Ah! A fellow local?
Yup, I actually parked in that space Monday night! I have a blue R34 GTR, wave if you see me about.
It's not the service is every 12.5k, it's the same core engine Mini used in the Cooper S/JCW the early 1.6T did burn oil but the later ones use very little. My wife's Mini would use about 1/4 litre every 10k
I've had my car since August 2017 and enjoy it on the whole. It's a 2012 Renault Sport Megane 265 Cup and has covered about 42k miles. However, I'm about to start a new job which will involve 60 miles of commuting each day. I might look to change it for something more fuel efficient in the future, as I average about 30mpg in it.
My mrs only gets 26 in her mk 3 focus st, although its very dependant on which way she goes to work.30MPG is not bad for the segment I suppose.
Very nice. I would have liked a newer RS with the later sat nav, but they were a bit out of budget and the one I bought was immaculate and the previous owner had really cared for it.Another Renaultsport Megane owner here. I've got a 2015 Renaultsport Megane 275 Nav (with Cup suspension pack + LSD). I've owned the car since Feb 2017 when it had ~5700 miles on it (recently ticked over 26000 miles).
Recently I've had the centre silencer removed from the exhaust and replaced with straight pipe. The car sounds a lot better for it, lots of rumbles and coughs/pops firing out of the back. No annoying exhaust drone either which is a massive bonus!

How much did you pay for the mid box chop? It's something I'm interested in doing.
Yep, no AWD means the cupra is a little lighter, on a rolling start the cupra is quicker but for the 0-60 boys the R is the clear winner.I much prefer the design of the Leon over the Golf, I suppose the difference is there is no adaptive AWD vs pure FWD system between the R and Leon.
Intake and recirculation/diverter/blow off valve, easy reversible and most people will buy them off you if you change car.Wouldn't mind doing some subtle little modifications to my ST but I dont really know where to start. Really enjoying it so far about 2 months in now
