well due to a lot of hype, people do tend to get dissapointed, it's a nice car to drive though, and nice interior but quite cramped

Was this a 172 or Cup? Cups are much quicker.

They are quicker and lighter. Its not all about speed, they out handle 172's as well as being faster.

had a test drive in a 182 last week. cup would totally dick on it, if i was to get one it would defo be the cup. 182 isnt a great deal quicker than mates 16v, plus it didnt go round corners as well.

It was level before the bend then i went ahead..on the straight again and it was level again..

THe 172 came in normal std and cup. The 182 is the newer version and the CUP isn't done but they offer a sports package which they add lighhter wheels and better suspension to the std 182.
