Renault Megane Coupe R.S. 250 PS Test Drive / Probefahrt (see discription)

Vids & pics of a Renault Megane Coupe R.S. during a test drive in Germany. Incl. engine sound and acceleration on autobahn (slightly uphill).

Please don't post comments like "this car is too young to push it like that". It's a test car, it's just made to test the car in all matters.

Positives:
- Power an torque
- Exhaust sound
- Race suspension
- Differential lock
- Good looking
- Fine, functional interior
- Good sport seats
- Affordable (~ 35.000 EUR)
- Quite low fuel consumption compared to power (8.3 l / 100 km)
- Surprisingly big trunk

Negatives:
- Notchy gearbox
- Really bad soundsystem
- DRL's could be brighter (like in newer Audi's)
- Stock wheels should go a bit more (1 - 2 inch) to the outside of the wheel arch
- "Beeps", if optimal moment to shift up is reached - nice thought, but might become annoying over a longer time

As you can see in the title, this car ist not mine. Though I might afford it in 2011.

The girl in the pics does NOT come with the car btw - she's property of me ;)

Hey dude, is this the liquid yellow paint job colour? ... And is it metallic etc?

Some of the yellow megane rs 250's on youtube look really washed out and horrible, this is much more vibrant and nice. Just trying to find out which particular yellow this is?

@YummiestOrphan

Thats the regular "Kyalami"-yellow. It's not metallic. So this should actually be the "washed-out" paintjob you're talking about.

The other yellow you refered to is "Sirius"-yellow, metallic and shown in most of the car-shows like IAA. I don't know about other countries, but for example in Germany it's not available (yet), but I heard of rumors that it might become available in the future.

@Abzug0386 Thanks for the quick reply. Im atm in the middle of buying this car here in the UK, although we only have a yellow called 'Liquid Yellow' - thats through the website. Although in the car dealership they have 2 different sample pieces to choose from, but you cant see them on the car and I dont want to get a yellow Im not pleased with. The yellow in THIS video of yours looks amazing and want to get the same colour but looks as if I cant in the UK. Some videos dont look that good.

@YummiestOrphan

I just took a look at the UK-Site auf Renault(sport). It's got the same colour possibilities as here in Germany, but with other names, the Kyalami-yellow in this video is called "Sport-Yellow" in UK. Thats the same, pretty washed out colour. Don't know what "Liquid Yellow" is though.... But I assure you, the yellow in my video is pretty unspectacular and washed out in real, just search google for Kyalami yellow megane and then for Sirius Yello as well. Big difference.

[YummiestOrphan]

@Abzug0386 Ahh right thanks for clearing that up, would you suggest avoiding the "Sport Yellow" then? .. I had a google and there is a big difference, I could of sworn the Liquid Yellow was available on the 250 model in the UK, but it appears its only available on the 265 trophy edition after just checking the website again. Do you reckon the liquid yellow is the UK name for sirius yellow?

[Abzug0386]

@YummiestOrphan

After taking a closer look to some british articles about the Trophy, it appears that "Liquid Yellow" is actually that "Sirius Yellow". So if you really wanna have that, you could either try to get a Megane Trophy or buy a standard Megane in a standard, 0 GBP colour and try to foil/paint it in the colour you want. Or consider to buy some totally different car, like Scirocco R, Leon Cupra R, used Focus RS, used Nissan 350Z or something like that :)

@Stickymicky25

Well since I haven't heard the exhaust note of the Focus RS by myself in real-life, I can't judge about it. Maybe you didn't either, so you should try that in real life. But hey, wouldn't it be a pity if the 5-cylinder 2.5 litre engine of the Ford sounds worse than the 4-cylinder 2.0 litre engine of the Renault....?

@drbelli

Probefahrt = Testdrive :)

[Abzug0386]

@drbelli

Why?

[drbelli]

Probefahrt sounds like a dangerous and painful procedure...
