I came up against an R26 Megane at the old traffic light Grand Prix and the fact I could just plant my foot and not change gear (Sport Auto mode) I left him for dead, the 6.6 0-60 to me seems very conservative to me.
I've never listened to anyone who reviews cars, prefer to get in them and drive them. I'd seen the reviews of the 200EDC when it came out and always thought I need to give it a go when the time comes and then came along the 220 just at the time I wanted to move my 197 on.

I owned a 197 for 5 years and decided it was time to change and thought I'd go and try a 220Trophy, me and the missus loved the look especially with the full leather. From the minute I got into it on the test drive and put my foot down I was sold. This car is leagues ahead of anything...
