What car, Focus RS mk1 or Meganne f1 R26 (yellow)

[SirSamuelBuca]

Wanted a Focus rs for about 2 years now (i cant afford a cerbera :'(). I do love my current renault and have started looking at the meganne sports.

I think im starting to sway. 7k gets you so much including LSD etc

Any one have experience with either? At least i could stay in the renault turbo owners club then

main use other than pootling to work will be track/odd trip down the strip for a laugh (if i sell my r5gtt) and a yearly nurburgring trip (think the meganne would be best for this.

I really think the r26 might actually be a better car, but depreciate faster (thinking the LE yellow might not).

tbh the meganes looks have grown on me!

love the focus rs mk1 though. think ill just have a go in both only way!

[SirSamuelBuca]

but is it as good round a track? i wouldnt want to spend £ on a LSD. easily tuneable to 300bhp though eeeek

well ye it does think the quaif (sp) diff works differently to an LSD. but same job done

Had lots of experience in a meg r26.r, in fact I'd go so far as to say it was my favourite 12 months in a car, great fun!

However, people do complain about reliability which may be an issue as the cars get older. I'm planning on buying another this winter & I've got to be honest, even though nothing went wrong with mine I'm slightly concerned that now they're a couple of years older things might not be the same.

One thing I do notice about focus RS mk1 these days is the interior is a pretty crappy place to be, it just hasn't aged well in there. But the exterior, well they still look fantastic to me.

Megane for me

ye i agree on those points. The RS on the outside looks awesome tbh. and i love the ford heritage! but hmmm i think the megane could be a better all round car.
