......and heck load of gadgets, if your really bothered about them.

Though I have a lot more interest in the Clio 197 tbh...
-
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 :)
-
yeah but you dont get the ability to do 0-65 in 6.5 seconds. and its a f**king beautiful car.
thanks to photobucket for ruining the photos by resizing them
-
The original Megane was nice, this is plain butt ugly :evil:
-
need new glasses....
-
Actually, for that price you could get the Focus ST, which id my current fascination.

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.
-
Would take the ST over that anyday!

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.

....Or 4 MR2 tubbies :mrgreen: , whichd mean 4Xcars that go 0to60mph in <6 seconds!

Yeah, but then youd be driving a Vauxhaul. Besides, it wouldnt be Electric Orange :)

It looks angry, crosseyed, and constipated at the same time.
Oh yeah...its French!

Im really dissapointed with the paint job tbh, I was expecting the same orange that the mgane 225 uses, called Inferno.

It wasnt shiny or mettalic at all, has this matt paint resin feel to it. Though I do like it. Allthough they have managed to give the ST some character and excitement along with the mechanical changes, they have also managed to make you forget its still a Ford Focus.
One of the most boring yet best cars ever made. Though you probably do forget that when your driving it. :-)

i like the look of that!
-
i would take the f1 stickers off the front and frame them lol
i know some prick in a carpack will nick them otherwise
-
Stickers! For that price it should be sprayed on as part of the paintjob tbph.
Jaimz :rock:
-
the ones on the sides are but the front ones are stickers.
seriously this car has presence.
-
Im abit 50/50. I cant make me mind up if its great or crap.
I dont like the rear end for a start but that blue one looks kinda cool in that pic.
-
Oi! Theres nowt wrong with my 2.6 SRi! Although I did pay considerably more than a grand for it. The difference between a small turbo car and mine is that while youre building the revs to get the turbo working, Im already gone. In gear acceleration is good and its so torquey you could literally put it in 5th and drive it like an automatic. Currently on 104k and still pulling like a train.

the orangey one is pretty. :wub:
I like the color of the old VW GTIs too--and didnt Porshe do an orange on their cars way back in the way back?
-
ST>225 anyday
