Yep its Turbo!


Stand and deliver: Renault's next generation turbo Megane 225 wil mix it with the Subaru WRX while the Clio Sport 182 will go head to head with Euro-hotties like the Peugeot 206 GTi and BMW's 1 Series.

Clio looks alreight, but not too fond of the Megane.

But at those prices, there are much better options.

ohh yeah..... for those prices i could turbo my car and make it quicker than both of them....

i think the cars are too square.... square cars remind me of the old 1980's commodores... the VB's, VH's and the VK's

Old mans swift looks better than that :!:

Against most peoples opinions...I do like the sharp rear lines of the Megane. A few cars recently have taken a while to grow on me and this is one of them.
