The same as my Rover ZS 180 ?

I still drive it around (cant find anything to replace it with) and i still rate the chassis better than the Impreza i had.

It handles facking SWEET!

I like the ZS 180's, something I considered before the Clio. Thank Honda (again) for the front double wishbone and multi-link rear setup!

A lad i used to know had a mint turbocharged 182 not long after the 182 came out and had spent a fortune building it. It was fully forged and had an LSD, coilovers, r888s etc and put out a true 340bhp on the dyno. Was bloody rapid to be fair, prehaps not as solid at really high speeds as something bigger but hell did it take corners etc :-D
