I like the way the Civic looks better ... but from the previous generation. Between these two models, I stick with the Megane RS, the Civic looks too big for a hothatch
Honestly, this car is the absolute best king of all hot hatches. Its got one of the most beautiful rears I have ever seen on any car, it can corner like no other hot hatch, it sounds amazing, its the fastest FWD on the Nürburgring, its a great family car. This car literally ticks all boxes
I absolutely love my Meg 300 Trophy - I went for the manual model as I just couldn't transition to flappy paddles just yet - Long Live the Manual!! The handling, the sound in Sport/Race mode and the acceleration in any gear is excellent. Nothing to regret about my purchase 👌🏼
Lovely review! I agree with what you have shared. I’ve owned the car for a year and it’s an absolute blast. Great daily driver that never fails to put a smile on my face everytime I drive it!
4:40 it depends on the view angles, really. Tbh, the front look it could be a sleeper. But the REAR view is something else. Idk for me when first time i discovered this car without knowing it stats, i knew this is a very good hot hatch or very fast car. Cuz i can tell by its fancy looking rear light and also its magnificent rims. To me the Rear design of the Megane is an absolute beast. Definitely much better looking than other hot hatch like civic typer R and golf gti, Much better.
We looked at a number of cars before getting into the 300 Trophy, and yes those vents are real, they actually work. Looked for an S1 Audi, and an RS3. No Manual. Too small in the cockpit area to move legs. Test drove the last manual in a used version, but could not come to it. Looked at the 308GTi. Unfortunately, no dealer in Adelaide would get one in, unless we were going to buy it. Booked a flight to Sydney, but it was sold the day before we left. Still trying to use flights thanks to the virus. A motor sport friend has one, and she loves it. Rarer than the trophy. Tried to get a Civic. 4 month wait, and you could not test drive one as all were sold. (who buys without a test drive???) Then they did an upgrade but the older models still on the water were coming in and you could not be guaranteed what model version would be received. They fixed the dash controls with knobs. Something they are doing in the upgrade to the Megane. Absolutely loathed the Hyundai. Smelt funny, and the seating position was not good. Seats were too small. We ordered our manual Trophy in June 2019. We watched it leave the factory via the link sent to us at the end of September, and tracked it on the ship. It arrived at the dealer in January 2020. We started looking for a new car in January 2019. Other than the cup holders being too small, and a slow media screen, we love it. Not that many in the country, and not many in Adelaide. A shame we are restricted to 4 colours in Australia with a few options offered in other countries. Heads up display would have been good. We would have loved it in Red which other countries get. Always being asked about it when getting fuel, or stopping on a drive into the country. It just attracts looks and interest. The 4 control does take some getting used to, but when it hooks up, it has a firmly planted feel. A shame the 2020 upgrade due later is only available in the auto. Oh well, we will be keeping ours for a few years yet.
I love the Megane RS Trophy, I actually work for Renault as a technician and I know these cars well. You raised some really fair points and for one thing completely agree about the climate control I think they should have just stuck to buttons amd dials would have been fine. There was one point you made about the dampeners not being adjustable and thats not strictly true. The Megane RS has electronic controlled dampeners meaning it can be adjusted for a smoother ride. This is only done through selecting what driving mode you would like ie. Race mode is firm and Comfort is softer. Its difficult to feel these changes unless driving for a long time like owning the car a few weeks. So no they cannot be adjusted manually like some other manufacturers offer but its not strictly true to say they cant be adjusted at all. Very fair review but if your in the market for a toy hatch. You would be foolish not to at least test drive an RS Trophy
Having just a couple of weeks back picked up a one owner 24K miles RS 280 Cup manual/stick, I thought the comfort mode had nothing to do with actually changing the suspension though it always felt a tad more easier on the rougher roads here in the UK but I put that down to it playing tricks on my mind or the fact I was not blasting down the roads! I absolutely love the car and it just puts a huge smile on my face and just such a fantastic driving experience down twisty roads. Third Renault I have owned with a Renault 5 GT Turbo all the way back in the 80's, a RS 250 a couple of years back which was a joy and then traded it in for the 280 Cup...yes an extended mid life crisis that Renault is making enjoyable...oh and I just cannot stand driving the family car!
