AUTO Posted 16, December 2010 Report Share Posted 16, December 2010 Hi all, I have been lurking around the RS Megane III section for a while and thought I should say hi now I have ordered one. I have had Peugeots for years but this is my first Renault. I feel Peugeot lost the plot. I had been looking at VW golfs and almost committed to a Golf R but on seeing the RS 250 and the price I couldn't go past it. Unlike the early few mine won't be here till next year and it is driving me crazy already. After much thought I ended up going for a white Cup with leather interior. I liked the white with black accents and the black wheels. I am also worried about the ride being too harsh with the 19's. Coming from the harshness of the Pug I wanted something a bit more subtle over the bumps. I look forward to sharing lots of good info in the future.

R26guy Posted 16, December 2010 Report Share Posted 16, December 2010 Hi Pete, nice choice of car. Remember, the people here are friendly but they really, REALLY like photos. So you better warm up your camera for the week your new car arrives, or someone will raise a ruckus. BTW, I figure Peugeot pretty much gave up after the 205.

DanSA Posted 16, December 2010 Report Share Posted 16, December 2010 Agreed, but don't forget the 306 GTi6 and S16 and the 405 Mi16. After that, enuf said... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffyn Posted 16, December 2010 Report Share Posted 16, December 2010 ^^ Agree. The 306 was still a cracker of a car What Pug are you upgrading from by the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTO Posted 16, December 2010 Author Report Share Posted 16, December 2010 Yes I loved the 205 GTi and the 306 S16 and GTi6 where great. The 306 was a much more mature car but the GTi6 with the heavy clutch could be annoying on the way to work not to mention the terrible turning circle. The 206 GTi 180 is a lot more playful.

Dom Posted 19, December 2010 Report Share Posted 19, December 2010 Hey Pete ... I see you have been around the Megane III section. Mate got my car this week ... what a cracker ! you will love it... the wait will be well worth it. So who did you buy from? I have had quite a few Renaults... an just as many if not more Peugeots. 205GTI, 405Mi16,306S16, 306GTI6 an a 406SV Special. I think they lost the plot at the 306GTI6 after that it went down hill. Anyway's welcome to RS world ...you will love it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domlebo70 Posted 19, December 2010 Report Share Posted 19, December 2010 If you liked your 205, you will enjoy your RS. Same sort of character, albeit not QUITE as intense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted 1, April 2011 Report Share Posted 1, April 2011 Welcome Auto. I understand exactly where you're coming from, I cancelled a Golf R order in lieu of the 250. It's a cracking, CRACKING car. Enjoy it when you get it. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTO Posted 19, April 2011 Author Report Share Posted 19, April 2011 Well the wait is almost over! I should pick up the new White RS250 tomorrow!!! I am so excited it has been a long wait... For those of you interested I originally ordered a Cup back in November with the optional leather seats. Then in January I got a call saying there was a problem with the factory and they could no longer do leather seats in the Cup. Turns out the French workers union was having issues... So Renault said I could get a discount. But I really wanted leather seats. So I asked for Leather RECARO's and I got them! So it should be the only Cup with leather RECARO's around. Now I just can't wait to drive it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teki04 Posted 2, May 2011 Report Share Posted 2, May 2011 Wow that's hot!!! Fantastic car. Looks amazing! Mmmmmm. Curiosity though... I think you're in a Cup Trophee with leather and 19-delete. Why do I think this? You've also got painted door handles and tinted rear glass? Does your car also have climate control and keyless entry/start? Very unique!

Teki04 Posted 2, May 2011 Report Share Posted 2, May 2011 On closer look it does seem you've got climate control? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian-Bstar Posted 2, May 2011 Report Share Posted 2, May 2011 Teki, Pete made some comments here about the cup spec. viewtopic.php?t=19488#p263459 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTO Posted 3, May 2011 Author Report Share Posted 3, May 2011 Hi Teki, thanks for the comments. As far as I know it is a cup. Though I did wonder about some of the things before I ordered it. The link Adrian posted should clear up some of the confusion. Thanks Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
