[@muhddanialhamzahabdullah7389]

Life is too short to drive boring car. That is really nice car to drive even as daily car. I saw one yesterday at MEX highway. Enjoy your driving. I believe the reason you choose this car because the car suite to your character and your love to the car. The main criteria to choose a car. 👍💪🚗

[@ThomasYap]

Yes! Totally agree especially when you are a car guy! And yes I picked this car coz it suits my driving demands! 🙈

[@itzdavidhoo]

Congratz on your new ride! Love your philosophy on "playing safe" and the experience that you're getting back!

[@ThomasYap]

Yes. I think life is an opportunity to experience. To learn, To love, To laugh. :) Cheers!

[@johnmatthewlow88]

True, driving this car is an experience in itself. What a machine.

[@ThomasYap]

Yeah it’s hard to gauge this car on paper. It’s so unique and the feels is one of a kind

Loool! My reputation precedes me. 😂😂😂

[@riezalwayne911]

thanks Mr Yap ✌️

[@ThomasYap]

No probs!

[@faizulkamal4400]

Hi Thomas! Was googling and found your video. I got one of these beauties back in April. It's the last one (25/25) that TC Euro Cars have that they kept in their warehouse. Unfortunately it's not a manual but it doesn't stop me from switching the transmission to manual every time. Luuuuve the paddle shifters!. Not an expert on cars other than love the pure pleasure of driving. Hope we can connect sometime in the future and chat more about our ride. :D

[@ThomasYap]

Hey Faizul! Great to hear from a fellow Megane mk4 RS owner! Yes, this far is a lot of fun! Come join us on weekend drives. Join club.evomalaysia.com for more info!

[@justinlzt]

Congrats bro! saw you on LDP the other day. The racun is reaallll

[@ThomasYap]

Wah kena spotted d. 🙈 Cheers bro!

[@hyphed4196]

Amazing, really want one since it stands out in the UK, everyone drives A45S, RS3, S3, and Golf R so it is something different, aiming to get the 2022 model in liquid yellow, in 300 guise and EDC, the facelifted one apparently improved handling even more and gave you a full digital cluster with improved infotainment.

[@ThomasYap]

Yes! Totally agree that it stands out from looks to the way it drives. Good luck with getting the RS300! We have a 2 x RS300 EDC arrived at our shores from what I know. Maybe a few more coming. But it won't be common for sure.

[@aBc4life00]

So cool. Congratulation!

[@ThomasYap]

Thanks bro!

[@ShufaadTheChartist]

Your happiness is contagious la bro!!! :)

[@ThomasYap]

Thanks shufaad! :) as my colleague Cardock would say “Racun Itu Benar”

[@michaelleong1977]

Great looking car! Always good to have a daily driver which is fun at the same time

[@ThomasYap]

Yep! This fits the bill very well! :D

[@autoflirt7223]

Great choice. Don't see many of these on the road at all. Nice change from more conventional options in this bracket.

[@ThomasYap]

Yeah I’m super lucky coz there’s only 6 manuals brought in by TC Euro!

[@nelsongerald3545]

My dream car sir. I'm working hard to achieve my dream soon. Congrats and job well done to you on your megane 🙏🏻

[@ThomasYap]

Where we focus our energy goes! Good luck on your endeavours! 🙏

[@BroLoong]

Congratulations Thomas! I’m driving a white manual unit! Done 49000 Kms since I got the car May last year. We must get together one day!

[@ThomasYap]

Wah the one and only white mk4 with manual in Malaysia! I’m all over it just 1 week into my car ownership. Can’t get enough of it!

[@BroLoong]

Yup yup it’s been good fun! Managed to put in some quality mileage… hehehehe There are only 6 manuals in Malaysia? What colours are they?

[@ThomasYap]

@@BroLoong Nice! One pearl white, 2 liquid yellow, 3 orange tonic. :)

[@ThomasYap]

@@BroLoong add me at my instagram handle @thomasyapofficial. We meet up some day for drives :)

[@hungrytapir]

Congrats Thomas! Now it needs an exhaust to let it sing

[@ThomasYap]

Hahah... This is tempting. But it's a daily. Maybe after the warranty period.

[@denniswong4874]

Congrats on your new ride dude. 78..same plate number as mine

[@ThomasYap]

Wah nice number too! Cheers!

[@speedtribex]

Congratulations bro 🎊🎊🎉🎉🔥 great choice for a daily 🤣👍

[@ThomasYap]

Thanks bro! Daily but crazy. 😂😂

[@Choony126]

Congrats bro

[@ThomasYap]

Cheers!

