Had an RS225 Megane for 12 months and did 12500 miles in 2004 with no faults and one recall. Sadly the depreciation was totally shocking and would put me off buying another one, though in this survey of alternative vehicles to the GTI, it would be my choice!
Before: GTI Reflex Silver, DSG, Leather, BBS VZ 18's, Cruise, Ipod. Now A4 Sline SE 220 Avant quattro.

Drove the 225 F1 before getting the the GTI. Loved the handling out of the box, sure it was firm, but no more so than an eibach set up i guess. But that meant the handling was great, seats were supportive, dash was too boring. Wasn't bothered with depreciation cos you could slash of 2k list anyway. So 16K for GTI power and handling with all the gadgetry too. Main thing that put me off was the amount of rattling trim. Only 2k miles, but sure it was a demo, still that gave me signs to walk away. Can't stand rattling cars. Saying that, my damn GTI rattles over some surfaces and it comes from the rear armrest when its folded up. Any people on here have the same fault?
