I can only speak to a 530. In a hold in lieu of PT, it automatically
sequences after one circuit, no SUSPEND. When you go into a missed
approach hold it does go into SUSPEND and remains there "forever" until
you decide to leave the hold.

Are we speaking of the same thing? In the 480 you tell it to hold, give
it the turn direction, leg length etc and it flys the hold. I've not
seen that in any other GPS product.

The positive course guidance in a 400/500W is dependent upon having a
roll steering autopilot. I doubt your 182 has a roll steering
autopilot.

Yes, the 182T does. Its not even 1 year old yet. It has a nice KAP140
autopilot. Totally hands off. Flys a full ILS down to minimums w/o
touching it. The only thing it doesn't do is fly the hold.