I'm only running an RS280 but with nearly all the options including Cup Chassis and 2 piece Brembos. I came from a troubled and anxiety inducing relationship with a mk3 Focus RS and test drove the i30N, Civic Type R and the Megane all in the same morning. The deposit went on the Megane the following day. Its a great alrounder, quality of fit and finish both in and out are way higher than the Focus which was a huge surprise having only ever heard opinion of Renault and driven dodgey rentals. Its a great car, but Sshhhh don't tell everyone or they'll become less exclusive. P.s I hope you took it on some good country roads, thats where they really come alive.
@@anthonykelmann3640 very rarely experience axle tramp. Its way better in that respect compared to golf, cupra or i30N. I've been driving 4WD Subaru and RS Focus during the last 20 years, so if anyone is going to want to experience a grippy launch, without axle tramp, I think its going to be me. Its not really been an issue despite dropping back to a FWD car.
@@Scott555ish just read you had a Focus RS Mk3 before the Megane. I'm considering both of these so I'd love to hear any other comparisons you have on them. The Megane certainly does look good as I recently saw a manual yellow one at my local dealer. Sold so couldn't test drive it sadly.
Best review of the Megane RS as you can see you totally enjoyed the drive and I am a bit biased as I have the 280 Cup...Love the car as it just looks so good and the performance is just stellar!
We can feel you're genuine in your talks compare to some other guys on youtube... And as a French, always nice to see a good review of a French car as far as in Australia. But to test a hot hatch, I hope you did more than those accelerate, brake, U turn, accelerate, brake, U turn.... that we see in the video. Because that's clearly not the kind of driving where you would enjoy a megane RS or civic type R.
I'm currently looking at a secondhand Megane RS Tropy in Lava Orange. I'm driving a Renault Koleos Intens but before that I had the Megane RS RedBull RB8... The Koleos is a great car but I just miss having the RS and at least this has 4 doors now compared to the RB8. I'm really tossing up whether to replace the Koleos as I've only had it 1year.
I'm currently looking to buy one is well I seem a 2018 model but I believe renualt are getting rid of the rs next year it will be the last model they produce so will that be a problem with parts in the future
I'm in the NO PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA CAMP... But I like the design of the Civic! It's just hard to see myself driving to clients in it, its a bit too outlandish for that ☹️
One setting only in the trophy, rock hard, that becomes an issue out of town or in South Australia and I think it's a huge oversight by Renault who want to make a more Golf like hot hatch. Other reviewers have found the sport model with softer dampers and springs to be more enjoyable on road. Should be adjustable. The 4-wheel steering does the job of making the car more nimble around the streets, but in the hills the system can cause too much turn in or make the rear of the car nervous. This effect can unsettle people and having an option to disable it would be very useful.
Thanks Tim! But to this I say, to each their own. Absolutely would be all for removing the 4 wheel steering for adaptive dampers, but as it stands I'm totally happy with the setup. For me 0 learning curve (which is impressive, I can be as thick as a plank!) And the suspensions while definitely stiff was alright in every day use! But as I said, to each their own 🙂
Own a Ford Focus ST Mk4 and love it. Really love the look of this too, maybe more than the ST. I'd be worried about buying a Renault as I've heard they aren't terribly reliable and parts are expensive/hard to get.
Yeah, as stated a couple of times there is a facelift model now available. In the UK, the face lift has tweaked front and rear Led lights, new interior screen/dash combo. The Sport has been dropped and all cars come with 300hp. The manual option for the Trophy has now been dropped, and some different wheel choices and the side skirt is now a different design and body coloured. I prefer the pre facelift :D Ps the dash Screen shown in this video, can be modified. So you complain about the Aircon controls. If you hold your finger on the screen it gives you the option to add/remove apps and move them around into different pages and to change the layout.
