POV DRIVE: 2024 RENAULT MEGAN RS 300 TROPHY | 300HP(221KW) 420NM |

- 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.
Thanks For Watching

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
Manual transmission supposedly not very strong
@@Wandile1000 I’ve never experienced any problems with mine, I guess its down to preference then🤷🏽♂️
How could that be even possible. @@Wandile1000
Never thought I'd see this but im glad, "underrated" isnt even close..
Wait till you see one in person this thing is flawless😄👌
Have this car for about 3 months now. Love it, would never wanna drive something else at this point. It's so much fun!
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. 👍
🙏🏽
I love this car so much. Very few of them on the road just like the i30N
True that
And a GR corolla
Remember Renault has some F1 DNA so the performance cars they make will definitely be special in terms of driving dynamics. Awesome review 👌🏽
Very true!
Such a pity this is the last petrol Megane RS Renault will ever make. Brilliant car, always been the best, most capable of all the hot hatches.
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 .
Beautiful and awesome GR-Corolla competitor! Man; I wish we got this in the U.S.!
Brotherman now has me in two minds, I was convinced that I’m buying the i30N for Christmas now I’m seeing this, eyyy😂😂
Askies😂
@@mabaso_jnr lols u not a VW fan Neh 😂😂
@@princechiloane1774 I had a polo, it got stolen, then I had a golf 6 GTI for a couple weeks and ran away twice from hijacking attempts so nahhh brother😂😂 I’m okay with VW
Stick with the I30N. latest technology, fresh warrant/service plan, Hyundai has better/wider dealer networks and won't worry about parts later
@@mabaso_jnr I think this is a collectable, they keep on bringing a fewer n fewer units of these, I think it's gonna be one of the rarest cars in the next few years, and plus it's old so, most issues are probably sorted by now. If I had that choice I would defs go for this than i30N, go and drive both and choose
This car is underrated bro this is the true definition of hot hatch
Definitely
I've had my Megane 1.2 EDC 97Kw for 8 years now with no issues and that thing can keep up with so many cars in Eco mode.
Now RS with 221KW, Geez i can only imagine how powerful that car is.
I've been checking one on Auto Trader for months now and the price keep dropping, once it reaches my Budget i'm taking it.
First time seeing you this happy reviewing a car which not a VW.😂😂 I'm impressed, it's like I'm driving with you but I'm just watching 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾👌
Haha, it was was great fun 😂🙏🏽
Having to daily in a Clio 3rs and upgraded to the 275 trophy, I am really tempted to book a text drive. In this segment I will always choose Renault.
Bro your content😫🔥🔥
Haha 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
The draw back is the sunroof but its a beast🔥
You are reminding me of my Renault man, I loved that car yoh!! One of the best underrated cars

