OVERVIEW

This Megane Sport has been owned by its current owner for 1.5 years and has ~190k kms on the dash. The current owner added about 21k kms since purchasing it. The main focus was restoring and upgrading it mechanically with a few body mods. The owner reports no overheating issues and a cold AC. Moreover, the owner has laid the ground work to start adding performance bolt-ons (intercooler, exhaust, tuning, etc).

“There’s a precision to the Megane’s behaviour that runs through every dynamic aspect of its chassis. The ride is stiff and controlled yet never crashy, while the steering is well weighted and positive. Turn the wheel and the reaction at ground level is instant and sharp, and although the final notch of detail is missing from the steering’s feedback, it’s rarely distracted by bumps and cambers, even when giving it full beans at low speed…its responses are crisp and it’s a perfect match for the composure of the chassis, making for a seriously quick and exploitable hot hatch…There’s an honesty to the Renaultsport Megane.” – Roger Green, Evo Magazine

GOOD TO KNOW

Full details on this vehicle’s condition and issues can be found in the Inspection Report.

Message from the owner regarding the check engine light and door mirrors folding switch as described in the Inspection Report:

“The car is currently showing a check engine light due to the catless downpipe (a common thing with Japenese spec Meganes); the plan was to get the car tuned but I never got the time to do this. This issue can be resolved once a map tune is done (example: through Ktec’s remote tuning) or by adding a spacer to the O2 sensor. I will also be supplying the original downpipe with the car, should the new owner choose to revert to stock (doing so will get rid of the check engine message).”

“They (door mirrors) do fold, however, Renault unfortunately wired the new side mirror switch I supplied them incorrectly. If you press down the mirror button instead of rotating it, the mirrors fold in and out. I never got the time to visit Renault and get this fixed (at their expense).”
