Another epic video Mr. James. You put the same enthusiasm when you are in a hypercar or in a hatchback, and that shows. Also, Im very glad you enjoy every visit to my country so much :)
Every time I watch one of your videos, i want to go and buy one of whatever your driving. These companies have got the right idea getting you to test their cars.
This is the kind of content I enjoy the most as it’s the most “relevant” to me as this is a car I could afford to buy, and may well own at some point! As good as the supercar/hypercar vids are that you do, there’s little to no relevance for me or many others as there pieces of art/extravagance that most will never own/see/drive, and as some have found out - even if they do manage somehow to obtain super/hypercars, they can’t actually “really” afford them when it comes to running/looking after them! Still - great vid👌😜
You have a new fan! I really enjoyed this review and can't wait to see one of these cars for real. So excited! I'm an advocate of the EDC system though and I'm glad Renault have ignored the critics and carried on producing it:o).
Surely if the BBC want any chance of making Top Gear work for the future, they have to look at what the best automotive RUclipsrs are doing. They should consult the audience and worldwide car community and have people like Mr JWW presenting proper Petrol head videos like this. Have Chris Harris and multiple presenters and get rid of the gimmicks. Leave that to the old guard on the Grand Tour. Great content as always James 🙌
Patrick Tomlinson I think this is the new platform for automotive reviews. After being lucky enough to see so many channels review cars, by the time the TV series hit they just don't do it anymore
viperbeatsvette very true, but even in essence of production value and how content is made I think they could learn a lot. Basically why aren’t they taking these guys to the main screen and trying new ideas instead of sticking with an identity that left with the previous presenters.
Viperbeatsvette, curbweight of an i30 N is 1425 kg in it's Performance iteration. It's a bit heavier due to it's 'rich' standard equipment (electric heated seats a.o.). I'd say you don't notice it when driving thow. Chassis is on the same level as the Meganes and I'd say the drivetrain and stearing is bit better even, with a 2l and more torque (378 Nm).
Hot hatches like this one or seat leon cupra for example don't get enough attention i think. ford, vw and honda hot hatches already have a big fan base they don't need all the extra attention.
That's one of the reasons why European cars are not so big as american cars. Lot of mountains to cross and ancient cities from medieval ages with narrow streets, need little and agile cars.
Had the 2015 Megane rs and loved the light feel about it that you talk about, the skipping around etc feels really race car. Changed it for the new Focus RS love that to but miss the light feels.
Think the fun factor is more with the smaller cars, like their Clio RS. I feel like the Focus RS and Seat Leon Cupra are better examples of sorta family cars turned sporty.
James, do you place notes in the car to remind you of what to talk about next or do you talk straight for over 12 minutes not including edits without written notes? Love your Chanel, keep it rollin. Cheers
i admit Renault do make good hot hatches back in the day i had a 5GT Turbo a thing of wonder the 18 months i had it i just wondered how long the clutch would last (not very long normally)
Great video James, interesting comment on the paddles, it looks like a bit of an oversight from Renaultsport, which surprises me. I like the interior, classier than the RS models of old, plus touchscreen looks pretty decent. It'll probably break at some point though, but at least it looks good 😂
I’ve got a 2015 Focus ST, would this be a worthy “upgrade” or do you go next level up // golf r, RS3 etc. I’m wary of spending 80k-90k+ ($AUD) on an RS3, but if it’s this is a belter, I can save myself 30k.
Side note, the visuals on this are fucking epic. That rolling shot of the car passing in the first part is absolutely amazing. Great grading too. Your work is majorly leveling up!
For Renault: #RenaultBrasilPleaseBringMeganeRStoUs!! We loved the Renaul Sandero R.S. too! For James: always bringing to us the bests cars in the world, once more: Thanks a lot!
Looks like you weren't enjoying that car as much as you normally do other cars James. Hoping the manual gearbox brings more excitement to your driving ;-) Would love to see you do a comparison with this car and the Ford Focus RS that SHMEE has or is getting.
+Mr JWW your clothing line is solid mate!. Best one of all youtubers!!! keep up the great work and quality content. I would buy but its too expensive for me ;(
I stil prefer Seat Leon Cupra, especially the possibility to choose from 3-door, 5-door and ST (also 4drive) AND the engine is superb from 1750 to all the way to red line !
Although i would never have this car as a manual i totally agree about the paddles. I drive a Clio 220 Trophy and it infuriates me that the paddles arent on the steering wheel. I have to take my hands off the wheel to change gear depending on steering angle. Amazing gearbox apart from that.
I've never liked Renault's styling but this one looks great.
I'd have this over any other hot hatch! The Megane RS is simply stunning!! its a perfect blend of power, style, noise and performance!
~ I love this car .. My dear long time friend has just bought a Fiat Abarth 180 bhp. Not a patch on this car ..
