    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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?

  • @Frol3R
