Heart over head, picked up a 2009 plate mk2 at the weekend, 36k miles on it, fairly well looked after, FMSH and all the gubbins.
Elephant in the room...chain sounds normal, no excessive rattle but considering getting it done as a precaution regardless.
Interior is a world apart from the Megane R26, actually feels like everything is put together correctly and not held together by sticky tape
Nice extra is the bose sub in the boot fitted as standard on all MPS models, does mean i've had to sacrifice a spare wheel though. Sat nav, heated seats, heated screen, parking sensors, all as standard as well.
Handling wise after a few days, much heavier in corners as the R26 was quite nimble but a lot more torque and power delivery out so makes up for it. It's only 26 more HP but feels noticably faster than the R26 both on acceleration and top end motorway cruising.
Looks wise, more understated than the megane, I had so many people wanting to play traffic light grand prix when driving the megane as it stands out, hasn't happened in the MPS yet.
Needs a couple of new back tyres, how important is it to match the brand/tread with the fronts? The fronts are Pirelli Zero Nero GT, don't know much about them.
Obligatory just got it home pic...needs a really good clean.