Smiles per gallon through the roof! People don't speak like this anymore which is a shame! Another gr8 video, thanks Mr JWW
Ha ha come back any time there is plenty of elaborate chat on this channel! 😜
Exactly 2 years ago on my birthday I subscribed to your channel. What a great decission that was.
Thanks so much!
Exactly? Well... then happy birthday to you today👍
PeaZzz thanks buddy
*I love how ur always honest James , and stay that way man !!*
Nice to see you review a French car! This channel is one of the best because you drive inspirational cars and you know your stuff in-depth
Another epic video Mr. James. You put the same enthusiasm when you are in a hypercar or in a hatchback, and that shows. Also, Im very glad you enjoy every visit to my country so much :)
Cheers from across the pond! Keep nailing it, the passion and dedication keeps me looking forward to the content as always!
MR JWW - The kinda guy to be late to the party but still produce the best content.
110% always 😜 thanks for watching 😊
Good to hear they still have that induction noise! I have an R26 and I love it!
What an amazing scenery at the end! Great video as always James
Wish we got these in the States
My parents had a 5 turbo still remember being driven in it when i was little
Cool parents you have!
awsome review as allways james allways offers a honest review and cant wait for the vid tomorrow !!
Great, honest review and fantastic camera angles!!
More hot hatch content please
Another Amazing Video! Your video editing is off the scale! Top Gear needs to wake up and take you onboard!
Thanks a lot but Top Gear wouldn’t let me edit the content 😜
RS Renaults are epic.
I am a bit of a traditionalist, James. Hot-hatches should only ever be available as a manual with a conventional handbrake.
I’m inclined to agree!
Every time I watch one of your videos, i want to go and buy one of whatever your driving. These companies have got the right idea getting you to test their cars.
Thanks bro!

Still - great vid👌😜
That's is a professional film making wow
those drone shots are stunning!
Great shots and production level, appreciate the extra work
Great video and looks like a great car! French seem to be picking up their game when it comes to hot hatches just like the old days 👌
"smile and glee in the bones" oh ya baby!
You have a new fan! I really enjoyed this review and can't wait to see one of these cars for real. So excited!
I'm an advocate of the EDC system though and I'm glad Renault have ignored the critics and carried on producing it:o).
Look at notification boom MRJWW nice well talked about and driven one take the smoking tire
What an absolute beauty, can't wait to get mine 😁😁😁😁
Looking forward to your take on the manual box James!!
Brilliant video MrJWW!
Finally we'll see your thoughts on the new french beast !
You should drive the Fiesta ST ! it is tons of fun. Great vid as always, keep up the good work
appreciating the clever editing
It's 6:48am at L.A. and am watching the video from MrJWW!
Another great video James, and I love the "alcanTARRA". Regards Rob
I luv your vids so musch so i PRESS LIKE BUTTON TWICE! :P
Ha ha thanks so much!
But then you just end up reversing the like
Another great review👍🏻👍🏻
MrJWW never fails to impress in the cinematography department...
Is it strange that even though I own the car I still watch it’s reviews? Happily driving my dream car
Great video James keep up the great videos!!
What about the manual video on track??
Surely if the BBC want any chance of making Top Gear work for the future, they have to look at what the best automotive RUclipsrs are doing.
They should consult the audience and worldwide car community and have people like Mr JWW presenting proper Petrol head videos like this. Have Chris Harris and multiple presenters and get rid of the gimmicks. Leave that to the old guard on the Grand Tour.
Great content as always James 🙌
Patrick Tomlinson I think this is the new platform for automotive reviews. After being lucky enough to see so many channels review cars, by the time the TV series hit they just don't do it anymore

I just subbed a minute back and this is already here. Daaaaaamn
Great video !! Welldone!!
Fab drone footage James👍
Best video production out of all automotive youtubers!
I appreciate the support thanks Mario!
Mario Armando Chabebe most likely most money spent on the productions as well.
They say it on every channel 😅
You should feature Hyundai I30N in a video of yours, seems like a very interesting hot-hatch hitting the market really hard right now!
He did! :) ruclips.net/video/3YnZdPC0gRs/видео.html
TOYOTA Yaris GRMN....
I hear it weighs 1550kg
That's Subaru wrx weight
I'd rather get an awd if it's that heavy in a hatch
Viperbeatsvette, curbweight of an i30 N is 1425 kg in it's Performance iteration. It's a bit heavier due to it's 'rich' standard equipment (electric heated seats a.o.). I'd say you don't notice it when driving thow. Chassis is on the same level as the Meganes and I'd say the drivetrain and stearing is bit better even, with a 2l and more torque (378 Nm).
Where is the track video?
Snarly looking and menacing pocket rocket. Excellent review James
in my opinion the hottest of hot hatches is the Abarth 695 Biposto... cause this is pretty much a mini racecar for the street :D
Great Video mate
Duall Clutch for me anytime .. IF the Gear Ratios are Long enough .. Or at Least as Long as in the Manuall .
