wow. I picked up my trophy last night. beautiful car and it is an absolute hooligan. I came from a 350Z which feels like a sloth in comparison. I'm so happy with the car and can't wait to get to know it better. the seats are just gorgeous too.

there are also measures to reel in understeer: 1. inflate tyre pressures 0.5 to 1 bar higher at the front, 2. fit thicker rear anti-roll bar rear, 3. strut brace at rear, 4. negative camber at front, stiffen rear springs etc etc... it's all part of the fun - getting the ride as you'd like it. But these latest models are more neutral stock than ever.

All road cars understeer on the limit, it's just the way it is. Even supercars understeer. Simply because when driving on the limit, a car set to oversteer on the limit will be very twitchy, unsafe, won't put power down properly if its RWD, etc. Besides, who cares if the Megane RS understeers at the very limit, if even while understeering you're still pulling 1.3G in a corner and going trough it faster than pretty much any car can, short of a few supercars.

1. every car has limits, 2. torque steer is next to negligible if you youtube carbuyer.uk and megane 265 you'll see for yourself (2nd gear - full boost - steering held by a thumb and next to no steering wheel movement, 3. RWD cars can also understeer at the limit, such as my previous BMW 135. It's a safety measure and you have to be really, really pushing it over 9/10's on these cars to induce it (by which point I'm grateful for it)

@qlimaxseeunextyear. Golf R and Focus ST. are for suits who like to give the impression they know what there doing. MEGANE 265 is for people who definatley know what the fuck there doing. and in many aspects defo the better car. people all say RENAULT is shit. but my 200CUP has been the best car i,ve owned. and i,ve owned a few hothatches. our everyday car is octavia vrs. and out the two. i would take 200cup all day.

I drove a Golf R, an Audi S3 a Focus RS and a BMW 130i before I decided on the 250hp version of the Megane RS. It is definitly the most fun to drive car in its segment and sacks a lot of other cars 2-3 times its price on the track. If you want to impress others with an overpayed toy, buy something different. If you want the real thing and fun for yourself the Megane RS is the only choice. Every time I drive, it conjures a wide smile on my face :)

Just pulls out of the corners, beautiful handling, lovely accurate steering, great brakes.. difficult to fault anything and I'm normally a rear wheel drive man all the way. Loved it and seriously considering it as our next road car it was that much fun! Would be a weapon down the country lanes! :)

But the thing is, it doesn't understeer at the limit any more than any RWD road car, and there is no torque steer whatsoever on the Megane because of its very advanced front suspension and diff. If the FWD is such a set back, then how do you explain the fact that Megane RS is faster around a track than BMW 1M, which has 100hp more, Nissan 370Z, which has 100hp more, Porsche Boxter, etc....its only 2 seconds per lap slower than E92 M3 around Nurburgring....8:07...that's a serious time.
