Why do people keep posting this? Discussion has moved onto the merits of the Megane 225's now so why would it get shut down?
If I'm happy to soldier on through all the crap to get to the occasional useful stuff that gets posted, I see little reason for the thread to get shut down. After all, most of the entertainment is at my expense as far as everyone else is concerned.

Mike, is the real reason for selling it that you're trying to find a car that you can beat your dad at the IOW Car Club autotest in? It must be getting pretty embarrasing that the old man can consistently just jump into a car you drive every day and kick your arse. Have you thought of taking up another hobby? It might be cheaper than buying a new car each time it happens.
Ill just leave this quote here. Might come in useful in 6 months or so.
I almost wasn't going to rise, but I'll correct you once again in the hope that in future you may stop talking non-sense when you clearly don't have a clue
At the point where we had both done an equal amount of runs, I was beating him by a fair margin, he was most upset and stayed with the Clio when I had to leave for a family lunch, in an effort to beat my time.
I'm still less than a second off his time and third in my class, without having the benefit of extra runs later in the day, which not only offers the opportunity to gradually improve your times by working on your mistakes, but offers a cleaner course.
To give you an idea of what opportunity those extra runs and running later in the day offers, I was fifth when I left and 22nd by the time people had done the rest of their runs
...in 22 different cars. Therefore the only valid comparison is 2 people in the same car. Say, for example, a father and son combination, where the father is almost a second quicker?
Afternoon All. Received a ping from a mate telling me how thread has gone crazy lol. I had to see it to believe it!
Well Well Well....
Okay, so I've just been scanning the thread. Not clued up on everything (first time I've read this thread in like a month or two). So you want to get rid of the 182 and possibly get an RX8!
Bold choice. I owned an RX8 (190bhp) once.... Decent ride.... Nice seats too. Can I just say theres a reason why Mazda dont sell the RX8 in Europe anymore..... Its because the car emits too much co2.
Its also very expensive to maintain. In my opinion a car with less than 300bhp should not require a £400 road tax disc (registered post March, 2006).... Neither should it have an average mpg figure that rivals todays super cars!
Stick with your 182!
Well Well Well....
All very well, but I'm not almost doubling my budget to achieve it. I already know the RX8 gels well with our roads, I know I love the drive and I'm sufficiently informed about them to make an educated decision

I'm sorry to hear that
The operative word should be can't [sell], why would I care about how much co2 it emits?
Fuel economy is irrelevant, as is road tax really, although I'll probably be looking at pre-2006 models, unless a particularly deal pops up on a newer one.
No thanks
I'm sorry to hear that
Why?
The 190 version has more torque. Apart from the difference in torque, bhp and the additional gear there is no real difference!
Cosmetically, you get some blades on the gills and a few other bits and pieces.
The RX8 (imo) is way too underpowered.... Its an insult to the RX7s that came before it lol.
Gonna bank this one too.
