"And the 182 is not exactly slow — 0-62mph in 7.1 seconds and 109mph"

Surely a mis-print on the top speed (139mph iirc) but its a slow 0-60 isnt it. My valver can do that!

Great pics of the Vee in the snow though......

"The 182 reacts to every little deviation and suffers badly from oversteer. "



Didnt know theyd made it RWD Quick tip, stop bottling out half way round a corner love.

she must have been driving on my acb10s

While its true that the 172 tramlined it didnt suffer from HEAVY ! tramlining, and I doubt the 182 will be any worse.

and if I was to believe this article I will be seeing you when you 182 owners hit 109mph.. muhahaha

Why do they let some stupid woman do their motoring section? The 182 suffers from oversteer? She clearly doesnt know anything about cars or driving.

Didnt she used to be part of the MaxPower editing team.....

 

[TB11]

I think she may mean it oversteers badly in the wet on the corners (must be funny camber on the roads!)

"The six-speed gear change can be obstinate" 0-60 in 5.8 secs (give or take 3 - 4 secs to find a gear).

No news there then.

You forgot to mention that if your really want a car for speed then buy some nice silver air vents and stick them on your VTS.

Now you come to mention it, it does look like her. That must have been a good 10 or so years ago when she was on Max Power. She then moved to a more sensible car mag, but has obviously learned nothing even now!!

 

[Jas]

How many mistakes can she make for gods sake?

 

[KDF]

what a sl*t...

 

[Lee]

Shes one rough looking women. I just remember stories in Max Power of her being more like a bloke than most the blokes who worked there.

Emma Bradshaw, that was her name.

I wonder how many Sun readers get as far as the motoring pages on Friday. Theres the sport at the back and Page 3, what else do they need.
