      marcooconnor the Golf has a level of overall refinement that all the others have a hard time keeping up with. The Golfs have never been a bad looking car, they are just on a more mature level of style, not really flashy at all. Think that’s what he means by sheek

      Eduardot12345556 they do well enough for their segment. But they would never sell as much as crossovers. If we could somehow convince people that lover center of gravity + a better hatch platform is better than most crossovers...at least I did my part. Hot hatch FTW.

      They wouldn't sell because it's about the same price as a Camaro SS or a Mustang.

      Ever since the early '90s the French have been afraid to return to the US market. The competition here is too fierce for them.
      I do think that if they return, the Clio could beat the focus, though.

    My father's swore by Renault all of his parenting life, and only had a brief fling with an Opel Vectra (which i would own one of later and love, but not for any other reason than it being my first car). He's had three Lagunas. two station wagons and one sedan. They're not great cars, but they do the job, and they will always be a part of my childhood.
    I never thought i'd say I wanted a Renault myself, but this Megane RS looks to die for.

      Brody, they took a normal Mk2 Clio and stuck a 3 litre V6 in the back of the (then) tiny Clio, made it rear wheel drive and stuck massive intakes on the side of the car. That said it would be brilliant if they did something similar again or made the Renault Zoe e-sport a reality.

      ahh j'ai jamais dis que les voitures allemandes etait meilleures et de toute façon mettre un moteur diesel dans une toute petite voiture n'a aucun sens donc dans les deux cas je trouve sa stupide. Mais si tu veux des allemands au moins eux ils ont des modèles pour chaques categories de voitures de sport et sont tres competitif sur ces marché la. Je vois jamais de berlines sportive ou de supercars francaise, et encore moins competitive avec le marché actuel.

    • @silvanbouma7844
      @silvanbouma7844 6 років тому

      *Click*ele, because in my opinion a manual transmission is much more fun and gives you a bit more control over the car.

    • @silvanbouma7844
      @silvanbouma7844 6 років тому +1

      *Click*ele yeah you're right DCT's are incredible and I definitely don't hate them, but some cars like the Megane RS don't really need a super fast automatic transmission because I think they’re the kind of cars where the driver experience is more important than how fast it is. As for super, sport or hyper cars I think you’re absolutely right. Those cars can benefit a lot from DCT's and they should use them. I think that's kinda where the hate comes from: DCT's are great but not every car needs them.

      To each their own of course but I don't understand why everyone goes on about autos being bad. It's not the 80s anymore and they're awesome systems nowadays. Having said that, I'm glad they've given the choice for people who really don't want an auto because RS cars are fantastic to drive.

    • @andreahamza9385

But yah overall the Renault looks better exterior wise. Interior wise however the civic looks much better.

    • @bebertease
      @bebertease 7 років тому +10

      Because power without control is useless. And Renault's philosophy is making cars for corners more than straight lines.

    • @JJ_ExMachina
      @JJ_ExMachina 7 років тому +2

      The car is designed to be obtainable by mere mortals... Sticking in an engine over 2.0L makes the cost of ownership more then the target demographic is willing/able to pay. Plus fuel economy and emissions also play a huge role I am sure, but everything boils down to money in the grand scheme of things. Then of course with the way manufactures are obtaining power from smaller engines these days, there really is no need to shoehorn anything bigger into the car.

      @zoufmalade 7 років тому

      I've always find that to be absurd. What regulations ? Smog tests ? As if this Megane polutes more than any V engined car in the US. Safety regulations ? It's on par (and the normal Megane is already more than that) with the already highly strict european rules. So is it just a matter of fitting side reflectors and mph reading dials ? Or is it just some disguised protectionism ?

    • @TheHugolob
      @TheHugolob 7 років тому

      This is far more complex than that. Learn about regulation before judging, as a student mechanical engineer specialised in cars i can tell you it's far more than a bumper and some lights
