You certainly wouldn't be able to stuff as much bush in the back of one of those go-karts as you could in a GTI  :wink:

I think its got a lot of storage space with the back seats removed! The review says it's a better ride than the current r26 f1, but I think the 5 point seat belt may come a little annoying for every day driving... I only drive evening and weekends so would work well

I also prefer driving quickly on twisties than doing 140plus on motoways!

So def some thing to think about  :evil:

I've got some bumpf at work sent to me by Renault, I'll have a look tomorrow Robin.

BTW, I meant you wouldn't get much on the back if you had the optional monkey frame fitted  :wink: Oh how my kids would love to hang off that  :grin:

I seriously entertained the notion of getting megane r26/Civic Type R/Golf GTI. I plumped for the GTI because it's a better all round car. The R26 is too harsh apparently, great on track, crap on normal roads. The Type R did not have the build quality of the GTI nor did it feel as fast or sound as good.

GTI FTW.

Quick clip of the r26r in action. Just read that its 123kg lighter than the r26 which is pretty light already.
