Just Browsing AT as you do and spotted this. Low miles & looks in very good nick from the add.

Not every ones idea of beauty. But could you beat it for Bang for your Buck, in a daily driver. Lucky it's 200 miles away or I might just have cracked. :o
 
Fast car, but yes you are lucky not to buy one! My brother had one for just under 2 years all but one if the windows broke, sometimes it wouldn't unlock, sometimes it wouldn't lock, the dash plastics all started cracking or the surface peeling, headlights are basically impossible to change although luckily Halford only charge £2 for the job that takes over an hour! Worst thing that happened on my brothers was with the engine it just randomly developed what he thought was a misfire, took it to a few garages and found out it was only running on 3 cylinders, other than a new engine they couldn't fix it, car had full service history and reasonably low mileage. Never owned a Renault myself but after my brothers megane don't think I ever would
 
It's a pre-owned Renault for gawd's sake - things will be falling off, not working (if they ever did) and rattling around. :cry:

Walk instead. 8)

Great cars. For about a decade now they've been the best hot hatch out there. The latest ones are an awesome piece of kit.

This I know from a summer PH run out. One of the young regulars loves his fast Renaults and has a New RS. The ///M just about had it in a staight line. but not by much. On the twisties he was edging away. But that was as much youth and local knowledge, as the car being quicker. So yep they are fast puppies. :thumbsup: :driving:

I had the 225RS in this body style prior to getting the Zed. Good chassis with very little torque steer and enough grunt to be fun. Let down by dodgy build quality - windows dropping off runners, buzzing dash from cheap hard plastics and don't even get me started on the electrics! The main fuse box is under the bonnet above the near side wheel arch. Despite the wheel arch splash protection if you hit a large puddle anything from the lights to the power steering could fail until it all dried out :headbang:

Yep they might be performance Bargains but they are also French. I also have a little 1.2 Clio 16v. Fine little car, but for sure, the first proper puddle it hits this winter, will bring the warning lights on, same as it has the past two winters. :lol: I just ignore them and it keeps going. :D
 
I know plenty of people rate them but personally I'd rather have a 130i - N/A straight 6 N52 engine and RWD - lovely!

But as I am on here I may a bit biased! :rofl:
