Almost ready to buy...

[reesly]

Hey all.

 

So I've been leasing my '05 Honda Integra Type S and the lease finishes in June. I had almost given up on finding another reasonably priced sports car, when I came across the Megane RS250 Cup. Looks like a great car. Can any owners of this variant comment on the car? I think I like this model rather than the Trophee, but still haven't made up my mind...Oh also, how long is the wait for a yellow or red?

 

Thanks in advance...Sly

welcome reesly . pop up your location on sig . are you in sydney ?

 

the RSM 250 is brand new , went and saw one at a dealer today . test drives just started . they are winning all the hot hatch comparos around including latest motor mag against the mighty focus rs so i suspect you'd be buying the worlds best hot hatch .

 

theres not a huge difference between the 2 specs but the experts here will be able to advise with precision . i'm looking again tomorrow at a different colour .

In Melbourne.

 

Yeah I've been reading tonnes about this this. I love the look of it. The 18's look fine. I'm still a few months away from buying, so plenty of time to check it out. I'll probably book a test drive in a couple of weeks.

You may be a few months, but i've heard they're taking orders now for next year.

Not sure what the long term plan is for Renault OZ on how many they will bring in etc.

So yellow or red? whatever the dealer tells you on that one.

If you're coming from a type S and thinking of going to an RS, there is little to think about... do it man!

Heheh... but yes, think it would be a great step up.

Good luck, enjoy if you get one, my sincerist condolences if you don't.

Cheers,

WOLF

Hehehe I was certain it was yellow. Then slowly shifted to red. But now I'm thinking yellow again. The more I see of this car (youtube) the more I want it!

 

By the way, does anyone know if I could get an electric sunroof installed as an extra?

[griffyn]

There is no substitute for cubic dollars

 

I don't think it's available as a factory option though.

[reesly]

I've booked a test drive for Saturday week. Geelong in Vic. I'll ask the guy about the sunroof option then.

[kds83]

Factory sunroof is not available in Oz, but you could get an aftermarket one done. If you're brave.

[reesly]

No, not that brave...

[reesly]

OK, paid a deposit today. Black Cup, two tone leather seats and extra tint. The extra's on the Trophee didn't interest me apart from the recaro's, and the wife didn't like them anyways...

[Adrian-Bstar]

Congrats! When do you get it?

[reesly]

It all depends on the leather. Maybe a couple of weeks. You know, I was certain that I was getting a yellow cup, but I loved the black as soon as I saw it in the flesh...

[Wolf]

Very nice.

Agree on the decision to go the cup.

Very very cool in black Mr Bruce "reesly" wayne.

Pics asap.

Cheers,

WOLF

[reesly]

Of course, will do
