Everybody loves a good hot hatch. Done properly, the combination of performance, chuckable dynamics, everyday practicality and value for money can be quite intoxicating.
So it seems to be with the new Renaultsport Megane 250 - a typically focused, powerful and fun Renault hot hatch. But we didn't want you to just take our word for it (or that of the assembled body of motoring hacks). This is PistonHeads, you see, the people's motoring website, so we thought we'd get you lot to review it as well.
To help us do this, Renault kindly provided us with a fleet of Renaultsport Meganes (thanks again chaps), which we dispatched to Bedford Autodrome for a good thrashing at the hands of our 'citizen reviewers'.
The result is this, a microsite where you can read our PHers' reviews of Renault's latest fast hatch, and watch a video of their on-track exploits. We think they did a good job of it actually, in fact they made our job look far too easy.
Thanks to the the six Phers who gave up their time to join us at a rather chilly circuit one Monday morning and we hope you enjoy the result.
