the new renault megane 225 F1 team limited edition 3 door. at only 41990.
this one has some serious looks and power. there are absolutely no possible options as there is already everything on it. it looks like a real good car and its at a decent price to compete with the XR5. looks really good. wouldnt mind one. this thing looks like its designed for a rally yet it is speced for on road.

renault sport clio 182 has been replaced. or will be very shortly by the 197 cup

mitch_lx · 21-09-2006, 02:37 PM

Saw one of these on the road the other day (megane sport f1).

It looked fantastic.

I liked the fact the little sticker things werent stripes.. and they didnt go over the whole car.

Only thing i would change. The wheels in the flesh were very shiny. Id prefer to have them matte black.

But other than that. it looked fabulous

I agree, I thought it was a toy at first glance...

MISTA FIESTA · 21-09-2006, 05:09 PM

I think id rather a 225 Cup 4 Door but in the blue colour.

robjh80 · 21-09-2006, 05:10 PM

I like that a lot......2.0Litre Turbo, 165kw, 6 speed manual, thats gotta move along very nicely.

Danny · 21-09-2006, 06:09 PM

Sorry Boys,

But the truth aint always pretty. hahahahah

mitch_lx · 21-09-2006, 07:07 PM

I think it would be quite the potent little machine.

To be honest. On first visual impressions of the exterior when i saw the F1 on the road, i think i would have one over the XR.

Swaytan · 21-09-2006, 08:17 PM

Here is the only Renault I like, sorry.

Ives · 21-09-2006, 09:20 PM

^^^ yeah but is it gonna pass rego?

zing · 21-09-2006, 11:53 PM

I really like the look of the 3dr variant, much like the uk ones. and i loveee those wheels. Disappointed Renault didnt tweak the engine a tad to match the exterior aggressive styles. Nonetheless always a big fan of the 'big butts'

Teki04 · 22-09-2006, 02:06 AM

Well photn,

Glad you've now come to love the Renaults! haha

Yes, the F1 is a VERY nice machine. I've been lucky enough to have a nice long conversation with an owner of one (his car was infront of mine on the way down south)

I can assure you, they look MUCH hotter in person. I freaked when I saw it fly past me in the opposite dirrection, so I did a U-turn and gave chase.

I've also had the pleasure to drive a 225 Cup 5 door (identical, just 2 more doors!... and a different rear window profile) through the royal national park up near hornsby (Thanks Gavin from Waitara - Northshore Renault!)

I can only say one thing.... THEY FLY. What a joy to drive. Overtaking power was unbelievable. I was shocked. Gavin was awesome though, and was always edging me to push the car further, and boy did it pull on whilst overtaking on the other side of the road! Gearbox and brakes are sweet too (gearbox reminded me of the Fiesta...)

Open sweeping bends it would munch anything... but in the tight corner where my Clio would just shine, the Megane understeered. That wasn't impressing me, as I love the chuckability (hehe) of the Clio, and the ability to just throw it at corners like a go kart.

Would I buy one? Hell yea, especially the new Phase 2 Megane!

CLIO:
Yea, the 182 has been deleted from the range (production finished last year.... I got one of the last ones :P). I've been told by dealers not to expect the 197 within the next year, as UK's demand has been quite high. Like the Pug 206 and 207, a base model Clio X65 (model of the current clio) will be sold alongside the new Clio3. This is the 1.4L Clio Campus, on Renault's website.

So yea, don't expect the new Clio so soon. We were supposed to have seen the new Clio sometime this year... but as we approach the end of the year the future isn't looking promising

photn · 22-09-2006, 09:21 AM

now dont take this the wrong way Teki. lol but renault are okay i just wouldnt buy one unless it was the one posted by Sway. hehehehehe....now that would pull when onvertaking lol .... yer as i said renault are okay just not my piece of pie. when i get a full time job in an office i will buy a european vehicle. And yes Renault will be kept in mind alongside VW Pug and many others. but for now

GO THE FEZ!!! lol

ps. whats with the weird numbering dont they know how to round off lol....i do admit its unique. 182 and 197....couldnt they push for 180 and 200 lol...but awe well there awesum cars.

MISTA FIESTA · 22-09-2006, 10:28 AM

The number corresponds to the power output in BHP.

Thats not true. Firstly its was ment to be the PS(Metric Horsepower) output and the engines on the clio didn't meet the target. The 172 had 124kw which is 166HP and 168PS. The 182 had 131kw which is 175HP and 178PS.

In comparison the megane fits the target perfectly

Because Peugeot have the 206 GTi180 and we want to have 2BHP more

Teki04 · 22-09-2006, 12:18 PM

Here you go;
*note; recaros are NOT on aussie model*

photn · 22-09-2006, 12:21 PM

yer i would but i wouldnt BUY 1 lol. if i got given one hell yer. i did also say that i would buy a better car when i had a full time job lol. i also said in the 1st post that im not gettting one lol....just saying that when i get a better job renault will be on the list of possible cars that i would buy!

photn · 22-09-2006, 12:23 PM

wtf is with the handbrake. from what i can make out it looks like a throttle from a jet or sumthing from a space craft lol...

MISTA FIESTA · 22-09-2006, 12:31 PM

WOW With those pixs Teki think i would prefer either F1 or 225 Cup. Those seats look luxurious and the rims are Yummy.'

On a side note did AUS get any V6 Clio's, Ive seen alot of vids on them and its a MONSTER but turning circle is a bit meh

Swaytan · 22-09-2006, 04:40 PM

It's looking better in some of those angles, but I still don't like the back, it looks awkward. But the front & interior has grown on me a little.

Nope. Non in Australia that anyone knows of.

Yea, turning circle is impractical on my car too... 10.7m! Considering the Fiesta is bigger and achieves 9.6... Oh well!

As for those luxurious seats. Too bad we don't get them here! We just get the standard RenaultSport '225 Cup' seats.
