Renault makes very good engines :) but on the megane often people have problems with electrics which are weak. Plus, the sitting position is perfect in that car, I don't know what that guy is talking about.
Don't search scuses or others things, the only truth to say is that since several years now the best FWD commercial racing cars are made by Renault Sport !! ^^
All i ever see is complaints about Renault i own 2 a stock 1.6 16v 2004 and i own a sport and both run fine dont need much work and both look mint. never had any issues and mine are checked yearly and i prefer both to anything else. the stock 2004 has new tyres from renault sport and the rest is stock. the sport is stock and does the job.
I had a 1.4 16v and it was brilliant, other than biting point ( which I got used to) I used to bomb it pretty much every drive, at 70k , last day I had it I got 125+ out of it
that's a common fault on Renaults but has a really easy fix. one of my family had a Laguna that did it he got it looked at and its never happened since
hi can you tell me what the fix? im having the same problem on my megane.. it says check injection.. its really driving me crazy.. and renault is asking a fortune to repair it.. thanks in advance
every where tends to forget about the nissan primera P12 its a beast. i can pull 0-60 in 6.6 seconds and its not turbo charged. when i come across a renault magane sport i pulled away from it then it passed me at 130mph... (only just) shame they dont build them any more really
always turns into the US-Euro war real quick doesn't it. Yeah, the US is defo catching up with some cars that actually handle, but you have to admit, for YEARS the US has made cars that are all about straight line performance and not much else. Now you catching up/caught up with the ricers and the euros.
All French brands race and win. Renault wins, Citroen destroy all cars in WRC, Peugeot succeed everywhere except f1 and renault has succeded many time in f1, so never forget that
The Golf R will be around £26,000 and anything you see in the video can be had for around £12,000 for a good un! The VXR has the same dash as the bog standard model...I would go 4 the 225 Cup anyday of the week! We all have 2 live in the real world and run them!
French design is very particular and very advanced, German brand just put on their car what works well, Renault designers will ever give people what they see like the car of the future not like a car that u could buy. Mercedes CLS is a piece of art for its fucking surpriisng and nice design . Thats harder to design this car than designing a C class or an audi A4 which will never really change to continue making money.
Yeah, I have to agree sometimes you look at G.M.'s decisions and think to yourself: Are they intentionally trying to go out of business or are they on crack.
For the one who want en even better hothatch than the very best Renault Megane r26, w8 a moment. A very very radical version will be out. New engine ,more power, new brakes (better than already perfect brambo ones), lighter for better performance.
If u need help i would just add that Megane is the best hothatch of its category. And to finish with french car, u have to know if ur not ignorant like many here that Peaugeot(which rulz in LeMans series and destroy Audi TDI EVERYTIME with his HDI FAP) and Renault makes the best gasoil engine in the world, the DCI engine is the best of its category again and the next V6 on the Laguna Coupé will be huge
Ya clown .. its called racing lines. If you notice she's come tight in on the apex, and gone wide out of the corner, to tuck in tight on the apex of the next corner. Plato on the other hand just floated out with a bit of steering wobble.
i.c.o Megane: if you are a little bit over the wheel then why not set it properly? Driving Vauxhall/Opel Astra is like you were driving on rubber gum - there is absolutely no feedback from the wheels. Driving a Megane is very easy and comfortable.
only issue ive had to date really is track rods and they are easily replaced. the tyre pressure sensors are also shite. One corroded so bad that it broke off when i tried to put air in it and the core flew out and the air pissed out. Renault only give you those shitty foam fills too instead of a spare. Have you got a spare to fit round the calipers?
PP talks about design, driving position or materials. Fuck, I think a car is good for his behaviour on the track, do 1 lap megane vs others, we will see which is the best car, the TRACK is the only one Judge.
im not saying that euro cars suck im just sick and tired of people saying american cars can only go in a stait line if thayed understand that the roads here are not like the ones over there reduces the need every car to be top notch handleing cars
I'd go for the megane, who wants a vauxhall .. They are pretty terrible 2, the vxrs were put together so cheap and the engines are jus mapped with no strengthend engine parts. That's the case with the corsa vxr anyhow
If u don't race and win dont make performing car, make opel or ford car with nice cuir finition (u no thats easy it was not the aim of french car before but it about to change withthe new c5, laguna III and next 408)but u will never be able to offer a real good performing car with the price of a Megane, and thats the same case concerning chassis
And thats strange but ppl say french cars sucks, another best hot hatch of its category is called 207 RC, and i guess its Peugeot's home made hot hatch, same case back years for 206 rc. It destroys ur OPC Opl or ur cooper. U know why ? I help you, best chasssis inthe world are... French. Buy huge mercedes with nice cuir finition and rims let french car for real men.
utter crap!!! new megane r26r would leave all licking their wounds...its just awsome!! check it on you tube going around nuringburg race course.....a1.
ok if you want to be politically correct most cars have a spare or space saver then some have the foam to fill a puncture and then some have run flat tyres, and i work for renault so i do know what im talking about.
Potatoes ? ok, so 208 rc is a potatoe, C5 is a potatoe, 407 coupé, 408 coupé, 206 rc,citroen C4, citroen picasso II, 307 they are not all made to give high performance and they look very nice and sportive.Same for the Megane and the next one wil be nicer. So ur theory concerning potatoe is somthing like shit. Maybe u was hunger when u wrotte this comment.
the megane has the best chassis, thats it !
Renault makes very good engines :) but on the megane often people have problems with electrics which are weak. Plus, the sitting position is perfect in that car, I don't know what that guy is talking about.
I've got a megane, never had a single issue, its been a great car, i would buy another any day
Still have it?
The amount of body roll the Astra has vs the Megane is astronomical.
Don't search scuses or others things, the only truth to say is that since several years now the best FWD commercial racing cars are made by Renault Sport !! ^^
Astra, that amount of power inside such a small car is epic! :D
girl at work has got that actual megane! same reg!
Renault is LEGEND CAR!!!

