Renault’s Megane Cup

 Say Hi to the new Megane with its new dynamic look and that 2L turbo motor
under the hood, the hatch really looks great and reminds me so much of a Opel OPC from
the rear end. The car has a 184kW and 340Nm from its two-litre, four-cylinder turbo engine, 15kW and 30Nm more than the previous R26. It weighs 1387kg. The Megane rides on 19" rims with Continental CSC5 rubber and consequently grip. Limited-slip differential operates, geared to avoid affecting low-speed agility, still ensuring the Cup delivers full-throttle performance with no trace of torque steer. It is a nice looking car with a powerful motor but, are you willing to pay R399 900, in that price range is also the Audi S3, Ford Focus RS, BMW 135i.
