Renault Megane R26.R (2009-) Review

Category: Hot Hatchbacks 4 out of 5

Summary of the Renault Megane R26.R (2009-)

Price Range: No data available

Assets

Sublime handling, incredible grip, bargain pricetag.

Drawbacks

Poor practicality for a hatchback, lack of radio and soundproofing make Megane tiring over long distances.

Verdict

Raw and uncompromised R26.R will be too much for most. Shame, because it's one of the finest hot hatches to have ever turned a wheel in anger.

Used Value5 out of 5

The rest of the Megane range returns between 34-43% of the original money paid for it three years and 36,000 miles down the line, but we expect the R26.R to far outperform the rest of the range.

Only 450 will be made ensuring the R26.R will enjoy a cult following. This, we think, will protect its resale value.
