Renault Megane RS250 vs Golf GTI review

[Capercat]

it's ok if you don't like women. it's the 21st century, you just keep on being fabulous. personally i have only seen caymans (caymen?) driven by men. manly men, with manly mates. i hear that before you buy one the porsche dealer sits you on a chair with a hole in it, and gently confirms your gender to make sure you aren't a secret woman out to give cayman drivers a bad name.

A few posts ago I was a yuppie, now I'm a woman that supposedly doesn't like women.

Has the recent Queensland weather affected your intellect? or is it the result of inbreeding...

LOL.. I spun my 306 GTi6 twice. Trailing throttle oversteer

BAHAHA nice! I never managed a spin, but I had a nice brow-pants moment not 5 feet from the guard rail in the wet. Gathered it up nicely and looked around to see if anyone had noticed

that engine cover doesn't exactly set the world on fire, does it? and if you look in your boot, you'll see string lifting up your rear parcel shelf as well. does this mean that renault have cut every corner they possibly could? hint, it's a trick question.

Was comparing MkIV to MkV and MkVI Golfs not Renaults for that one. I don't actually have a problem with the weighted balls but my point is that VW have gone backwards in regards to that.
Also as pointed out that's not actually an engine cover on the Clio.

Love the alloy look

BTW is that a red durometer polyurethane engine mount on the left?

My personal favourite is the giant hole in the air intake for added cabin induction noise. I mean even the Clio has it (you see the small holes in picture posted above) but still a hole that size is ridiculous.

i didn't did say you were a woman. i apologise without reservation if i misinterpreted your earlier comments about middle aged women. could you clarify them?

and we have lovely weather here and lots of mexicans too. come on up, you'll feel right at home.

This is spooky, the automated Google adds below are reading into our posts.

lol if it's for induction noise, i never hear it. the rest of the time the exhaust pops and exhaust burble drown out anything happening up front.

i've driven a few quick clios but at 6 foot 4 and 110kg, it was fun till it started to hurt (that's what she said). still good fun though. have you tracked yours yet?

The XSI was a bit of fun for that - I can only imagine that the GTi-6 would be even better.

I've been looking into a Xsara VTS as well - they seem to be nicely rear driven for a fwd.

lol what? the button presses are the same distance apart as in the mkv. seriously

They are not as intuitive as in the MkV being clustered together and not separated.

that's the outside of the car. amazingly relatives may have to grudgingly accept that you car even has a filler cap on the wrong side of the car to theirs!.

Still a cost cutting measure.

pocket shape has changed. size is the same, i can fit the same amount of stuff as in the mkv but there's more room in the vi for bigger bottles.

Try fitting a large street directory in there.

wrong. temp is displayed as illuminated numbers around the selector wheel. seriously, are you kidding me here? if that were the case how could vw sell mkvis without the touch screen?.

Again - another cost cutting measure instead of the dedicated illuminated LCD screens for each side.

really? i know which one will be worth more after 5 years! hint, it's the one with touch screen head unit as a really cheap option..

I don't know why you are talking about head units when I was talking about chrome accents on vents and the steering wheel. Just for your information, late model MkV GTIs came standard with RCD510s and could be optioned with RNS510s.

there were people who didn't like the red/blue scheme either..

Seriously colourblind people perhaps or people with a hole in their head.

i have. the quality is as good or better than the mkiv, which was better than the mkv.

Only In your dreams. The quality is so much better than the mkV that they included the rattles as a bonus.

well, that was easy too. I don't understand why MkVI GTI owners always get so defensive over their choice. Facts are facts - embrace them
