Renault Megane RS TROPHY 300 REVIEW POV Test Drive on AUTOBAHN & ROAD by AutoTopNL

[@gcu2810]

The stability of this car is incredible. Free reving too.

[@mro9466]

Proof that some people at Renault are able to make cool cars. Too bad it's limited to some models.

[@dr.robertt.mullaneiii1561]

Wicked sharp! Thanks Renault and Max for another thrilling ride / report. Wow, 260 kmh fast for a 1.8 liter!

[@fourtry]

Renault megane rs trophy R turning stage 2 can do 275 kmh.

[@psycheevolved1428]

I had a clio rs200 and it was quick! Until u drive a Renault and feel its character, you wont understand them. They are beasts.

[@prosecanlik4296]

I drive Megane 2007, 1.5 dci but it drives really great. 86hp but it has a feeling that it goes faster than it actually does, how it manages to do that I just don't know honestly. Also about handling, handles turns and corners like a little champ, even tho tyres aren't in their best shape. Maybe I will go for 4 new Michelin tyres, just imagine grip on them

[@matickravcar7461]

I ordered my megane rs trophy edc in february and received it 14 days ago... the car is pure porn... fantastic to drive,responsive and the grip is outstanding... its like its glued to the road... and the exhaust is very good... the edc works very good and quickly changes the gear... i have it with standard renault sport seats with alcantara and they are the option to choose.. i tried those recaros and they are not comfortable belive me... plus standard ones are heated.. recaros arent.... and the ride quality is insane... the way that car goes into corners... 👏👏👌👌🥳

[@SuperDigitalMe]

Is the EDC reliable?

[@gky3019]

hey man how much did you pay for it ? Im laking at used ones right now and seem to be just about 30k euros, is that negotiable you think ?

[@matickravcar7461]

GKY hey... i payed 39.400€ with all options... so all the options i mean all only recaros and panorama roof not... everything else including warning and safety features and with winter tyres included and free services till reacihnig 100.000 km... i would never buy a car like this used... it is much better if u order it and you know how you have driven it... especially at the beginning

[@gky3019]

@@matickravcar7461 okay thanks for the advice, the car has only about 1500km however so i think it just passed the break-in period.

[@matickravcar7461]

GKY sometimes those 1500 is like 150.000... a car like this must be driven very slow and 3500 rpm max till 4.000 km made... good luck ;)

Still the best car channel on the internet/KZbin. Love the POV as always. Loads of info about the car. Top speeds, sounds, car walk arounds, everything us car guys/girls want. I don't like Renaults but glad you are expanding your videos into as many manufacturers as possible. Time for the new supra drive... And the new z4. Need to test drive more Japanese cars though. But great anyway :)

Wow ! I always underestimated this car until I saw one once cornering at an insane speed and flowing like butter .

[@Lucas-ck1po]

I think this car is blistering perfection! I wouldn't like any all wheel drive, automatic, double clutch whatever whatever.... i like the fact that Renault makes modern sports hatches with the same old school recipe, it's the same recipe since the 80's but with modern materials, analysis and execution. Still the same fun, engaging and analogue fun cars. I wish they sold these in my country but they don't... one reason to move elsewhere haha! Great video mate, it sure justifies the subscription! Make more with this car if you have the chance!

[@sirius8103]

Renault's "sport" version with "TURBO" were a lot more agressive in the 80's. Ok, today there is a lot better performance but the driving sensations and the turbo response in the 80's were more brutal and a little bit dangerous because the chassis were not as excellent as today. To me, the most brutal and dangerous RENAULT ever made is the Clio V6 phase 1 in the 2000's.

[@CJax749]

In the facelift model, you always start in Mysense mode. You can configure Mysense with all the Sport mode characteristics so it is the same as sport mode and you will start with those customisations. Otherwise it really is just 1 press of the RS button to switch from Mysense to Sport mode.
