Just recieved an email from Renault reminding me I have the World Series to attend next weekend. Included in the email was this offer for the Renault Megane World Series Edition.

£17000 OTR - 0% APR, I'd have to finance it so works out approx £200 including trade in for the ST220.

I love the look of this thing and I assume it's gonna be pretty quick. Dunno what the difference in performance is compared with the Megane Sport.

If I had a spare few hundrew knocking about per month I'd probably consider this :eek:

But I don't

What engine is it?

peterattheboro · 26 Jun 2009 at 17:49

Apparently it's a 1.6! Haha. Don't think it's got a turbo strapped to it either.

Hmmmm I think I changed my mind.

You would swap a 3.0 V6 for a 4 pot 1.6 based Dynamique?!? :confused:

Renault have done what Citroen attempted with the Loeb edition of the C4 and failed on both accounts.

No but if it was a 2.0T then probably.

Am I alone in thinking thats a hideous looking car?

// Edit - there's NO WAY I'd trade in a Ford for a froggie motor :eek:

no

Looks rather nice, very similar to the Astra Sport Hatch.

No, you aren't.

I honestly thought the original poster was being sarcastic, it's dreadful!

I've had the displeasure of having a sit in one and I must say I am hideously underwhelmed and Renault still need to learn how to build a decent interior. The roofline also causes you to bang yourself on the head everytime you get in or out.

You HAVE to get it in that yellow colour. It's so nice. :cool:

spaz · 26 Jun 2009 at 18:17

That your car mate?

That one looks a bit all show and no go but can't wait to try out the new Meganesport 250, easily the best hot hatch manufacturer at the moment.

Felix Da Housecat · 26 Jun 2009 at 18:28

Buy it.

Get it in some asbo color from carshaft for ultimate win.

You might, I wouldn't

Puzzled · 26 Jun 2009 at 18:36

Looks alright in grey:

The megane has always had a shocking interior in the past, hopefully it's been improved in the new one.

peterattheboro · 26 Jun 2009 at 18:45

^ The curves on that are fantastic! Grey with gunmetal alloys = win

Rybo89 · 26 Jun 2009 at 18:50