This is even crazier 😭
I drive the GT version and it's so good to drive, now this... This is king.
25:48 Oooo I have my earphones on the sound of the exhaust is amazing from save to race mode
9:13 You will never miss the paddles. The more you drive it the more you get used to them
I have had a rs trophy 300 since 21 in a manual great car won't be disappointed if you buy one brilliant for a Sunday morning blast through the .mountains
Shout out to you for this rare car review. Ive always wondered how this car performs, especially with the automatic gearbox. Great review.
When are having the BMW 128ti and Merc A35 on the channel? Would love to see your review on those two.
Keep up the great reviews👍🏽
Thank you so much 🙏🏽
I’m actively search for all sorts of cars, it’s not easy, when the opportunity comes to do the 128ti and A35 I’ll do the videos…
I understand my king. Can’t wait and I trust you will find them, as you’ve always brought us cars that some you tubers struggle to get. Shout out!
Your Presentation, English, Eloquence... bra you are doing a good job...
I appreciate that!🙏
Have mine now for 1 month and love it!
I didn't ask but u delivered The One and only 300❤😂🔥
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
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🎉🎉
man the love i have for this car. so slept on😪
Love it bro keep this up🔥🔥🔥from the Corsa utility bakkie POV to megane RS300😎🔥🔥🔥
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Daaaamn bro what a beast but those roads are too tiny men need to push it on an open road woow 😊🙌🙌😎
Looks nice. The sunroof was gonna be a nice touch. People are loyal to VW..that why we see less of these on the road. I30 come cheap
Anything close to 300kw is beast 🔥🙌
@@SirHloni 300hp
If renault is to give this car a sunroof i definitely will buy it
Finally 😊
Finally here
My all time favorite, I'm gunning for it next year..❤️❤️❤️😍🙆🏾♂️
You just earned a subscriber with this one 👌👌
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
May my work bless me this car 😢❤
Definitely getting this as my next. No doubt
big up to Nissan and Renault for creating such banger
Nissan didn't participate here. This car was done by Renault Sport now renamed Alpine. Nissan don't work on Renault Sport
@thetad1242 the engine is a Nissan engine badged as Renault. I thought you knew Renaults?
This car is very nice, especially with the orange color💯..
It really is!
Man that car is so good!
❤🔥🔥proper things
This car makes me play the lottery 😂😂
PAITENTLY WAITING FOR FORD RS REVIEW... BUT HEY GREAT CAR🤟✌
Finally 🥹🥹
It’s here now
South Africa doesn't seem to get the fully optioned 300 Trophy, in Australia these come with Recaro seats, Fujilight wheels and Potenza s007 tyres.
Heard this on another road test for an RS300 Cup Trophee, " well, if you are not driving a French hot hatch you are not driving a true hot hatch, you are just driving a four cylinder car with bling" or words to that effect. I am about to trade my RS250 Cup Trophee for an RS300 Cup Trophee.
Don't forget the Clio RS 200 too 🔥🔥📌
🙏🏽
You have to try ford focus RS... Oh my goodness 🙆♂️🙆♂️
Asibonge ❤❤
the only flaw for me is the no pan roof , south africans love sunroofs
True that
True, should have been an option on the auto model
And other markets got the Sunroof 😩😩
@@Bless_Mabunda thats y even the Toyota Corolla GR is also not popular in Mzansi , lack of the sunroof 😂
It has a panoramic roof option tho..I've seen it once or twice.
The megane Rs is a wolf under the sheep skin I swear to you guys and pls go for the test drive you'll be amazed at what the does 👏👏👏
The sad thing is it’s the last we will ever see of it… it’s so sad and so heartbreaking 💔
It’s definitely a keeper…. I would give it 5 kids and walk with around with a big Kanye ego.
If only it had the pops n bangs the car sounds soooo 🎉🎉gooood n fruity 🙆♂️🙌🙌
Are you saying it doesn't
This is what we call A masterpiece
It’s really insane
Please do the Mini JCW GP/All4
A very nice capable car. Why does it keep on beeping at you when you accelerate? Is it the traction control kicking in?
It’s a shift indicator
Asking POv of 2025 Bmw M340i LCi2
Working on it
I second this.
2025 bmw m4 review?😢😢😢
When I get the chance
No problem 👍
Moer kokwane this car sounds good yrrrrrrrrrrrrrr 😮😮😮😂😂😂😮
It really does🔥
I don't understand why this car is discontinued 😭😭😭🔥
This would be nice with a manual transmission 😊
The 2020 RS300 Trophy came with a manual if Im not mistaken .
Plz make bmw m340i 2024
I wonder why the Megane RS never had a sunroof...🤔
Megane rs or i30N🔥😮💨
It depends, but the RS is more fun
Bro can we please have ford ranger raptor🙏🏾😭
I hardly ever see this car on the road
The name of this suburb please.
I have no idea hey
I'd be worried about being car jacked. All the homes in your vid have electric fences and razor wire.
Personally, I'd say Megane RS is the hottest hot hatchback on the market it looks fascinating from sides curves, eyes she is that one hottie that dudes don't know they usually, see her when she goes to buy bread.
But there was no need for rear wheel steering for a car with a short wheel base like this one
Better driving dynamics with that.
@@embakubmotoring if so then it can work with it
Having owned one and having crashed one into a tree 4 wheel control makes the car feel unnatural on turn in, it was even removed on the trophy-R variant....it has no tuning potenial or aftermarket support as far as other hot hatch brands, the reliability is questionable especially the EDC and the DRLs over time fade and look absolutely horrendous....which is why the FL5 honda civic Type R remains king
Reliability is something i really fear…
Sorry but we doubt you owned this car. Also the RS didn't have 4 control removed.
@thetad1242 shows how much you know...the 4 control is not on the megane trophy-R variant....if I didn't own a megane how is my knowledge more than yours?
What's the cause of this tiiii sound when you accelerate
It’s a shift indicator, it’s telling the driver when to change in manual mode…
