neither get a Rs Focus then you've got useable power that'll be comfortable on the commute.
Golf 7R
Are you aware that you drive a Renault?

This. But at the 'ring.
Brutal cars, but I also love the V6 too so couldn't make a choice.

The R26r is a "track focused" car and it's rubbish,I'd rather push a shopping trolly around Tesco's.V6 very nice,but the cost of anything that goes wrong would scare me to death.

R26R... The V6 is a pointless car.
I love it so much but until I have a garage full of my ultimate cars in a collection I'll never own one.
Not fast, cost a lot to run, don't handle, no practicality etc etc etc.
At least the R26R goes well and goes round corners well! I'd prefer to live with the buckets and harnesses everyday then be disappointed with the performance of my supercar costing hatch back.

First time I've ever heard of the R26R being slated!
I say this with the respect knowing what cars you have etc but what is rubbish about it!?

I agree.

After giving one a dam good thrashing around Bedford,I was left wondering what all the fuss was about.The car doesn't seem to know what it wants to be.
What makes it a track car,roll cage?.Its a very expensive compromise,I didn't have any expectations before I got in it,but after about 15 mins I was left thinking is that it,lets put the radio on,have a smoke and put my arm out the window.
This is supposed to be a track car that you can use on the road,far from it.Handling wasn't as sharp as it should be,understeered like Bambi on ice and when they said the exhaust was nearly £2k,what the f..k is all that about,some pikey will only come and saw it off anyway.
No sorry, Renault got it wrong I'm afraid,it could have been so much better.
Anything else? I was expecting more of a slating actually for my comments,most people see a red rollcage and start to masterbate.
All the above is just my opinion of course and doesn't mean anybody that has one or want one are w**kers.

I didn't mention anything about performance,but it is quick if that helps.

im not at all suprised to hear that someone who drives a clio racecar found a production weekend track car limp wristed.
182cup & 172 racecar
lol,thanks Roy but Hammy I'm not.
What happened to the single make championship for Megans?never happened.I just expected to WOWed by it,just a car with a rollcage to me.
182cup & 172 racecar
That was handling not performance.I don't expect to have to drive a car for half a day to get the best out of it(not something like this anyway)usually 4-5 laps and I'm away.

I would probably say it was good fun Roy.I keep saying it was marketed as a Track focused car and charging a mint for it.
If it's your only car - neither.
If you want a second car for the track - R26R.
If you want a second car for the road - V6.
The Megane is one of the ugliest cars ever. It's track capabilities are excellent, however.
The V6 is a car like no other - it is an occassion to drive and I love every second of driving it. It is ridiculous and nothing like it will be tried again I doubt - which is what makes it so special. Might not go as fast as it should, but on the road is handy enough in the right hands.
Good to be discussing more than one crazy effort by Renault.

I was just giving my opinion as I had driven both,if we all liked the same thing it would be boring wouldn't it.Go drive one and see for yourselves,you may love them but I had more fun driving Warrens clio around Oulton Park.
