... If you have flown 182s and quite happy then fine - My personal experience was brief - around 1980 so may not apply to later versions
that may have since been improved.
For a start I may have been spoilt in that my last a/c was a Cessna Rheims 172J - not to be confused with an ordinary 172 - having
the smooth and extra power of its Rolls Royce Continental 6 cylinder 210hp fuel injection and VP prop etc - but decided to partex against a 182 - but within first hour of flying the 182 found it heavy to handle - very noisy and rough sounding engine -and (not sure about this) was of carb heating type !
Anyway I was very glad and most releived to return to the field and fly home in my 172J.
Of course I accept that I may have been unlucky and this particular 182
was not typical of all .
