It's an impressive car but there's a lot of better options I think. As you say the TTRS is slightly quicker but the biggest benefit for me of the TTRS is the looks (the RS3 just looks heavy).

Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't buy it, but if I had just dropped over £40k on a performance car and an ugly French hatchback destroyed me on a track day, I'd be wondering where my money went.

Pretty valid point but there will always be something faster. Might as well buy the car you like.

Megane will be fast right up to the point where it self destructs, all fast french stuff does, my mother in law has a 207 thp and it has been nothing but trouble and is currently at the dealer having it's engine stripped for the 12th time :angry:

I had a Saxo diesel for 13 years and it was faultless apart from a leaky radiator near the end but that was due to a stone cracking it. Some French don't surrender so easily.

Save £12k and get the new Megane. Runs rings round those two, literally.

I find it hard to believe that anyone looking to drop £40k+ into an RS3 will even glance towards a Renault dealership or anything within, no matter how good it it perceived to be.
Someone looking to spend £40k+ on an RS Audi doesn't give a toss how quick or good handling a Megane is.
They will but the RS3 because it's impeccably built and easy to go very quickly in, with little effort....and I doubt too many buy them with trackday performance top of the list either.
