sold my golf saturday and have purchased an inferno megane sport
just had too many problems with the golf and only had to pay extra 100 quid to get the megane
time will tell if i have made the right choice. certainly drives alot better than the golf did.
will most prob hang around here as this is prob the best car forum ive ever joined so credit to everyone for that

:sick:

when i was looking at the golf i considered the r26 but thought it was too much of a
chavvy track car. Too harsh and too stripped out for very little benefit. I like my toys and gadgets and couldn't resist the rns 510 sat nav
-
my ed 30 is now over 3yrs old, and am thinking of replacing it soon, but what with. i really like the look of the megane 250 rs, but would be worried about what it would be worth after 3yrs. that leaves me with focus rs, or mk 6 gti. what would you all choose?
-
I'll say from the off I picked a MK6 (hence me being here)
I had no experience in GTI's before this car, so perhaps I don't feel the need for change as you would.
Of the focus and the Megane 250, I would pick the RS 250.
- IMO the RS 250 looks better (the focus just attracts too much attention for my liking - looks like a space ship).
- round a track the RS250 is quicker
- I think the RS 250 is cheaper
- The RS 250 will defo lose more for depreciation (problem with French cars) but I reckon it would offer more fun, more comfort, less unwanted attention, better consumption and a better change from the Ed30 than the focus.
Also all the reviews of the RS250 are excellent.
I haven't said anything here to defend the Mk6 GTI... perhaps that says it all :wink:

Now where's the ban hammer :laugh:
Only kidding, The Megane is like a golf....Just not a Golf :evil:
-

One of these - ED30, R32, MKVI GTI, S3 Sp'back, S4... (VAG whore :laugh:)
Of the focus and the Megane 250, I would pick the RS 250.
^^^ as would I. The scary residuals might put me off, but I really like it in white.

have you seen what audi are asking for an S3? i think its being replaced soon as well!the focus is a bit chavvie, but does look very nice in the flesh, just dont know if i could own a ford :undecided:as you say, the megane is a great car, but will be worth next to nothing in a few years time. that leaves mk6 golf or golf R. my ed 30 is bluefinned, but from what i've been hearing/reading, some mk6 golfs are making 220-225 bhp, about the same as a standard ed30, so i may have to try and get a test drive in a dsg version and see how it compares, i know stevep is doing a few performance mods to his at the moment and will be interested to see how that comes out.
-
.....
er, the S3 and R are pretty much the same running gear... and the S3 is cheaper, even before a discount!
You are right though, next year a new A3/S3 will be here, but so will a five-cylinder RS3 with about 350bhp. :drool: :shocked:
IMO, VW just isn't a 'premium' enough brand to demand £30k+ for a Golf.
To the OP :: I like the Renaultsport brand :afro:

.........need to be on here mate. www.meganesport.net :smiley:

no, i agree, a golf R with a few options comes in at about £35000 :sick: just isn't worth that outlay as it looks like a poverty version of a diesel golf. a good specced S3 isn't that far behind either. going to have a look at a focus soon.
-
The megane is not a bad car if you can get over the shocking electrics and whatever their excuse is for that shoddy gearbox :sick:
:smiley:
-
I think in black it would look quite good.
The bumper reminds me of the old style s3's.
As it is though, that is unmistakingly an orange car sir.

I'm also ready to chop my GTi in. what with fuel prices and added miles a week now - it makes sense to buy a diesel for now. Looking at a 07 330d M sport at the moment. Fab cars, I've had 2 before.

I quite like them.
Whats with the photoshop of the Audi badge?

Its the grill off an s3, showing the similarity.
