It's the best car I've ever had - super reliable, and great fun to drive.
The parts are cheap, so you get the satisfaction that comes from using genuine OEM parts for all maintenance and repairs. I had the aux belt done 2 years ago at a cost of £180, and the 5 year cambelt service is due next November at £500. Otherwise it's almost free motoring.

After looking at silly cars for a silly amount of time, it still feels like a 182 is actually the weekend car I’m after (I just need to make the extra money for it not to be an absurd expense, lol).
How was running it, fairly economical as a fun car? Phaser pulleys and other maintenance stuff manageable?
