I never got near 140 in mine, took too long to get there and sounded like it was going to blow up at 100.
no offence, but your must have been a dog. what noises did it make at 100mph?
Was an excellent example, it was doing about a million revs by the time it got to 100, wasn't comfortable at all.
It took longer to get there than I'd want to take on most roads.
It's very much a marmite car but you clearly had a dog in terms of performance by the way you always moan about it.

A million revs 
John it's supposed to sound like that. Your obviously more at home in a diesel fabia. Petrol cars need to be revved. That's how they work.

Definitely. It was genuinely a good one though, I just didn't like it.

Looks on passenger's face at top speed is funny 
Doing over 160 in my Nova, my mate's face = priceless

I've taken my sisters 172 Cup to 120+ a few times before and it seems happy to do so, doesn't sound like its gonna explode at all.

I love my 182
Few problems with it, but i think it is due the the previous owner fitting a non renault alternator etc etc
I was looking at getting a new car, but for the price, nothing it winning me over yet
