Mégane R26 Vs 250/265 Cup

[911Spanker]

Seriously thinking about a Mégane as a family run around.

I have a few cars but this one needs to be able to be the default wheels for a family of 4 (2 young kids), including Euro hoons.

Concerns I have with the MK3 is whether the rear is claustrophobic?

Also I don't think the MK3 was homologated to have roof bars?

As for driving and overall reliability, any views? I don't expect Honda reliability but don't want to be broken down every week either as it will be relied on a weekly basis.

Budget is reasonably flexible but I think £12k should get good versions of both.

If I go that route, I would be looking for a MK3 with the Cup chassis, Recaros and RS monitor.

Any thoughts/experiences welcomed. Thanks.

Thanks all and much as I thought - seems like a 250/265 is well worth contemplating..

I never knew that. I did a bit of research but seems to be they weren't homologated for roof bars?

I would love to be wrong - do you have any links etc?
