R27 is going....

[jocker]

There are 3 models

250 Cup

250 (no cup pack) but has alot of other toys inc. full leather, key card, tyre monitor, privacy glass, better stereo, climate etc

250 (based on above) with Cup packs and Leather Recaros

Many go for the cup version, as its cheaper, but I have in essence a FF 250 with Leather Recaros

 

[fosk]

There are 2 versions surely, the 250 and the 250 cup!

 

[jocker]

Basically yes but according to the price guide there are 3 versions

250 Cup, 250 & 250FF

 

[daydotz]

not many are going for xenons though which in time reno will drop from the options

 

[Joeh]

me and the old man test drove one the other day, have to say i was VERY impressed, the burble from the exhaust is awsome, rs moniter is amazing and the interior feels more vw than renault. Renaultsport is the way forward, who wants a chavmobile focus st with vents stuck on everywhere and a bright green paintjob......... yuck

 

[Gally]

Who wants a renault that'll depriciate like a maybach and has plastic wheel arches stuck onto to a 1.4 megane body?

 

[Munson]

They don't do the Focus ST in bright green.

Good choice mate. Bit fan of the Meg 250. Comfort, good fun handling and big pace. All win for me.

 

[Gaz_]

If i was buying new it would be a Meg. The focus is soon to be replaced.....

 

[jocker]

All cars depreciate its one of those things I'm afraid. I purchased the car on F&F so i'll be paying less than most, so it should reduce the depreciation i suffer.

I didn't spec the xenons as the standard lights are good enough (they are on my 197 anyway). I would have had but it was the lights or the recaros - and the recaros won!

 

[Munson]

Ouch. That won't go down well with the CS Xenon Police

 

[jocker]

Are there no CS Recaro police who can fight my corner?

 

[tollan172]

why is every1 ripping a focus rs saying they have chavy vents n all that.. lets face it they are totaly amazing looking cars and handle and go like a train and RS is a brand i would love to own one day!! i no longer own my 172 but if i remember it had plastic arches.... nuff said

 

[jocker]

Just been told its now a July delivery! The wait will be worth it

God thats a long time - why do they take so bloody long to build

 

[Gally]

Built to your specification mate, shame they didn't have one in the showroom that had most of the options you were looking for.

 

[Munson]

The whole car probably goes through the factory in a day (most plants produce 800+ per day at least). You're in a queue of cars that includes hundreds of thousands of standard Meganes.

 

[SteveS Cup]

Nice mate. Very nice.

I'm not sure why people are ripping into either the meg or frs. Both lovely cars.

 

[Munson]

Who's ripping into who or what?

 

[jocker]

Healthy debate...

Both cars are fantastic and its down to personal choice - different folks different strokes.

I personally prefer the Meg thats why i brought one, but think the Focus also looks & drives awesome.

This would be my 4th RS (Trophy, 182FF & R27) and no doubt i'll have a 5th in the future.

 

[Fletcher]

Are there no CS Recaro police who can fight my corner?

I'll fight your corner. Ifi was in your shoes then I would have picked the recaros over the xenons.

Well done Renault for getting a car to compete with a Fast Ford imo. 10 years ago the Megane had a 2.0 16v and slower than the hot Clio. Fast forward to know and we have a brilliant car with LSD, 4pots etc.
