my brother has had a 182 and a 172 cup. they are sound, fast and nimble. he tried to tell me to get one when i was looking at track cars but i love the focus so went for a st170 instead. comes down to preference. you ask on a forum about any car and you will always get mixed reviews no matter what car it is.

opinions are like bumholes, everyone has one, and we all think everyone elses stinks, lol
