Thanks for the reply . Just in the early stages of ordering one
Just bear in mind that they don't seem to be getting delivered with it, although it's possible to enable it remotely - this happened to me and a few other people on the forumsEd from Cyprus said:
Hey, Sorrento
Congratulations!
As to windows, normally you need to hold Unlock button for 3-5 seconds to open the windows after unlocking the doors, at least on other Renaults.
Please share your experience about ground clearance vs curbs, ramps, and parking entrances? Any issues in this department?
Nope, double press and long press don't work to open the windows.Congratulations!

No issues with ground clearance as yet, it doesn't strike me as a particularly low front end.
Picked up my car just under 2 weeks ago.
Went for the smaller wheels, had reservations over how they would look but seeing them on the car think they look brilliant. It came with Sport Contact 6's which I'm pleased with as I'm not a big fan of the Potenzas (personal preference)
I took a stock car (due to my impatience and discount offered) Arrived within 2 weeks of ordering.
Bright yellow dealer sticker was removed within minutes of receiving the car.
(yes I have photoshopped the plates) and I was too lazy to sit and do the whole thing

Hello everyone and thank you for answering questions about RS.
Local dealer finally received a demo car and I had a run on RS Trophy today.
Very much impressed with the car even in comparison to my previous Porsche 981.
Cup chassis was not stiff at all and perfectly fine for a daily use so I'm going to proceed with a
Trophy at some point soon.

Nice One Ed, you will enjoy i'm sure. I still get excited when I get to drive mine!
I cant find the RS monitor anywhere on the infotainment. Anybody got any advice?
It needs to be activated if you have it. The dealer should do it, if you go on to the renaultsportclub forum on the megane bit there is a thread there with a guy who can activate if you need it. I don't know how to link it. He sorted mine for me. For some reason a lot of dealers don't do this even though it's standard for all trophy's.I cant find the RS monitor anywhere on the infotainment. Anybody got any advice?
Can anyone share experience with Recaro bucket sits in new RS?
All reviews highly praise them for comfort and look, and that being very thin they give much more knee space in the rear.
I'm interested to know what adjustments they have (especially if height adjustments) and what is real knee space behind, and especially foot space under, and how comfortable they are.
May be some pictures from various points of someone have them in own car.
It's expensive option, but really tempted to have for a daily use (not track). The car I tested had regular sits in alcantara and we don't have any other cars here to compare.

Coming round to the idea of a RS280 Cup after sitting in one at Brands last week and also after many months searching for a nearly new Cupra with uba-rare buckets (and wheel hop !!!).
Previous car (for 14 months) was Mk3 Focus RS with its uncompromising ride, general interior poor quality and reliability 'issues'.
Ride was too hard as a daily and that's coming from a owner of an Impreza on Bilsteins for 14 years (a daily for 9).
Does the 8 inch screen come standard with Android Auto / Mirror link as I've kinda become addicted to using Waze and it's handy police, pothole and roadkill warnings.
I hope to test drive tomorrow.
