Doesn't look like this had the timing chain done.... but still intriguing I dint realize they had 263 HP & 280 lb/ft..... bet the thing is fun AF.... and its the loaded Grand TOuring edition..... if it had half the miles, a cross continental flight might have been in my future....

I think of torque steer a bit like turbo lag......it lets you know you bought something fun.

I’d have to do a bit of research but in my recollection that motor doesn’t reach 6 figures. Also these cars are really small inside, smaller than a mk6 by quite a bit

Have some few :plac: thoughts to upgrade from the Clio, but definitely not anytime soon. No complaints, other than to upsize. Using a Greek website instead of turkish since it tends to get borked. Google chrome translates :doe:

Megane hatch, either 1.5 diesel or the same engine as my clio (1.3t gas engine).
https://www.car.gr/classifieds/cars/vie ... ult-megane

The diesel (1.5t to be exact), a bit of a downgrade from Clio in terms of 0-100. There's also a 2 liter version as well, but being not potentially a great seller in Turkey since taxes on the 2 liters and up are atrocious, they're quite rare and also way too expensive.
https://www.car.gr/classifieds/cars/vie ... eugeot-508

The gas version, 1.6t with 180 hp (which is quite a lot for Turkey). 0-100 7.9 seconds. Don't like the wheels on this particular one doe.

They're still the same size as the clio for interior space and they're dangerously slow, 11.5 0-60 at best

Me too. Still a very good contender and reasonably priced than the rest of the competition.

I promised myself if I get a car for Turkey, it has to be something thats not sold in the US.

Yea that’s a solid idea. I really liked the Megane Rs 260. But I’m assuming you don’t want something that expensive

This thing is awesome, but looks like it'll go stratospheric due to rarity and nothing more. Ridiculous.
