Ever drive a real Megane R.S.? My wife had a new '13 Megane R.S. Trophy+. Before she got it, they didn't look like a hot hatch. The design was weird. It looked like a 4x4.
We test drove one. It was just the R.S.265 with 18" wheels. The trick Sport button, that boosted hp from 250 to 265 and the snap crackle and pop from the exhaust changed all my mind.
A year after that test drive, my wife told me to meet her on Acland Street in Melbourne. She picks me up in her black on black Trophy+, 19" wheels, Brembos, glass roof. It was a rocket. Interior space, handling, brakes. I saw why it was king of the Nurburgring for FF cars.
Shame it's gotten a bad wrap in the game. It was a fantastic, trouble free performance car.
