For me it's the yellow one, but I'd be happier buying direct from Renault, and thanks to Kevin for helping me. I just need someone to make a decision for me!!!

Personally i would rather have THIS ONE at that price.

Sport with cup chassis and recaros for the same price as those above with less than half of the mileage.

not from renault but still.....

Out of those 2, Not the yellow one. It's a very basic spec and wtf is up with the mudflaps? the only thing in my opinion it has going for it is the 18". No DRLs on the blade, No Bi-Xenon (so no vision pack).

The 2nd one on the other hand has DRLs and Bi-Xenon (so potentially vision pack inc folding wing mirrors, tinting rear view mirror etc) but it has the crashier 19" but that's not a deal breaker.

Why from Renault and why 2011 plates out of interest?
 
I don't see how the yellow one is a poor spec, has heated full leather, cup pack, nice wheels - I like it!

I want to do a pcp on it so it needs to be from a large dealer, and 11 plate so there's still warranty on it! And I really don't know about those 19" wheels....

I can't seem to find out about what to look for when viewing these cars - does not much go wrong? Are they the same gearbox as the Clio?

From all the reviews they just have praise for it!

Because heated leather seats are part of the standard "FullFat" spec, they aren't an option hence the poor spec remark I made. The only option the yellow one has is the Cup Pack (the 18" are part of the Cup pack).
The standard Renaultsport Megane 250 has leather seats with heated front seats, climate control, automatic headlamps, rain sensing wipers, a tyre pressure monitor and a satnav option.

That's understandable about the Renault dealership and PCP but bare in mind PCP works when the car is no older than 4yrs at the end of the term. An 11 plate will not qualify for that now as we are in 2013, you need to be looking at 2012 cars unless I'm mistaken? Id double check this first before looking at potential cars.

The gearbox is a Nissan unit unlike the Clio's which is a Renault unit. They are bullet proof so far compared to other Renaults, the joys of being a newly developed platform after the Nissan adoption. Theres no "RS250" faults to look out for, just general car checks.

But you have to remember it also works in our favour too. If they were aware of the "desired" optional extras the cars may be priced very differently :wink:
