225 v. 180: Who has driven both and your opinion?

Marius B

Same chassis, no handling difference. 225 has more power, better (6-speed) transmission, less noise

No torque steer, no chirping of front tyres on take off - unless REALLY gunning it and all four wheel chirp, less prone to terminal understeer in the q than the FWD - both the 180q and 225q are more neutral than the 180 FWD. Also the 225 is MUCH quicker than the 180, especially in mid and high gear acceleration. Just breathing on the gas pedal in the 225 sees it up to 100mph!!

Yes, I didn't even think of the FWD here. Very different. Not "dissing" it, though!
