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.
