Nige82 Posted 30, October 2015 Report Share Posted 30, October 2015 (edited) Hey all. Just thought I should day hi. I have just become a member of this forum as I try to find my next car. I have pretty much always been a Subaru guy, but have just recently sold my liberty and looking for a hot hatch. Specifically I'm trying to find a neat Megane sport cup 225 with 5 doors. So of you know of any in Vic or Tas region link it up!. I have posted in the wanted section on here as well. So hopefully I can find something soon. Cheers all.

chuckovski Posted 1, November 2015 Report Share Posted 1, November 2015 Good luck with the shopping! Great choice; friend had one a while ago and they were kind enough to let me drive it and I've been in love ever since! Mind you theirs was the non cup and I've heard the cup is even better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted 1, November 2015 Report Share Posted 1, November 2015 Good luck with the search, there's been a few really nice ones for sale recently so I'm sure you'll find something soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOOOOK Posted 2, November 2015 Report Share Posted 2, November 2015 Welcome Nige82, You've come to the right place and you're about to get the best Renault of them all, the 225. But then again I am biased I too came from the Subaru marque to a Renault. You'll find the whole driving experience more rewarding with the added bonus of the calibre of people within these forums. Enjoy!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nige82 Posted 2, November 2015 Author Report Share Posted 2, November 2015 Cheers guys. Yeah owned just about every Subaru, Forester XT, bug eye WRX, classic GC8. Liberty H6.... and so on. Decided that i wanted something small and funky with some get up and go, but not your common hatch. Wifes car is the main driver (being diesel is good too). I only drive 3-4 days a week so fun is a must. All my research seems to indicate that they have only a few issues and very reliable. With two small kids these days I don't have time to be fixing broken stuff every second weekend! The hunt continues.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottS Posted 2, November 2015 Report Share Posted 2, November 2015 (edited) Congrats on the change, I am same, came off 3 subarus to find a RS265. Won't be going back to Subaru unless I find a cheap 22B. But then again who wouldn't Enjoy the hunt, from the day of the capture onwards, you'll know you've made the right choice Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited 2, November 2015 by ScottS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOOOOK Posted 3, November 2015 Report Share Posted 3, November 2015 You're not a real Subaru owner unless you've owned a Vortex. 22B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamstrung Posted 26, November 2015 Report Share Posted 26, November 2015 The blue one? That one looked mint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitmanAU Posted 27, November 2015 Report Share Posted 27, November 2015 Yeah which one was it? Cup? F1? Need more info! I'll stop feeding you cars to your other thread lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nige82 Posted 27, November 2015 Author Report Share Posted 27, November 2015 Blood orange phase 2 with one owner. Don't think he has removed the add yet so might get a glimpse there before the as is pulled down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitmanAU Posted 27, November 2015 Report Share Posted 27, November 2015 Oooh was that the one I sent you? In Vic with retired older driver? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nige82 Posted 27, November 2015 Author Report Share Posted 27, November 2015 Yeah mate, that's the one.I saw it when it was first listed but it was well out of my price range then, I hadn't seen it since he dropped the price though. Will need rear disks replaced soonish, but aside from that all pretty sound. Bone stock too which is nice. I don't really want a project car at the moment, just something I can enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitmanAU Posted 27, November 2015 Report Share Posted 27, November 2015 Nice! I was looking for a cup too but out of price at the moment and probably not the greatest for me since I've had back surgery lol. So standard 225 it was for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
