quality is not better than a renault and in alot of cases its far worse and dealers wont even give discounts or do deals because they know they can sell them ten times over for image conscious saps who will happily pay screen price.
Exactly what im saying, there is no comparative car out there. There are lots the same price but what are you getting, bog standard Focus, Astra etc, or top of the range Yaris, Micra etc. you cant exactly compare these
, can you?
