Renault Megane 2.0 T 16V Renaultsport 250

In my previous blog I talked about the Golf GTI and its attempt to return to what it once was, and this is the reason it’s struggling. This is in my opinion the much better car. It beats the GTI in all most every category. It looks slicker and much more aggressive with the suttel shaping in the hood, the body kit gives it a much lower appearance, which infect it is true. The Golf stands at 57.8inchs high compared to the 56.4inchs of the Megane. The Renault also manages to produces 250hp from the 2.0 turbo charged engine and going 0-60 in a blistering 5.8 seconds… a whole second faster than the GTI. The interior design on this French car is maybe the best they have produced in a while but living up to the reputation that comes before it, the quality may not be what you expect, with a few too many plastic components. This is the one area the Golf does win for interior design and build quality, the reanault looks like they came to the interior and did it half assed and tried to save weight and money the quickest way which really lets the car down from taking the new hatchback crown. Performance on the track the two cars have not been compared but from the figures we do know, a solid guess would be that the megane would win that battle too with more horsepower and its new racing blood lines. Reanault not only have Formula 1 teams now but the megane series are competing in races every weekend all around the United Kingdom and Europe. Its just a shame about the lack of caring that went into the interior.
