Description

If you are lucky enough to be familiar with the Megane RS line of hot hatches you know they just keep getting better. Among its brethren, they have been known for plenty of front-wheel-drive powered fun, and the chassis and suspension stability to put that power to good use. Among the competition, many Europeans (Renault cars are not sold in the U.S.) would argue the Megane R.S. is the best when compared to cars like the Honda Civic Type-R or Ford Focus RS. Whether you agree or not, it’s undoubtedly in the same class as these heraldic hot hatches. That alone should make it worth a drive.
