Whatever you do, don't buy the standard Megane with the 2.0 litre we have. Crappest sounding engine in the world...

Oh yes, I would love a renaultSport Megane 265 trophee!

I could be swayed into a 'r' but no much chance of that happening.

The Clio RS looks pretty yummy, but kinda feels like only a small step forward from the Polo - Though race mode is pretty amazing, who doesn't want to see the power, wheel torque and boost they're making on a funky graph?

For 36k on the road? I'll pay that and then some (still wanting to get the A45....lol).

Or what wouldnt you be getting?

I've been thinking

New Golf
Current Golf
Newer Polo 2014
Bargain Golf R

Or going back to Japanese and getting
Veloster turbo
86
???

I sold my Polo about 6 weeks ago and picked up a GTS 86. There is no comparison. The 86 is brilliant, whereas the Polo was good. Obviously it doesn't have the all round practicality of a hatch, but if you can live without the load lugging ability I'd recommend it. The interior of the GT feels very cheap, but the GTS manages to recitify a lot of the faults. While the VW interior feels a little more prestige the GTS doesn't feel like a huge step down.

WHY NO MANUAL??
I wonder if Renault's dry dual clutch gearbox works properly?

The cup model arrives in 2014...I'd be the one to bet and wait on the Sport Chassis (possibly late 2014/early 2015).

A lot of standard kit...147kw from a 1.6 liter turbo....the polo is 135? or something like that?

I would prefer a manual as well...damn

After owning a Peugeot 206 GTi 180 for six years I will never trust french reliability again. This applies exponentially based on the complexity of the vehicle.

Never mess with a Meganne Sport driver. Hahahaha
Got over taken by one when I was already doin $1.15 into a 60km/h corner.
I gave him the thumbs up and just smiled. Nice work.
ALthough I only had my car for less than an hour at the time. I reckon I'll have a better crack at him next time.. Hahahahaha
