    Megane R26 230 f1

    I've got a R26, never owned a trophy but come from a Ph2 172 to the megane. Got to say it is a very good car, the low down torque compared to the 1*2's is great, but have to say if you use the torque alot dont expect the mpg to be anywhere near a trophy. Ive had quite a few nice cars and the...

    Have you ever regretted it or would you ever regret it??

    Completely understand i loved the revs in the 172, but just wanted a change. dropping 2 gears to get a bit power when your not in the mood to rag it does get tiresome. think by lazy power he means its just that it all comes from low down the rev range and its like you dont have to try very...

    Have you ever regretted it or would you ever regret it??

    Dont think i could spend £7k on a 10 year old car, agreed its a great car but its a lot for a car that old. Much rather have something thats only 2 year old. I came close to buying a 197 cup in white. think they look awesome, but just preferred the torque of the megane, but thats just me being...

    Best thing to do mate is go and have a drive of one, but i think you'll be inpressed, i took all of the medium size hot hatches out, and the R26 beat them as an all rounder hands down.

    if you are meaning in stiffness, then yeah its loads stiffer no body roll in the corners at all, but it damps the big bumps and potholes brilliantly no spine shaking moments like the 172, was sure every time i hit a big bump in the clio bits fell of it ha. and the grip out of the corners with...

    Have you ever regretted it or would you ever regret it??

    I've just gone from a 172 to a 230 R26 and its a great car, never driven a trophy but it is way ahead of the 172. and its quite refined too.

    197 Cup or 230 R26

    Thinking of upgrading from my 172 to a 197 cup or megane 230. wondering if anyone can help me decide. i like the idea of the stripped out 197 but think the 230 is a bit better to live with everyday. i've drove the 230 and it was very quick, but havent had a go of a 197 yet. im also thinking...
