5 things I HATE about Megane RS 300 (facelift) 

I have diesel Renault Megane 4 and I think that those music controls behind the steering wheel are the best thing in industry 😄 I understand that they can get in a way with shifting pedals, but in a normal Megane it's amazing that they are in the same spot every time you want to change music/radio station/etc.

I hope your channel grows, you make great points and know what you’re talking about 👍

I get the tone control thing. I had that issue as well, but noticed that renault allows you to have different tone control settings for each separate drive mode. Hence, I found that setting your desired tone control in another mode and switching back to "my sense" gets you the tone controls you actually set. So basically every time you turn on the car, it's as if the infotainment is being started up for it's first time, but switching drive modes, which differ in tone controls, reminds the infotainment of your settings. Took me like a week to get that, because I increased the high end in sport mode.

Enjoyed this Mick and recognise many of the points you make. I've had a massive range of cars (I'm old but tend to hold on to them) and the ride height really plays a big part. I'm currently running an MX5 ND 30th AE and I've never sat so low in my life!! I swear I looked up to the driver in an Aston DBS Superleggera (sp?). Gearchange, for me my Honda Integra Type R was right up there but so was the bread van EP3 Type R I had. I was pleasantly surprised by the MX5 gear change and despite trying BMW manuals I ended up with a ZF8 M135i and DCT M2C because I did not likely the 'rubbery' feel of the manuals. As for the Meganes, I see the front end of these cars and I'm hooked! I did own one of the very first Clio 16Vs that came into the UK and have never forgot how much fun that was (well apart from the routine clutch cable failure). Cheers, Kevin

Great video manual alday long for me 😁👍

Have a CUP 280 and had to remove those tyres as they were horrid. Put some Coninental ContactSport 7's and an immediate difference, just immense. Also, thankfully I have the Manual which is excellent, absolutly no issues, very snickity!

I had Bridgestone potenza's on my Abarth Punto and they were horrific in the rain. I now have michelin Pilot sport 4's and they are amazing!

Hello! Can anyone tell me if the car remembers your driving mode on the next startup? If not, how convenient is it to change it? I plan on driving my car in sport mode for stiffer steering feel (it's not an RS car) so changing it evry time would be a nightmare, i guess. Also how good is bose stereo compared to the stock one?

I'm driving 300 trophy facelift and got Continental Contact Sport tires as from the factory (German market) and no problem with traction, but think it is more due to LSD than tires. So LSD is must, but unfortunately comes only with trophy so as the recaros which are going much lower (mine are tilted up a bit). On the other hand, ride is a bit harsh (I'm already used to it) but thoughts before purchase were that there is always an option of replacing dampers and coilovers with sport version if it comes to back pain...price for that was 750 euros on all four corners last time I was checking...

If that audio control is cost savings, then it is the best cost savings ever invented!

life110 is a company that makes aftermarket parts for the alpine a110, and they offer some paddleshifters that are 10mm closer to the wheel and 20mm longer top and bottom. They say they fit the clio rs as well, so I think they should fit the megane too? Beeing 10mm closer to the wheel I think they sould clear the volume controls too. I know alpine a110 and clio rs use different volume control units so you might have to make some mesurements in terms of the clearence

I have an RS 280 in manual and it's like a winchester rifle between gears it gives a little click, could be as its a low mileage box? As i've also heard they are pretty average manual boxes for the type of car it is. I'll check back in 10k miles and see if anything changed.

Can you retrofit longer paddles on these?

Don't worry. I hate the 001 as well. And I don't live in the UK. Immediately changed for the ps4s. They're MUCH better.

you mention the Bose system but are you sure your car has them? I don't see the Bose logo on the speakers. I have a facelift '22 Trophy myself but I heard that the Bose was supposed to be standard but wasn't fitted due to the supply issues. You can check your subwoofer in the trunk to see if you have Bose.

If that's all you have to worry about you have nothing to worry about

Glad you didn't talk about the car being so stiff its uncomfortable. and the tires, @VersionOneUK said something about the S007s being way better, so do check em out. And, is your RS300 the Trophy model?

The paddles are okay. You just need to get used to it

The manual 300 is fine - it's the same as the meg 275. If you want the lower seats, you should have got the recurs

#hate5 there was an easylink update partially fixing that, also you can just change driving mode and changes will be applied

You forgot 2 main problems that can drive you crazy The window buttons are too far back It amazing that they thought its ok 2.why the car stage always goes nack to sense and dont stay in the one you used last time?

I'm in Australia I have a manual an its fine2019 rs300

the tone controlls is a bug renault admited i think

bridgestone is in the same category as pirelli p zero, useless below 10C, dangerous below 3C, and OKish at 20+, not worth the money...

torqsteer?

Tires that don't work in wet conditions? Ship them with cars sold in UK! Nice bit of French humor from Renault.

Some things I don't like about it: The cost. Far too high for me. Renault's track record for iffy reliability, build quality, longevity. No heated leather seats. Dashboard / cockpit area - unergonomic. Compared to - for example - Saab 900's from the 1980's. Seats. Not as comfortable as Volvo, or Saab (when they were in their prime). Fuel economy, not so good. Not that big inside. Only seats 5. Front wheel drive. Interior is plasticky. Insurance cost.

Just put ps on it and you’ll be all right

Nice review but its a bit useless, you cannot buy this car anymore here in europe, those stupid carmakers stopped making hothatches. They only sell stupid suv's

This guy 🤦‍♂️
