I'd say 5mpg worse on fuel on average and tyres. brakes etc are more expensive.
Link to the R26?
A big step up in what way?
Bigger, faster, can be doing triple figures without realising. All round more capable.
Also everything costs a fair bit more.
The only thing a Clio is better at is getting the back end out on roundabouts.

They are effortlessly quick. Especially with 270+ bhp.
It's upsetting to be honest.
I don't know, my Clio is far less enthusiastic to get it's arse out than a friends megane. That was very slidey.
Big step up in my opinion , I did it , and it is costly but imo worth while , tyres brakes etc aren't as cheap , Cambelts normally around the same price.
I average about 22mpg to work but I sit in traffic, on a run mines decent does 200miles on half a tank , and it's comfy to do that as well!

I currently drive both cars in our household and regularly jump in and out of each one daily.
The clio is awesome for a quick blast and country road and just feels raw. The megane just feels effortless as already mentioned and so smooth to drive and with the torque just feels the easier drive

I don't think they're much more expensive to run. Nothing other than maintenance went wrong on my 172/82 or r26 - could be different if I had a nail I guess.
The torque makes an r26 feel quicker and it is easier to drive faster, but standard vs standard there isn't that much in it when 'going for it' - but in gear and day to day driving it's much more capable. Megane clearly has a lot more tuning potential too - a new exhaust and remap would make a healthy difference. Just depends if yore into the modding scene.

Just a simple Stage 1 upgrade will see 270 Bhp. Like somebody said three figure speeds are too easy and speeds achievable through the twistys defy the laws of physics. Great cars but be careful as they do have their faults which can be costly to fix. Pick a good one and you won't regret it. Liquid Yellow is the best colour but can be expensive to repair if damaged.
