breamy Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) After owning my gti for nearly 3 years and doing 45k in it it was time for something different. There was nothing vw in my price range that was remotely fun. test drove one of these and loved it. some rubbish pics as i cant find my camera charger-http://img441.imageshack.us/i/dsc6125r.jpg/http://img683.imageshack.us/i/dsc6688.jpg/Doing what it does best-http://img97.imageshack.us/i/40921101502624035857138.jpg/http://img829.imageshack.us/i/40921101502624036007138.jpg/http://img265.imageshack.us/i/58487101502624059857138.jpg/Its very very fun to drive. im so happy with it opinions?

Defcon5 Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Doing what it does best-Holding everyone else up by the looks of those pics Never driven one, but RS certainly make good handling cars, so I cant imagine this is any different! Is that the F1 or R26? Their line-up is so confusing, there are about 8 different types of RS Megane.How much was it out of interest? What else did you test to compare it to?

breamy Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 The range is very confusing. its an r26 f1 lol. the slightly older models are just f1 not r26 so dont have the lsd.Paid £9250 for it with 30k on the clock. which i think was a good price but i had to travel a long way for it.I compared it to pretty much everything in the same sorta class and my budget. mk5 gti, focus st, astra vxr also a clio 200 but felt that was lacking a little power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 How come you chose it over the others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breamy Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 It just felt the best all round package. the others just seemed heavy and wallowy. i have my car for fun and track days and a van for work and the megane was the most fun. coming from a gti with kw v2s arb's and poly bushes the others just seemed unstable cornering and not as planted. with the megane the handling is very good standard and that combined with the lsd makes it a great drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam bignell Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Good choice, I'd like to think I could save enjoy for the R26R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breamy Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 the 26r is a lovely car just so expensive at the moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
