Who went from a PH2 to a PH1?

[Rhys Beal]

Ah you need a ph1 for sure Rhys! An iceberg silver one

ah ha!

I am leaning towards the ph2 atm but shall be in touch with you tomorrow

Turn your car into a track car, then buy a towing wagon?

or buy the 172 cup in the f/s on here £2k with cams.

I went from Ph2 to Ph1 then another Ph1 then a FF182 now back in a Ph1 but ive fitted a full Ph2 interior which makes it a better place to be. I prefer the ph1 looks & the drive.

Just get a Ph1 & fit a ph2 dash job done lol.

Go drive a couple of Ph1s.. are there many over your way ?!

I prefer the Ph1 about a million times over the Ph2. I've had both and driven many of both kinds over the years.

Ph1 is nicer to drive, looks better and is rarer, does better MPGs (hi can'o'worms) too.

Ph2 has more electric driving aids which I severely dislike. I also HATE the FBW throttle.. the way it works an age after you press it and the lack of feel. I hate the way they look far too similar to 'non sports' and the fact they're common as muck (well around here anyway).

having only experienced owning a ph1, I cant really comment, I think the Ph1's are far better looking IMO.

If I had to have a ph2 it would only be for a 182.

I agree with the "rarety" factor as well, I've seen one other Ph1 local to me within the 6 months I've owned mine. I see Ph2's on a weekly basis

 

[Rhys Beal]

Thanks for peoples input.

Is it right that you cannot turn the traction control off on a ph1?

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

That is correct.

But only because there is none.

Driving aids... no need at all in a <200hp FWD car !

 

[Adamm.]

out of curiosity when the traction controll is turned of on the 182 is it still on partially?

I really didn't notice a difference in the drive between the 182 and my ph1 172. Maybe because I went a few month without driving between that.

 

[Rhys Beal]

lol Whoops!

Displaying a huge muppet of myself

Well that's a good bit of news then

Switching a 182's traction off is completely off

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

The only thing he Ph1 has is ABS which albeit isn't entirely necessary, is something I'd not complain at having.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Agreed FBW does really impact the drive. It's pretty much the same car though let's face it.


Just one got it right the other ones meh

My brother has got a ph1 and a ph2 and he prefers his ph1, as nice a car it is I have never had the urge to swap to a ph1 tbh
