Got to say i had basically bought the rs looks wise before id even bought it, i personally love the rear vallance too the rear view is really hardcore with the big spoiler vallance wide arches and massivse pipes.
The ford garage where i bought the rs had a golf r they were trying to get shot of and knocked 3k of the price for me, it was still more expensive than the rs only about a grand though and i really liked that i was so tempted took it for a spin it was rapid ( found out it had been mapped ) bluefin unit in the glove box. I know though if id bought it i would of had the rs in a year or so anyway as id wanted one since id first seen it, also ive never had a new car before so that sort of swayed me !
The RSes are pretty common but i like that, it usually means better tuning products saying that though there are less FRSes than megane renaultsports according to the production numbers there were 11000 rses world wide and 500 of theses were rs 500s compared to nearly double that of the mk3 megane varients and counting as i believe they are still in production until 2013
I thought the ring lap on the 265 was pretty impressive a lot of tyre squeel though and not much engine noise !
Id love to see propper lap round there with sorted 2+ golf r, s3, rocco r cupra or eddy - hurdys lap was impressive ( i think its the fastest 2.0tfsi lap of the ring ive seen) but traffic is always going to slow you down !
RS lap - this is the fastest modern day fwd car ive seen on oem engine turbo set up, that has not been stripped anyway,
