What a car! I just love watching it being chiseled a little more, made a little sportier with every new model. I'm just hoping one day, Renault will unleash proper power so it can eliminate the competition for good. Great review, thank you.
Nice review. I own both the 265 and the 300 trophy. I agree, the 300 is definitely a step up, and is more refined. I love both cars, we are lucky as consumers that these sort of cars are developed.
4:35 boot space is not 434 litres, it’s 294 according to official spec. 434 is for the regular Mégane, and even that is not what Renault is stating, which is 384 litres (VDA measurement - a measurement focussed on usable boot space, versus the absolute space, which is the 434 litres). The RS has a notably smaller boot because the boot floor had to be raised in order to accommodate for the modified exhaust. So 294 litres of usable space, and that’s quite bad. Smaller than Golf, Focus, Civic, pretty much everything really. This makes it much less usable than its rivals.
Kasimir den Hertog thing that really puts me and family off is the CTR only seats 4 , why oh why not Honda just add 1 extra seatbelt in rear??! Adds massive convenience at minimum cost. It’s make or break for ppl who sometimes have to carry 5 ppl
@@nixodian Agree I looked at the Civic Type R and couldn't buy one because I have three kids :( Really weird that they wouldn't do three up in the back.
Great review of a great car and very tempting to upgrade from my RS265 at some point in the future - shame the range has been reduced as more dynamic Golf alternative
The old one is better, I test drove the new one and it was decent but its a much more mainstream car for a wider audience. I miss my rs275, I used to have one and now I own a cayman gt4.
@@TheWretchedWorldYou miss the 275 over the Porsche? Just curious since I never drove a Porsche. I will drive my stage 1 265 till its heart stops from beating. And then I hope to find another good one in my preferred spec.... Never even bothered to test drive the Meg 4 RS. 4 doors and EDC is a no go for me and the wheels are butt ugly imo. 4-control heard too many bad things about it. I like it pure and simple, pure feeling and feedback at the limit.
My next car... Upgrading from a mustang ecoboost with all the sauce added to it. Having a child now and aiming for two, this should give me equal or more enjoyment because it is sharp and looking at the civic without looking boy-racer. Or the S3.... or M235i xdrive? hmmmm...
The exhaust sounds ridiculous and I absolutely love it 😂

Saw one in Red and holy FUCK it looks hot

Great review from a proper enthusiast!

I want one in orange tonic and recaros 😍
i wish they brought the proper recaros!
This will mine new dream renault car
I want one so bad! Just waiting for the prices to drop a lil bit. Was looking at the Cup EDC as a stopgap but there doesn't seem to be any stock!
Great delivery
I assume the automatic box is a true auto and you don't have to use the padals to change gear?
I’m the owner of a Megane RS265 Trophy. Wonder whether the handling is so much of an upgrade on the new one
Hot hatches bring out my inner Clarkson
POWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!
Beautiful car!!!!Bravo Renault!!
Das Infotainment ist Klasse . Wenn du das hinter dir hast bin ich auf und davon 😉.
Very nice review, the car looks awesome, but it comes in at Golf R money 4WD versus 4 wheel steering, I reckon I would prefer the 4WD.
4wd 1000 km oil supplement ::)))))) good choice!
But the sound and design is so much better i mean its brutal

'Here we have a Megaaan Trophy' 😋😋
Great review indeed....nice sound as well
Kinda missing the 3 door coupe but it makes sense for them to go 5 door.
Heyyy write me
that infotainment looks like a dealbreaker.
This review is 2020 pre-facelift, from 2021 the infotainment was upgraded.
It's nice car I love the sport one but it's to expensive
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍👍
What’s waste of a car in Australia.
Too expensive for what's on offer ...
It’s half a car . You can get better tech and a better ride in a new Kia
What a load of bs there is no kia close to these
