- It's a tough game, the Hot Hatch segment, with so many amazing cars. Focus ST, Golf GTi, Audi S3 and Hondas blisteringly quick FK8 Civic Type-R. While the Megan might not be the fastest in a straight line, the way it handles and how it looks make it my hot hatch of the moment.
I absolutely loved it! I'm sure the video will leave you in little doubt!!

Nice to see my cup s which I still own and love!
Hi Michael, I bet you're glad you kept a hold of that one. We all absolutely loved that car when it was here. By far the nicest Mk3 Meg R.S. we've had. We have a Mk4 Trophy-R coming in this week. Should pop by to check it out. Even has the carbon wheels.
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Great real-world test - fantastic car - crying shame they don't make them anymore
Isn't it! Will help residuals stay firm though, which is great for the owners 👍
That’s a nice looking car lovely colour , are you going to get a video up on the e92 m3 ?
I’ve been looking at it on your website 😂
Next video will be in a couple of weeks as I'm away this Thursday (although I'm still hoping to be able to make a video - just a different type!). If its still here, be rude not to 👍
I also hate the race display, I have a 280cup thankfully can change it though in the mode configuation and change the display to how you like, display 2 is my go to, lovley large classic rev counter and the large speedo in the middle and it all matches the ambient lighting for the back lighting of the rev-meter. It's set as default on sport mode. (Side note. aftermarket exhausts on these although louder when you're going, the cold start is always tamer than the standard one I found, good for the neighbours a suppose.)
Hi Large Coke, yeah I just found this out on the Trophy-R we have, which is based on the pre-facelift car. What the hell they were thinking of with that Race Display, I'll never know!! doesn't even show what rpm, just daft bars heading into the middle!!
@@JamesGlenCarSales1982 I’ll have to check out that trophy R, gearbox has just been replaced on my 280 at 27k miles and I can feel more things going wrong got some oil in my coolant tank now right after getting my gearbox head gasket? Oil cooler? 😂😭.
Great video mate, and lovely car!!! Do you know what size spacers the owner has on this?? Front and rear?? As they seem to fit perfectly,,,, thank you 😊
Thank you mate! Appreciate that! This car really impressed me. I don't know, but I'll see if the owner can remember (he's since sold it on). Stephen
Thank you mate, no worries if you can’t remember, just thought I’d ask as it sits lovely…. So wondered how low and what spacers he had on it 😊
if i was to sell my fk2 type r the fk8 or megane 280 would be my next car..theres one near to where i live and its the only one about for miles compared to s3's golfs etc
I love their rarity. The FK8 is a monster of a thing, quicker in a straight line and beautifully suspended (rides incredible even on a 20inch wheel), but one b road in the Meg, and you're hooked.
as a renault specialist, the 4control rs cars are a Blast to drive
Thanks for the comment! I've always been an RS fan, but this really impressed even more than I expected!
