  • The existence of this car is truly sad, it’s such an amazing and exciting car to drive. Power is absolutely limitless, but some of the horror stories about reliability issues are just deterring a lot of potential sales, not to mention the big elephant in the room. Depreciation is such a massive hit on these cars, and they’re priced really bad at R950k.
    All of that aside, this truly is a great mention, it blows away a lot of the competition. It sounds exciting, it’s sharp around the turns, and offers game changing features like the all wheel steering. I think in the next 3-4 years when all the depreciation has hit, these would be an amazing buy.

    If you’ve never driven a Megane RS you have no right to criticise.. This is the true definition of “HOT HATCH” especially in Manual transmission🔥.. insanely underrated

    Talk about a car with road presence! I just wish Renault had brought more than just 55 units in SA. They should have at least brought another 50 or so Rs300 sport/lux with the option of a panaromic sunroof, the trophy doesn't need it. Otherwise great review. 👍

    The target market for this is someone that would want the handling similar to the Type R without the controversial looks . Someone that likes to go to trackday events every weekend and push their cars to the limit . Sunroofs have a tendency of ruining the rigidity of the chassis . I'd have one of these with a manual gearbox though .

    Now RS with 221KW, Geez i can only imagine how powerful that car is.

    So being on the megane gt I can bare testimony to the capability of this car I have been in the RS but daily a gt. The car taught me that 0 to 100 is not everything but the RS is highly capable robot to robot but the 4 wheel steering is where the fun is, it makes you appreciate that a car is more than straight line speed but must be enjoyable to and especially when taking curves you don't really need to significantly reduce the speed. Yes I get it lacks a sunroof but it makes up for it elsewhere and being at 221kw for the price some dealers have the at below 700k it's worth🎉🎉