Can't speak for other markets mate, here in Australia this is still all that's available! Must say the changes from what I've seen are pretty minimal, but maybe now is the time to get the manual while you can new 😁
Yeah, they've only opened the order books so far. No deliveries I can tell of as yet. I got my Manual Trophy last year, and I wont be trading for the facelift one one bit :D
I truly wish they made an AWD SUV version of this with two tone/stitched LEATHER seats, and I would have been all over it. I would buy one as it is and just have aftermarket leather done, but I have a back issue and it's far too low for me. In a low hatch (if I could drive one comfrotably at my age now), I can handle front wheel drive though, I got very used to that with a couple GTI over the years.
Already looking at options for after my Leon Cupra and was prob going for a Golf TCR or Clubsport but I'm swaying towards one of these now. Yes it's expensive for a French car that will likely have many problems down the line but I think it's the best looking hot hatch just now and Renault have always done the very best handling hatches. Starting to think it'll be one of these next.
Thank you! The rear passenger experience is spoken about towards the end of the interior section of the review - but the experience is great. It's comfortable, enough legroom and headroom for me! For a 6 year old, you'll have 0 issues. It's a bit stiff, but no worse than what you experience so totally fine 🙂
im on the market for a new car. iv narrowed it down to 2 options, this or the Peugeot RCZ R, both great looking and fun to drive cars. the RCZ R is quite abit cheaper though
I have the Gun Metal paint version and it looks great...The Yellow and Orange wer just a tad to loud for me but boy it is one hell of a car that I will not let go as sadly these are the last RS cars from Renault.
The Megane certainly turns heads. I’ve owned a 2018 rs280 and my mates owns i30n’s The i30ns look simple compared to the Megane with the wide fenders and huge diffuser I’ve since moved on to a stage 2 golf r 7.5 but I’m back here as I’m thinking about switching back because my god it’s one of the best cars I’ve ever owned
Bring back the coupe model... four door is ugly ... PS: I have the older coupe model, manual of course 😉 About the wheel spin, when I changed from the factory continental tyres to Michelin sport, no more issues with traction.
@@CarSauce I think that's right, but you would have sounded way classier by responding to this by starting with an admission you screwed up. These details do have an impact on how people perceive your knowledge of cars and therefore how valuable your opinion is on them. I enjoyed the video though so keep it up! Just perhaps google car pronunciations in future.
@@muteroberto thanks Paul, of course will do. The issue lay originally with how Anthony commented on another person's comment suggesting I made no reference to the cars flaws, which I most certainly did - and dismissing someone else's ownership experiences! I think Anthony is just a bit of a pessimist on this video 😉
@@earth2baz why do people get so butt hurt about an opinion? And yes, I looked at it but no way I was going to spend that much without leather, so I did buy a Cupra that is faster and with lovely blue leather. That comment was made when I was still looking, but have had my car 3 months now. Necro a comment to start a fight. What a wanker.
@@earth2baz And by the way, I don't slip at all in the leather, cause the seats are properly designed to hold you in. It's called being cheap, that's the actual reason Renault sold their performance flagship without leather. The REAL reason. I always had an affinity for fast FWD cars but I couldn't get past that, then again, it's really nice being able to take off even in the wet without slipping in the Cupra. I already took it to stage 1+ (chip and gearbox) and will do stage 2 next year. Already a low 4 second 0-100. Out of the box, so to speak, I got 4.78. The Renault would be able to do the same if it was AWD and simply had more grip in a straight line. But it doesn't.
So which is the better looking hot hatch?! VOTE in the COMMENTS on this post! 💛
VOTE: Megane RS
VOTE: Civic Type R
Love the Megane R.S. Trophy, great looking hatch!
Megane RS, love the front of the Civic, but the rear is not my cup of tea. The Megane looks classy.

How is the ride quality compared to say a M2? Is it as stiff or stiffer?
Probably a teeny bit stiffer on the Renault if you have the M2 with adaptive dampers
♥️ my trophy
I'm jealous of your trophy 😁
Do you prefer this over the VW GTI TCR?
Ooh tough one, they're almost the same in terms of enjoyment but there is something very special about the Megane!
How is the reliability compared to the type R?
I’m a new subscriber love your videos so far. I like the Megane RS but I would definitely change the wheels.
Geez it looks good!
It looks very elegant 💃
im on the market for a new car. iv narrowed it down to 2 options, this or the Peugeot RCZ R, both great looking and fun to drive cars. the RCZ R is quite abit cheaper though
Megain?
is there a 2-door?
