Just sent back the paperwork for a lease on a 275 Cup S. Have been told it will be a factory order and should be with me at some point over the summer!

A little excited? Nope

Can I ask where from and what sort of price?

[baptistsan]

Surely.

Any updates folks?

[baptistsan]

Received a delivery date of August 12th.

How long to build a car???

Ah well, gives me time to shift the VRS.

[jbaddeley]

Mine should be here in early June. Apparently it's awaiting shipment to the uk.

Mine should be here this week, Titanium grey Cup-S on 18's, leather Recaros and some useless gadgets added. Will post pics.

[jbaddeley]

Think you ordered your after me Nick. Don't know what the delay with mine has been. What was you build date completion? Look forward to seeing pics.

[nickfrog]

I don't really know Jon. Car is at the dealers' and might be ready later today, and if not, tomorrow AM. Will post pics.

[jbaddeley]

Good stuff. Look forward to hearing how you think it stacks up against the m135i.

[baptistsan]

Went Titanium grey too. Lease car though so no extras.

Got it 2 days ago - a totally different proposition than the M135i. It's a very good car so far - steering, lat grip, damping, brakes, feedback. My god, why have I waited for so long ? Looks like I got one of the last ones, glad I did. What a car, not just for the money. A bh in the wet, lift with lock on and the rear comes into play, brilliant..

[jbaddeley]

Looks brill in that colour. The Renault configuration doesn't do it justice. Wishing I'd gone for that now.. Hey ho. Glad to hear that initial impressions are so positive. We need more pics.

[nickfrog]

Don't worry about the colour - from behind the wheel you can't see it and other things become more important.

Having seen your pics I am now even more impatient for mine to arrive. The seats look epic, shame they would have cost me an extra grand a year.

That looks like a decent panel gap there, what is happening with that?




Please feedback with more of your thoughts when you can.

Cheers.

[nickfrog]

Yes the plastic panel hasn't been hooked properly - absolutely no movement though. They'll look at it and will probably make it worse.

Thankfully it's the only issue, rest of the gaps are consistent and more or less well aligned, for a Renault.

[baptistsan]

Good to know. For a horrible moment I thought it may have been damaged in transit

How horrific are the interiors, what's the infotainment system like and hows the radio?

That's a very odd way to ask a question! Go and take a look at one and find out for yourself.

DoubleD is right, safer if you sit in one and judge for yourself. It's no boudoir but it's all well put together and looks decent and ergonomic. The Satnav is decent not that I need it. The data logging, lap timer and range of performance/monitoring dashboard is unheard of even in more expensive cars. I have digital tyre pressure too which is all I need for track work really. If you're after the last word in pixel counts and fancy gadget then this is probably not the car for you as it targets a somewhat different audience.

My Titanium Grey Cup-S arrived over the weekend too

I find the interior a nice place to be for this price point. I even thought on the way home that it was really rather quiet! But maybe that's because my reference point is a little off...
