QUOTE(braindeath @ Jan 13 2019, 11:48 AM) The Megane RS is also another excellent FWD performance car with even more power but just not as hardcore as the FD2R so easier to live with as a daily car. Actually the Golf GTI is also another good one, just unfortunately in Malaysia the manual version is not available. |

Not as hardcore, you mean Megane is easier to be use as daily car?For me Megane seem like an "easier" choice. Not be a hot car, for me is a huge relieve already, but need to be very patient in case you need any spare parts i guess. |

Because the suspension is not as stiff as the FD2R hence more comfortable for daily drive.For me Megane seem like an "easier" choice.

QUOTE(6UE5T @ Jan 13 2019, 01:46 PM) Agree and got easy turbo power, BUT I know quite a few people who crashed their Megane when driving close or at the limit. Almost all was lift off over steer. Anyway maybe driver problem.... |

QUOTE(braindeath @ Jan 13 2019, 11:48 AM) Tested the Renault Megane 250 twice before I decided on the FD2R facelift. As some say, it is another great FWD rocket. But one main reason I went back to FD2R was the heavier clutch on the Megane. If I already hated driving manual on weekdays to and from work, I would have hated driving the Megane even more.The other reason, though not the primary reason is the crappy rear seat leg room. I am not very tall. When I configure the front seat to my ideal driving position and then I went to the back, the front of my feet touches the front seat and the back touches the rear. And my shoe size is only UK 8 Basically, your leg is f****d if you sit behind for long drive FD2R is an ideal sub-RM200k 5-door NA rocket with excellent handling characteristics in stock form that's unmatched by any other in the same category, in my humble and honest opinion. Their track times at Sepang are testament to it. |

Yes you're right, the rear space is more limited. Clutch I suppose is typical of European cars, rarely as light as Japanese cars.The other reason, though not the primary reason is the crappy rear seat leg room. I am not very tall.

But one main reason I went back to FD2R was the heavier clutch on the Megane. If I already hated driving manual on weekdays to and from work, I would have hated driving the Megane even more. Not that i'm considering any of it, just wanna hear an opinion from a pro.The other reason, though not the primary reason is the crappy rear seat leg room. I am not very tall.

QUOTE(tonitoni @ Jan 15 2019, 05:09 PM) Yeah people open with crazy prices, but I noticed not many can sell too, hanging for months. I think I might as well go for A45 instead if crazy prices like that!This post has been edited by 6UE5T: Jan 15 2019, 11:45 PM |
