Hi all,
been a long time lurker and I don't actually own a renault. Over the long weekend, I went up to Melbourne and rented the Hertz Megane 265. It was black on black. Absolutely stunning car.
This was my first time with a real performance car so I was blown away by the acceleration and power. ( I drive a Mitsubishi 380 which has decent power but nothing like this). For me it was put foot down an dfeel the surge of power. I loved every minute of it. Spent a lot of time driving it on Sunday and went pretty freakin fast at times. To a point where i was a little scared to drive... what with the adrenaline and all.
When i picked it up I was aware of what others on here had mentioned about it, that the car was very firm, built quality was average, the stereo would suck but the drive would be amazing. And yes, all true. That stereo is awful... hehe
Ride wise I found it on par with my Dad's 118d and although I could feel every grain of sand on the road, I was expecting worst.
I was always keen on the liquid yellow, but after seeing it in black... well now I'm not sure. I reckon black with the Trophy-R wheels woul dbe amazing...
In any case, I had a blast and now more than ever want one. I hope to pick one up next year once my job is a little more secure and I 'm permanent. but while I'm here is there any difference between pre and post facelift megane models BESIDES the front end? And would I get the same feelings and drive out of a 250?
thanks
