Evo 5 RS
Certainly makes repairs easier having 5 doors. Less panel space to crease lol
Is there definitive evidence for this?
I would have thought cutting two extra holes in the side of a metal box would have reduced the strength of it?
Just anecdotal evidence from the BMW club racing scene. People would opt for saloon shells over coupes because they're stiffer. Don't even know if it would apply to hatches where all doors tend to have frames though.

I recall this being said when I was suggesting the M4 was a better car than the M3...that the M3 was stiffer because while it does have apertures they're mostly full of heavier and stiffer stuff than the basic thinner skin of an M4 shell.
Everybody has their own opinions though or everybody would just buy the same car.You should know by now that if someone has an opinion on the internet, yours is completley null and void.
Think of it as everyone having sky but that f**king dude getting erect over five door hot hatches in here being the only barer of a remote.
Slowly slowly going off Cs for the first time in a long time.
Compared to the megane it's a real bargain. Aparrently they are selling well and some are px'ing early hatches for the fastback. There should be a plenty to choose from on the used market in a few years.Come in at around 28K i think and TBH i thought it would be a bit cheaper .
That's what I thought of too. Its got a nice little duck tail kick, it's better looking in the metal than in pic's.The fastback does look good in the rear shots. Reminds me of a C class or something. Think i would still have the hatch tho.
? Renault Wakefield were OK to be fair. He rang me as soon as the trophy arrived and I was the first person to test it. Iad already been and tested the 280.I believe the dealers are generally very good too which is now very high up on my list when choosing a car. Renault main dealers are f**king terrible and regardless of the franchise owner its all the same, so its Renaults fault.
They are like the little kids in your kids class at school that have scumbag parents, except the parents are Renault and the little kids are the dealers!
to be fair to Renault, the dealers are generally very pleasant when your looking to spend £20k+ on a car, I got a free hot chocolate and then a few weeks after taking delivery asked to leave for telling the technician I was driving RS clios when he was still in his dads ballsack because I was accused of not being able to use an electric window switch correctly.?

The fastback was in the middle of the showroom and they had 3 hatchbacks outside but they moved 3 cars and got the fb out for me no problem, trade plates in and out we went. It only had 19 miles on it too.
I like the new Meg, there's 2 different screens in them you know. 140i is a good shout but they ugly as f! I'd go GTI over R in the golf, again for looks mainly. But for the money the hyundai is a bargain compared to any of those brand new. Get an ex demo and save another £5k.
The bigger screen is indeed an optional extraThe standard screen in the Meg is a small landscape type one, the larger portrait one like @Ricardos has is an option.
Definatly do plenty of test drives, you don't want to spunk that sort of money on the wrong car!
If you find yourself in the Midlands anytime soon please give me a shout and come for a drive in itHmm, further investigation required i think. I think the Civic Type R's looks are a bit extreme for me. The Meg is just a bit meh, don't really like the screen inside. Things like Focus RS, A45 & RS3 don't interest me, mainly due to running costs and price to buy. I think the only other options is something like a Golf R/GTI or M1/2/35/40i
I did try to drive an Abarth 124, but they didn't have one ready. I sat in one and it was a bit claustrophobic and i couldn't move the steering wheel towards me. Plus the foot well is a very strange shape! Only other car i can think of atm would be a Z4 3.0 similar to @dann2707