[@honglinng2368]

Nice content and hello from Singapore! Currently driving a Mk7 Gti and like you mentioned it’s abit too perfect and lacks the wild factor. Was considering the Megane RS and now you just made me wanna get it more. 😅

[@ThomasYap]

Thanks! Yea the chassis plays a huge role in the car’s character. But then again, golfs are great at being an all rounder, more comfortable and competent.

[@BaldwinChua]

Congratulations on your new ride bro! The poison is strong in this one 😈

[@ThomasYap]

Thanks bro! Let’s go to the French bakery!

[@dennischai4831]

Its an alternative ride to the A45 AMG. Roadholding is supposedly fantastic.

[@ThomasYap]

Yep it corners like it’s on rails. But…. It can be naughty too

[@dennischai4831]

Beautiful colour too..."signal yellow" if not mistaken. Luckily its not common if not, you have to have white racing stripes to make it stand out

[@ThomasYap]

@@dennischai4831 ah mine is Orange tonic. :)

[@malantra5730]

Wanted to get one of these after test driving it, but couldn’t afford so went for a golf instead, sad there’s no reconditioned car of this, very good buy 👍🏻

[@ThomasYap]

I'm sure more will pop out in the market soon. :) Golf is still a great car!

[@malantra5730]

@@ThomasYap maybe won’t get hot hatch already in near future, but I can guarantee for you, megane rs would be better than golf, because even after stage 1 I don’t feel as exciting driving the golf compared to when I drove the megane rs

[@ThomasYap]

@@malantra5730 ahhh. I think chassis setup plays a huge role in a car’s character. Sometimes more than the engine. In this case, Renault worked some magic on this one. :) But then again, golf is a great daily and all rounder compared to the Megane. So I guess it depends what people are looking for!

[@aviator-kn8zq]

Good choice in a sporty hatchback fr!

[@ThomasYap]

Yep! Definitely!

[@maisondeprovencethailande]

Wouah !! I like this car !! I am very sad that not have Renault in Thailand !! I waiting it ! Because I live in Thailand ! How to buy it ? if I want to import in Thailand ?

[@limchooiling9813]

Congrats bro! I thought the E30 is supposed to be your daily driver

[@ThomasYap]

Yes bro. But after owning it for awhile I realise that I need a more modern daily. Safety, cabin noise, reliability etc. e30 will still be driven around a lot. :)

[@robbier6763]

The car wash was really satisfying to watch! (especially the foaming part) Where did you get those wash buckets from btw?

[@ThomasYap]

Thanks. Washing my cars is a sort of therapy and I feel there’s an art form too (with the foam!) I bought the black buckets myself online and printed my own stickers 😂.

[@robbier6763]

@@ThomasYap Ohhh nice, I have been looking for wash buckets myself but can't seem to find any good ones haha Looking forward to more of your wash & drives videos!

[@ThomasYap]

@@robbier6763 I feel you bro. That’s why I created mine haha. I got sick of using some recycled paint bucket. Thanks for tuning in bro. More to come this week :)

[@mioranwaraizuddin4776]

congratulations on your new ride!! minat betul kereta ini. bro soalan cemas, gaji yg sesuai utk beli ni agak2 berapa ye? 😅

[@ThomasYap]

Thanks Mior. I think conservative is not to spend lebih Dari 20% of gaji on hire purchase. Kalau memang minat and bleh tahan - then bleh 30%. Now second hand Auto auto Manual from 230k - 250k. So kalau loan 9 years, monthly instalment kira2 Rm2.7k. So gaji 9k - 10k bokeh angkat dgn selesa. kurang pun bleh tapi I x galakan sebab tak ada duit lebih utk kecemasan atau melabur. Ini opinion saya jer ya.

[@pukiong]

U can ordee it with recond direct importer The trophy r .....it not cheap

[@ThomasYap]

Yeah. Trophy maybe... too hardcore as a daily.

[@MrPoppyplants]

This was the one selling for 200k used? Great bargain!

[@ThomasYap]

Not that model! I think that one is booked!

[@NobixLee]

I like this guy😂

Thanks for watching

[@zeen2248]

Dare to be RARE !

Did you consider the 130n before buying this?

Ah nope. This Color sealed half the deal for me lol.

Ah thanks! I'm trying to keep it more vlog style moving forward!

[@brownguy9135]

Sadly they killed the RS division Dommage j'aimais bien la Megane 😕. Btw do you have the cup chassis and 4 control?

[@ThomasYap]

Ahh? I heard rumours of it. Is it confirmed?! :( Yes it's the cup chassis. :)

[@brownguy9135]

@@ThomasYap Yeah look at their F1 team, it's now alpine instead of Renault sport. They are now going with electric cars. Sadly that is the last RS.

[@michaelleong1977]

Is this a used car? How come the tyres are worn already?

Yes it was a subscription car,
