Have had my 182 for about a month now and have finally managed to get a couple of pictures on here. Think the links below should work, if not they are in the gallery. As you can see I am no David Balley but at least the car is in shot.

I have been chuffed to bits with the car. I have been hearing stories of people picking up the car and it has rattles and things going wrong. I have to say that so far, touch wood, I have not had anything go wrong with mine and, apart from an indicator which does not always cancel, everything has been fine.
I think the performance is fantastic with a real surge past 5000rpm and the handling is superb. I know some people have been complaining about the handling on bumpy roads but what do you expect with the firm suspension. Unless you want to pay 3 times more and get an M3, I think it does a great job..Real sharp turn in and cracking grip through the corner.
It seems there are a lot of people forgetting that type of car it is...a hot hatch. You do not buy a 182 for its interior or its rear passenger space. you buy the car to drive it and, for the money, nothing can touch it. I tried a few different cars before I chose the Clio, a CTR, Leon Cupra R, Astra GSI and even the Mazda RX8 but the Clio was still the biggest grin inducer. I know some people will disagree with my views but each to their own.
