My brother in law is on his 2nd 182. The 1st he got rid of within 6 months of buying it as it was nothing but bother. So he just bought a basic 1.8 Focus which was fine until it was just written off. He has now just bought another 182 & within 2 weeks of having it he's already just had a garage bill of nearly £350.
Also as i said before, regardless of performance i'd still pick a Fiesta. I wouldn't pick a car just because it's faster than a different car
So you let your brother in law get stung for £350 by a garage but you work on cars for a living - I note you don't tell us what was wrong to cost £350.
Must be shit though if he got another one, I know I always buy more of the same shit when I find something is shit...........
I hear brown is a desirable colour for a car which could also be a reason for picking a car.
Horses for course - the OP asked a question, someone spouted some bollocks and it has now been corrected.
But for the record.