@@Roginator007 nope they ain't.
I hate it when they say a particular model is as or more powerful than a brand.
that's a common fault on Renaults but has a really easy fix. one of my family had a Laguna that did it he got it looked at and its never happened since
hi can you tell me what the fix? im having the same problem on my megane.. it says check injection.. its really driving me crazy.. and renault is asking a fortune to repair it.. thanks in advance
its the ecu or the sensor that forces it in to a safe mode. look it up honesty my dad got it done at a local garage
@@3drowninglessons
That was literally no help whatsoever.
what about the golf r or the new astra vrr that will be released in 2011?
lololololol you are sick, renault megane r26 is the best hot hatch ever eat ford's at breakfast
every where tends to forget about the nissan primera P12 its a beast. i can pull 0-60 in 6.6 seconds and its not turbo charged. when i come across a renault magane sport i pulled away from it then it passed me at 130mph... (only just) shame they dont build them any more really
@fishboy01 Oh he's not bald. And they later discussed that and supposedly he did it for a bet.

The Cobalt is built on a euro platform (Delta) as far as I know.
@jasonf81 what about focus rs
Renault all the way
To the garage.
SabretoothSnail the Vauxhall will end up on the hard shoulder like most Vauxhall’s do.
All French brands race and win. Renault wins, Citroen destroy all cars in WRC, Peugeot succeed everywhere except f1 and renault has succeded many time in f1, so never forget that
Fifth gear is less offensive than top gear,but both are interesting tv products
@fishboy01 If you waited till the end of the video he explains it..................
nice hat jason
Why do I keep leaving the VXR's way behind then in a race?
@DRZREALEST i's not a Chevy astra it's a saturn astra, good point nevertheless.
Excellent. Joined.
yes, the focus RS...? I dont understand
brad pickett driving the megane?
The Golf R will be around £26,000 and anything you see in the video can be had for around £12,000 for a good un! The VXR has the same dash as the bog standard model...I would go 4 the 225 Cup anyday of the week! We all have 2 live in the real world and run them!
what car do you thing people will chose
Corvette ZR1-Porche 911
Crysler Town & Country-VW Routan

Ford GT-40 new- Lambogini Gallardo?
Renault F1 230 r26 is THE one
not as save as u think?
Astra VXR/OPC Still my Fav Car.....I got 1
@fishboy01 You should watch the newest episode of fifth gear, he explains it all......
Vauxhall Astra VXR 2006

i dont think thay realize the Balt has the ring record for fwd cars :)
simply vauxhall astra iz da best... i lov it
Yeah, I have to agree sometimes you look at G.M.'s decisions and think to yourself: Are they intentionally trying to go out of business or are they on crack.
No they don't. As a new car salesman in Australia, I can assure you they do not.
apart from the smart car, should have said most, most have a spare or a space saver, bmws have run flats and the smart has some stupid foam pump thing
the Wxr is faster in a straight line, it have more HP, Renault is faster on track and have less Hp...sow renault its better not rubbish.
For the one who want en even better hothatch than the very best Renault Megane r26, w8 a moment. A very very radical version will be out. New engine ,more power, new brakes (better than already perfect brambo ones), lighter for better performance.
im in australia so all new cars come with a spare wheel.
maybe he had lowened it to the max but it stil wasnt comfy for him
and they cutted the camera noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
If u need help i would just add that Megane is the best hothatch of its category. And to finish with french car, u have to know if ur not ignorant like many here that Peaugeot(which rulz in LeMans series and destroy Audi TDI EVERYTIME with his HDI FAP) and Renault makes the best gasoil engine in the world, the DCI engine is the best of its category again and the next V6 on the Laguna Coupé will be huge

5TH GEAR WAS GOOD BUT NOT GREAT...TOP GEAR IS GOOD BUT ITS MORE LIKE A SOAP THAT A PROPER CAR PROGRAM. STILL THINK ITS GREAT THOU

yep the new cts v has the record for sedans more proof that american cars just dont go in a strait line
Vauxhall is simply the english opel you english have to be something special!!!!!!!!!!!!
Megane is so much better than opel/vauxhall/shit
im not saying that euro cars suck im just sick and tired of people saying american cars can only go in a stait line if thayed understand that the roads here are not like the ones over there reduces the need every car to be top notch handleing cars
Not sticking up for him never even read his comments lol i thought saw your comment about grammar n thought "ohhhh nooooo!
ADAC ratings can say all they want. But I will still laugh everytime I see a Renault on the hard shoulder.
the astra is one of the best hothatch in the market.better only the focus rs(new)and the subaru sti.audi s3 is nice to.all others are shit
I'd go for the megane, who wants a vauxhall .. They are pretty terrible 2, the vxrs were put together so cheap and the engines are jus mapped with no strengthend engine parts. That's the case with the corsa vxr anyhow
The fuck is up with the hat jason:p
No they don't....

megane is better car than astra, but i take the mazda 3 mps!!!
If u don't race and win dont make performing car, make opel or ford car with nice cuir finition (u no thats easy it was not the aim of french car before but it about to change withthe new c5, laguna III and next 408)but u will never be able to offer a real good performing car with the price of a Megane, and thats the same case concerning chassis
