but its the f1 megane. there are 100 going to me made. cup suspension, upgraded brembro brakes. goes like stink. makes other 225s pale in comparison tbh.

looked at the new 197 while i was there. didnt have much time to crawl around it like the megane. it didnt have the presence of a normal renault sport either. something is awry with them

But it also has that ugly bum...  :(

And for the price you could have an X-type Jaguar :)

Absolutely love it...

The daft sporty decals dont add much to it, but its a fantastic looking motor.

I thought the rear looked a mess, but on the more substantial looking Meganes i.e. the sporty incarnations, it looks good, really good infact, and it goes like stink.

The Focus ST is a smart car too, but its a bit Ford(y) and well a bit stale looking for me especially the new style ones... The Megane has just the right amount of quirkiness and style (plus peformance) for me.

If your bothered about money then you might as well get a V6 vectra for a grand which has pretty much the same performance, as was pointed out to me.