Hot hatches like this one or seat leon cupra for example don't get enough attention i think. ford, vw and honda hot hatches already have a big fan base they don't need all the extra attention.
Coming from the middle of the prairies in north america, those roads you're on almost scare me! Lol. Great video, James!
That's one of the reasons why European cars are not so big as american cars. Lot of mountains to cross and ancient cities from medieval ages with narrow streets, need little and agile cars.
Volumex and i hope to experience them some day soon!
Great vid James ;)
Thank you. I enjoy your test drive
Great video James!!! This would be a perfect car to drive on the Nurnbergring if you are a beginner!!!
Awesome car!! I'm sure a chip will bring it up to the Golf R!
think i'll stick to my clio 182 revving to 7500 :P modern turbos just arn't doing it for me
Agreed... Midrange punch just isn't what I'd expect or want from a little hatch. And ditch the dual clutch gearbox too, what's that for?
Well made review!!!👍
Cracking vid
I do not want to be unrespectful , but in my opinion the Golf GTI is the #1 of the Hatches.
Wtf really ? RS3, Focus RS and AMD are far over the GTI
rs3 focus rs and amg are shit on track lmao
This car is just awesome looking especially in that orange colour! The french have done well.
I'm sure one day you will be on primetime tv... quality as ever MrJww
Here’s hoping for prime time Netflix ha ha
Nailed on! all the best
Had the 2015 Megane rs and loved the light feel about it that you talk about, the skipping around etc feels really race car. Changed it for the new Focus RS love that to but miss the light feels.
Another great video.... Can you tell me where that road was looks awesome!!!!
Looks like a great car but I was more mesmerized by the scenery and those drone views 😁😁 why don't I have money for any of these cars 😭😭
Think the fun factor is more with the smaller cars, like their Clio RS.
I feel like the Focus RS and Seat Leon Cupra are better examples of sorta family cars turned sporty.
Would be fucking dope from Renault to make a Twingo RS as the car is already RWD :) But unfortunatly renault said they would not produce one :(
i get mine in two weeks can't wait
James, do you place notes in the car to remind you of what to talk about next or do you talk straight for over 12 minutes not including edits without written notes? Love your Chanel, keep it rollin. Cheers
i admit Renault do make good hot hatches

That is a major glow up!
Nice job mrJww
I saw it at IAA Frankfurt, it's a nice car
Do you know what other car is better with a manual?
The 911 GT3. ^^
How difficult can it be to fit longer and closer 3d printed paddles to it?
Amazing!! I want the manual gearbox please
I’ve got a 2015 Focus ST, would this be a worthy “upgrade” or do you go next level up // golf r, RS3 etc. I’m wary of spending 80k-90k+ ($AUD) on an RS3, but if it’s this is a belter, I can save myself 30k.

Let's start the weekend with fresh content from Mr.JWW
Very nice James!
Any chance you'd ever review a Lotus? Exige or Evora would be awesome!
For Renault: #RenaultBrasilPleaseBringMeganeRStoUs!! We loved the Renaul Sandero R.S. too!
For James: always bringing to us the bests cars in the world, once more: Thanks a lot!
Pleasure as always man thanks for watching!
I'd take this over a focus rs
Own a 2008 Clio 197 Cup and i will never sell it. Looked at upgrading to the Megane RS and didn't think it was a s fun to drive.
Looks like you weren't enjoying that car as much as you normally do other cars James. Hoping the manual gearbox brings more excitement to your driving ;-)
Would love to see you do a comparison with this car and the Ford Focus RS that SHMEE has or is getting.
Awesome car awesome video!
where is the track video?! i cant find it any where???
Content is on another level compared to your other yt friends. You know the ones that fit an exhaust wrap there car then flip it 2 months later 😴😴😴
+Mr JWW your clothing line is solid mate!. Best one of all youtubers!!! keep up the great work and quality content. I would buy but its too expensive for me ;(
More affordable stuff coming to MrJWW.com soon! 😄
Please please make a video like this on the Honda Civic X FK8 Type R
James was this the Sport chassis in this clip? Great video 👍👍
I stil prefer Seat Leon Cupra, especially the possibility to choose from 3-door, 5-door and ST (also 4drive) AND the engine is superb from 1750 to all the way to red line !
Although i would never have this car as a manual i totally agree about the paddles. I drive a Clio 220 Trophy and it infuriates me that the paddles arent on the steering wheel. I have to take my hands off the wheel to change gear depending on steering angle. Amazing gearbox apart from that.
James. Sounds like the Renault maybe a bit juicy. Check,out the petrol pump challenge from It’s only Webby. Keep,up,the great work 👍🏻
It’s like a miniature Topgear, it’s great.
Is the manual review still coming?
The rear reminds me of the new Vantage.
The colour looks great, but would have to see one on UK road
Mr JWW, question; you drive supercars like AM, Ferrari ect ect. Is it still fun to drive a 'normal' car like this Megabe RS????
