I've never driven either, but for some reason I'd take the Megane every time!

If the build quality is the same on the 225 as it is on the more basic models I'd personally stay clear of the megane, I know a good few people have problems with them. The Honda's though are totally the opposite, I know a few people who have had them and they have been faultless.

Question is can you get a tidy example of either car for 4K, I'm not sure on the prices of the meganes but most Ctr's I see around the 4k mark arent ones that I'd be looking at

Don't confuse an R26R (pictured above) with a 225 Sport - they are VERY different cars! LOL

I have a basic model and it's by far the most reliable car I've ever owned. In nearly 3 years it's only ever had a cam sensor go, cost about £25 iirc.

R26 over a CTR if you want a faster more capable car. CTR if you want some noise and an *k plus Rev limit.
I went out in CUJ's old R26 and while it was a quick car it seemed a little dull on the noise front. Nothing that can't be sorted with a decent Zorst I guess?? Having said that you'll never get the induction noise on a FI car that you will on a NA one.

Been caught by a few Meganes on track days( they are Fing quick if driven well, but looks are an aquired taste), only ever seem to come up behind Hondas though.

The Megane has sticky trackday tyres tho so not really a fair comparison IMO. Although I'd much rather have that Megane over the Focus any day of the week. The Focus looks like a right ole barge! LOL
