Megane 250 Cup
Anyone care to comment?
I test drove one out on Saturday, it was the RS250 with the CUP pack. They are certainly a step up from my R230. Looks wise I thought it was ok. |

mate, I love these (i think they are one of the best looking 'nomal' cars out there at the moment.
Guy I work with had the cup, and i found it a bit too hard as a passenger. Of course driving it, may not feel as harsh Think I would like to compare standard (but more expensive?) version which has a few more creature comforts..but is slightly softer

I've had two Lotus Elise's so the hard ride doesn't put me off, adds to the whole spirited drive. |

I haven't driven one, but was impressed how quick they are on track, I wasn't much quicker in my R26.R, and I was on 888s.

I guess the basic chassis is a better platform.

Just read the top gear review on it actually, and they said the slight increase in power doesn't make that much difference...the Bridgestones stickier tyres help more.

What's the build quality like on these?
Do they still rattle and creak after a few miles on them with the rock hard suspension set up ? |

Ride quality on the R26.R isn't much worse than the BMW with the RFTs. |

Nearly bought a brand new one instead of a used 335i. In the end memories of how my old Peug 106 fell apart piece by piece was just too haunting.....also the way Renaults depreciate makes even M3/M5 look like solid investment

I don't think my Renault hasn't been hit too badly, but if they bring out a stripped out version of the current Megane prices will most likely take a tumble. When I was looking, the Clio 200s were holding their prices due to waiting list for new cars. |
