All show, no go!!

Go for a CTR mate, lets keep the 182 as rare as possible!! I can understand why you want rid of the VTS, they are fast taking over from Novas as the Chav motor of choice!!

I get £350 per month car allowance and that pretty much covers the finance and insurance (I am 29 with 5 years NC) on my 182. I do about 350 miles per week mainly on the motorway and its fine. The cruise control is very handy for the motorway as well.

The comments made by CocoPops regaurding the Stooping by non cupped 182 owners is a bit harsh!!, just because i didnt go for the cup sus does not mean i dont look after my car!! As for the whole second hand debate, you could say that second hand 182s with cupped sus would be in a worse...

I have had the same problem as pkimber with the cruise control. It is indeed a bit of a strange one. Now done 10899 miles and so far so good. Nearly time for the first service!!!

I kinda wish i had gone for the cup suspension with mine (Got the spoiler pac) but when i bought it i did not really think it would make much difference and i thought that the silver wheels would match the car colour better (Silver), but having heard the opions on this fine forum i really wish i...

Good post langers, i agree with most of your points. I did not go for the cup sus pack, kinda wish i had now after reading all the posts about what a difference it makes over the standard set up. I am still real happy with the car. She should be going in for her 12,000 mile service soon so that...

Not that often, its only happened twice.

Mine seems to do the 3 beep thing if the alarm has gone off (Say in the middle of the night) and i go back to the car in the morning and unlock it.

^^ Good point!!!

Got mine done at an AA service centre for £27. That included GTX Magatic.

Stripes are gay!

Done 8000 miles. Good: Level of standard kit, pretty quick. Bad: Torque steer, Crap dealers, Poor audio, Chavs wanting to race you in their Novas......... All in all pretty pleased with it. Build quality is not great but you cant expect mircles for the price you pay for one.

Most of my driving is motorway stuff and i am getting about 36 mpg. Pretty happy with that.

Blink, cos Blink 182 are one of my fav bands.