Only 4 door, which makes sense for the average buyer but its sad nonetheless!
Megain RS!!!!
Like the exhaust, it's a point of difference (the design). Yellow is too loud, I would fork out $4-5k for matt black wrap
I have the Gun Metal paint version and it looks great...The Yellow and Orange wer just a tad to loud for me but boy it is one hell of a car that I will not let go as sadly these are the last RS cars from Renault.
this or the i30n for a daily sporty car.. man i have been on youtube for 10 hours today. both looks great, but megane's interior is superior looking.
The Megane certainly turns heads. I’ve owned a 2018 rs280 and my mates owns i30n’s
The i30ns look simple compared to the Megane with the wide fenders and huge diffuser
I’ve since moved on to a stage 2 golf r 7.5 but I’m back here as I’m thinking about switching back because my god it’s one of the best cars I’ve ever owned
went to look at one of these today, damn they are nice but $65k!! That's a lot of money for a hatchback

@@CarSauce yeah am not slating the new mk4 but when I test drove one it just felt to grown up and not as raw as the mk3
The renault mcgain
megaine?
Let's put it this way... the Trophy R had its rear wheel steering deleted, so....
Also had it's rear seats deleted tho haha
I want to make love to the seats . Stunning car
What fake vents? O_o
Yeah I could be wrong about this 😔
Lost you at "Megayne"...
Honestly if that makes the rest of the video redundant, maybe the problem doesn't lie in how I pronounce the name of the car 😉
@@CarSauce I think that's right, but you would have sounded way classier by responding to this by starting with an admission you screwed up. These details do have an impact on how people perceive your knowledge of cars and therefore how valuable your opinion is on them. I enjoyed the video though so keep it up! Just perhaps google car pronunciations in future.
@@muteroberto thanks Paul, of course will do. The issue lay originally with how Anthony commented on another person's comment suggesting I made no reference to the cars flaws, which I most certainly did - and dismissing someone else's ownership experiences! I think Anthony is just a bit of a pessimist on this video 😉
Renault megain ?
Can someone explain to me why people like shitty looking velour over leather?
It's alcantara not velour. It's a performance car, they put this stuff in supercars too because it has more grip than leather.
@@earth2baz it's fake suede with a fancy name.
@@teddym2808 buy a luxury car with leather then, this car is not for you.
@@earth2baz why do people get so butt hurt about an opinion? And yes, I looked at it but no way I was going to spend that much without leather, so I did buy a Cupra that is faster and with lovely blue leather. That comment was made when I was still looking, but have had my car 3 months now. Necro a comment to start a fight. What a wanker.
@@earth2baz And by the way, I don't slip at all in the leather, cause the seats are properly designed to hold you in. It's called being cheap, that's the actual reason Renault sold their performance flagship without leather. The REAL reason. I always had an affinity for fast FWD cars but I couldn't get past that, then again, it's really nice being able to take off even in the wet without slipping in the Cupra. I already took it to stage 1+ (chip and gearbox) and will do stage 2 next year. Already a low 4 second 0-100. Out of the box, so to speak, I got 4.78. The Renault would be able to do the same if it was AWD and simply had more grip in a straight line. But it doesn't.
Megane = (MEE)-(GANN)
Btw bro it’s not called a Renault Megain. It’s hurting my poor Renault sports fanatic ears everytime you say megain. It’s spoke like me-gan.
I know, I know. It will be fixed next time - promise 🙂
If you test drive the alpine a110 I subscribe to your channel bro
It’s pronounced (Ma-Garne) dude.
Renault Megay’n
Magain
👍👍🔥🔥
I disliked the video just because of the way you pronounce Megane, besides that really good review
woohoo
🏎️🏎️
Me-Gain?
Wym forgotten?!?! Are you tripping man?
You might remember it, but sales suggest a lot of people don't! But it's an awesome car, let's bring it back to people's minds when buying 🙂
"Megain" 🤦♂️
Renault “MiGaYn” why tf is he saying it like that, he’s a motoring journalist, surely someone has taught him how to say it properly 🤦🏼♂️
You win some, you lose some
