Had an RS 250 and finally took the plunge on the RS 280 Cup...A low 24K miles 1 owner and it is just fantastic. Yes the the older version was so much fun but the 280/300 is stellar with a bit more of a refined cabin and I love the shape, just so strong in it's stance. The Cup chassis was a worry but it is more than fine...yes firm but no more than it should be for a hot hatch. Grips immensly, goes around the twisties with aplomb and just so much fun especially at the price you can pick one of these up for now...Sadly as the RS is not going to be made anymore, I will be keeping this one for a long, long time...Great content as always!

These repetitive adverts ARE bloody annoying ! I had a Clio RS with a DSG box previously and loved it SO much, I've now ordered one of these. I'm disabled due to a life threatening road traffic accident, and so needed an auto box. Having always had manual gearboxes, I thought I'd hate a DSG, but I couldn't have been more wrong. In fact, I'd go as far to say that anyone considering this car, MUST really try both transmission types prior to purchase, simply because this DSG is so good and suits the car so well, especially in view of congestion on many roads and in towns. And of course, also having the flappy paddles means you can still drive it like a manual, but with much quicker gear changes ! Discount any thoughts you might have about this car (and ignore the fun you can have with it) at your peril !

Excellent video - I've had my Trophy just over a month, and the steering feel in race mode is absolutely fantastic. Having come from an S2000, the steering feel in modern cars is often quite poor. Putting the car in race makes the car feel so much more planted, more squat and pointy - much like the S2000 felt. If you haven't put the 'driving dynamic' in Race mode yet in your perso setting, I'd advise you to. The difference between race and sport with this setting on is massive, let alone the other modes. Also the ride is great. Firm, but more than comfortable. Compared to my old car, it's like I'm driving on a pillow so I personally fail to see what other reviewers complain about there. PS: You can switch off the keyless entry in the system menu :)

Great fun, yes a tad firm but then that is what a hot hatch should be but the handling is on another level and I think it just looks the best of the current crop of hot hatches...and finally there are not many about so a bit unique to boot... apparantly this is the end of the RS series which is beyond sad so I will hold on to this for a long, long time and enjoy...

Flung it down some country roads and the body control was unbelievable and the faster I went the more impressive it got. Also incredible amounts of grip and for a 1.8 felt more than powerful enough, certainly no need for any more power in my view. Sounded fantastic as well.

Interesting that you like the gearbox as most reviews say it is still a bit notchy & not as slick as say a MX5 or Civic Type R. Renault have struck a great balance between the great fun but over the top & fussy boy racer styling of the Type R & the best daily driver and most sensible & predictable choice but ultimately bland & boring Golf R !.

Hi Ped, nice review. I've tested one of these recently, it drives really well and makes a fabulous noise. For those listening that don't know this car has no adaptive dampers so comfort mode changes nothing in the suspension. One thing I didn't get time to test is the R-Link2 system, does it give traffic reports reliably? How does the satnav, apple car play/android auto work? It's rare anybody talks about this but for it to be a daily it's important, sad to say because the older RS R-Link was pants. Looking at the Renault RS owners forum there are a lot of complaints that the new system doesn't work well and Renault charge £55 per map update, four times a year! Driving though it's fantastic.

Is the cabin sound augmented? It sounds a little fake and puts me off quite a lot. Can you really heel and toe at high revs hard braking or is the ecu programmed for brake throttle override? Is the steering hydraulic or epas? That keyless go and huge key are enough for me to look elsewhere, awful system. Shame as car is 90% there, if it had a longer top gear and you could turn the fake noise off and have a proper key I would be interested. This is why good reviews are so essential Great work as usual 😎 ps EVO just rated the non trophy RS higher than the trophy as they said trophy suspension too hard. Another problem with most cars I try.

EPAS with the ability to change the steering "weight" from Comfort, Sport and Race. The augmented sound can be switched off completely. Keyless entry can also be switched off in the menu settings, and not something that has to be done by the dealer (eg another competitor manufacturer with a blue oval). Top gear, I personally didnt notice any specific droan whilst driving a long distance journey. Can always put the exhaust into comfort or natural to quiten it down on long journeys.

Your grin pretty much said it all and I used to run a FiSTer so I do know how good a well sorted hatch can be..! Whilst 5 days is a long time to have a press car so you can give it a 'fun' score, can you add a 'to live with' score? The interior seems to have been where they saved the cash. The noise of the centre rest sliding back and forth was horrible and cheap. And I bet after 20k miles it will be rattling and squeaking like a cage of gerbils. Is it fair to compare ownership with the german cars? Sure it is as much fun to drive, but their build quality and touch points are on another level.

No mine is £300 quid a month on interest free .Which makes civic £150 a month (on same deposit )dearer unfortunately .I do like civics larger boot tho it’s not worth 50% more .

How does it compare to the previous gen? Does the 4 wheel steer take some getting used to? I have the previous gen and I love going out for a blast in it!
@PetrolPed5 жыл бұрын
4 wheel steer just helps cornering, you don't really feel it working. You just go round corners SO well 😜

@17:20 you said you the car locks itself when you are washing it etc. You were mistaken here, I have one of these. Just press unlock once and the car won't auto lock again until the next time you start the engine. Just need to read the manual bro ;)

Well you liked that one Peter and I can see why! How do you think it would compare with a Mercedes A35 AMG? That would be an interesting test and maybe they are more alike than could be thought...engine??? 🤨 Nice to see the Goodwood roads empty...Happy driving guaranteed this week then and with Italy...not a bad time!!!😀😀😀😀

I've only driven the A35 for a few laps around Goodwood. Felt a bit sterile to me. The Megane certainly doesn't feel like that 👍

Great review! I've noticed in certain shots that the red accents on the wheels aren't there. It looks much better without the red. Are they modified or are they an option from Renault?
@mrwylli5 жыл бұрын
Trophy version comes with those wheels by default, sadly the only option is the light wheels which do not look very good for my taste and they are very expensive. Much nicer wheels in the non-trophy version.

Red accents are from factory 👍

The red stripes are offset with black, so not that obvious to spot from the side, like in 2:50, but perfectly well face-on: 4:30
