twofifty Posted 13, August 2011 Report Share Posted 13, August 2011 Hi everyone! My name is Debbie I picked up my new 2011 Renault Megane Cup Trophee RS today.... exciting times. His name is Pierre hehehe I have driven STI's for about 5 years now so it's a change for me... Loved the styling and the drive of the renault. By the way- i cant figure out how to drive with the daytime xenon lights on at night with the normal headlights on aswell??? Are they only able to be on seperately???? so many things to figure out Here are some pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRIS-172 Posted 13, August 2011 Report Share Posted 13, August 2011 Welcome to both RS ownership and the Forum! Where abouts are you? State Etc? I dont believe you can have both LED running lights on and Xenons at the sametime with the factory setup. Enjoy the drives and get some more pics up!

bozz Posted 13, August 2011 Report Share Posted 13, August 2011 Hey Debbie! Welcome! Re the DRLs, nope, I asked the service manager where I bought & service mine, and unfortunately it's one or the other. A few niggles, but a fantastic experience! Hope you enjoy yours as much as I am mine! Cheers, bozz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Posted 13, August 2011 Report Share Posted 13, August 2011 Welcome aboard to both of you. Your previous rides a sweet too, especially the first subbie. All the best with your new ride, how are you finding the black - black - now white? All the best, and let us know of any pending plans of mods,bling, or stock.

LigerZero Posted 13, August 2011 Report Share Posted 13, August 2011 Welcome aboard, the 250 is certainly a great car to sit into. Hope it's a great drive from the usual Sub's. Unfortunately you're thinking the same as me, shame that it doesn't do both sets of lights at night. Oh well... enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twofifty Posted 14, August 2011 Author Report Share Posted 14, August 2011 Black=very hard to keep clean plus i think white looks great on this car Waiting to run it in a bit and then I can really see what he's made of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted 14, August 2011 Report Share Posted 14, August 2011 G'day Debbie, I noticed that Pierre came from Essendon Renault. How were they to deal with? One of my jobs is out in Ascot Vale at the moment and Essendon Renault are only just up the road. You from round that area? Welcome and look forward to seeing you on a cruise. I'm sure Pierre will get along with my Chanel -Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenG Posted 15, August 2011 Report Share Posted 15, August 2011 Lol @ griffyn... Btw Debbie, looks like ur 2nd STI was shot in a studio. Where did you have that done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twofifty Posted 16, August 2011 Author Report Share Posted 16, August 2011 Essendon Renault were great to deal with, I already knew I was buying the car before I went in there so they didnt really do the hard sell (they didn't need to) It really sells itself. I am from Essendon.. where is everyone else located? The second photo was just edited in photoshop I think, I got them from the 1st owner of the car... sorry I cant be more helpful! I am very excited to own Pierre.. makes a good change it was hard for me to leave th subaru brand but due to styling, i had to... there new cars are eyesores....Plus they seem to have cut costs and dont seem as sturdy as they used to... saving money me thinks but still charging 70,000 for a newie....

The engines in the new Suburu's are still great engines and easy to extract more performance with mods and all, however I was bitterly dissappointed as well in the shoddy cheap build quality they've attracted to shave the building cost such as the cheap plastic mouldings and fixtures. Subaru price tag?... no thanks... the RS250 will do just fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twofifty Posted 17, August 2011 Author Report Share Posted 17, August 2011 They are super quick and great engines don't get me wrong... But.... I am very particular with my cars and treat them like gold... but that interior- though it looks nice, is not durable in any shape or form... shocking. My first STI was great... no complaints but this one.... it frustrated me alot. Too refined and too plastic fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dish Posted 18, August 2011 Report Share Posted 18, August 2011 Or did Sydney/Hawaii-Deb mean "Pierre"? BTW, after 3 years I have finally decided on the perfect name for my car: Pepé Le Pew. Why? Cos it's French, it stinks (the exhaust that is), and it had 2 white stripes when new! You could even say it is looking for a new cat... converter LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twofifty Posted 18, August 2011 Author Report Share Posted 18, August 2011 heheh come on deb is a pretty good name... Unsure if she meant Deb or Pierre... lol.... Hahaha thats very clever pepe le pew, i like it. What do you mean the exhaust stinks?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dish Posted 18, August 2011 Report Share Posted 18, August 2011 Oh don't get me wrong, "Deb" is a great name, but not for a French car, surely! And yes Debbie, I was unsure which name Deb was referring to, too (now this is getting confusing!!) As for the exhaust on mine, yeah, it gets rather woofy, and is very sensitive to which petrol brand I fill up with. Shell makes it particularly bad. I suspect the cat converter to be at fault... will get it replaced eventually, but have had it checked by 3 workshops, all of whom have given it the green light.

Deb Posted 18, August 2011 Report Share Posted 18, August 2011 Ack, a girl moves to a different time zone and look what happens I meant Deb/Debbie, but I saw your Pepe on FB Dish, very cool, I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
