Exactly the sort of used car review I have been looking for. Others should follow this example. Thanks

That’s Less than depreciation on most new cars and way more fun.

Ive owned a Megane Mk3 GT RenaultSport Estate 160 2.0 dci ( Not a GT Line) from 75k to 133k miles and it was fautless. Just brakes and 2 snapped springs was replaced . Great fun work horse 👍

Great cars so much fun. Had my megane 275 just over 2 years haven't been as much on cost over that period but the car just had the cambelt done at four ashes 2 months previous to me getting it. I well maintained can't see high mileage been a issue with these cars. Good video on cost info for a new buyer.

Best fast car out there reliable

I've got a RS250 2011 Sport. Bought as a cat D about 8 years ago. Love the thing 84000 miles. Body and interior are a bit tatty but mechanically it's mint. I met a guy, an amateur car enthusiast and he does all the work on it. He rags me about my lack of attention to having it valeted and cleaned but he knows every bush, drop link, mount, everything mechanical that has been done and he'd take it off me in a heart beat. Change it???? Sometimes I have a thought but then the reality of how much I'd have to spend to get the same kind of drive kicks in. She is unmolested, never been tracked and barely does 4000miles a year. Love this car and will probably keep it until the government bans petrol.

Loving the Meg videos

my car in life......................THE BEST FRENCH HOT HATCH.............for ever. merci pour la vidéo mon ami.

Great to hear what you cost up over ownership.

Great vid! Putting me off getting one now, though! 😢

Remember the key cost to owning a car is nearly always depreciation and yet I don’t think my RS250 has lost anything in the past 2 years! More on that during next weeks video when I look at annual ownership costs across the garage whilst taking into account the effects of depreciation/appreciation.

@@FastandFun any good resources for info on the 250?

That's not bad considering you've used it as a hobby car too, take off the money you only spent to track it and repair it and you won't have to pay out much next year.

Agreed - I’m expect (hoping) next year will be a cheaper year 👍🏻

My Clio 200 is about the same. 2k a year to run. Although I probably shouldn't count the LSD

What about the inside? Squeaks? Wear and tear?

There’s some light wear (small hole) on the drivers seat bolster (yellow dot Recaro’s renowned for it!) but otherwise there’s few wear ‘n’ tear marks and no squeaks at all.

@@csllover Alex’s modified Meg is off the road at the minute (although he was out in it last weekend in the snow 🤣!). The plan is to meet early in the new year and for Alex to bring his yellow Megane up and for me to do a review with full audio this time! Tbf the weather last time was horrendous (met office flood warning!) so we need to pick a good weekend early in the new year and do his car justice 👍🏻

I’ve had mines since June last year, 82k miles replaces the timing belt, water pump, dephaser etc (£700), injectors (£300), 2 tyres (£230) now needing 2 track rod ends😂

Got to it add this - tyres from Costco! Did you read the manufacturing date on the side wall? That's why they sell them sooooo cheap.

Ripped off. ARB's can be done without dropping the subframe. Just modify a spanner or two.

You only changed ONE spring! Do both sides.

Why did a rear pad drop out? I don't know what your day job is mate but your not a Meg man.

So you don’t like the video, insult me and say I’m not a “Meg man” because my rear pad dropped out and then ask me a question? 😂😂 It dropped out because I was on track with traction control still on which allows the car to still use ABS and as a result rear brakes working overtime cooked the rear pad which delaminated from the backing plate! I hope that better informs you 👍🏻
