The other is a 1500kg luxury sports car. They're both great cars in their own right but as always it's a case of "horses for courses".

That is pretty damn amazing to be able to buy straight off the showroom! What kind of markup over the standard Megane was it? I had the pleasure of driving a Megane RS265 around the Nurburgring a few years back and it was a fabulous car. I was surprised at how well it rotated for a FWD car and the overall grip and behavior of the LSD etc. Great fun. |
It was $65k Aus$, my M2 was $85k Aus$ & performance wise the Megane absolutely shits on it. Don't get me wrong the M2 is a lovely road car & the CS even more so but it's never going to compete with a purpose built car such as the 275-R or a Lotus Exige or a Gt3 etc.
