    Lol its not because im bored of it, this thing around track feels like a cup racer on steroids, but i need something that can do more of everything. The Megane will be my daily and a track weapon/ring taxi. Looking at more sensible cars that can do day to day practicality with extreme track...

    Another Gearbox bites the dust

    For £220 I'd consider that a good outcome, to be honest it sounds to me RUK are really looking after you. As for the premature failures in the gearboxes who here bought a renaultsport for its legendary reliability? Some things you must accept when buying a French performance motor. Having said...

    Lol yeah Toomey Basildon, it's a cracking example and I'm warming to the white too. Cars up for sale but I've sold heavily modified cars before it can be a long and painful experience :( Think I may have priced it a bit high but what's under the bonnet alone is worth 10k! :(

    Didnt notice it, although the gear change isnt as sharp and short as the clios.

    Interior was nice no doubt. like everyone says just the colour of the motor. Although it still has 3 years warranty, 2 free services and 3 years free AA membership so a lot going for it!

    I love the white ones with black wheels but wasnt initially interested as i've done that with the 197. I really like the yellow ones but the misses has forbidden me against it :(

    Luck or a sign of things to come?

    Lucky to get this far mine fell to pieces in the first 5k but after many visits to renault dealers for warranty work it was all sorted and has been smooth ever since. If your happy with it stick with it :)

    Okay so one i test drove was a white 250 Lux model, didnt even know they did a lux version? Had the Cup chassis and leather standard seats, heated and electrical etc lovely interior no doubt. Definately a bigger/heavier car than the 197 and its instantly noticable chucking it round the...

    Im looking for something I can use everyday for work, weekend toy and an occasional track weapon. Far from an evo/scooby the megane fits the bill perfectly?
