Age old. R26 Vs Normal 225

Discussion in 'Megane Discussion' started by imprezaworks, Aug 4, 2019.

  1. Been looking about for a car to buy for what feels like 10 years, it's been on and off 8 months :/.

    For normal road use and maybe a trackday here and there what are your thoughts

    R26 circa 6k
    225 cup or similar circa 4k.
     
  2. A 225 is fine, loved mine, if you are going to fit coilovers then i can't see any difference.
    when the 265 goes i will be in the market for a 225 or R26, 265 is a great car on the road but i think the 225/R26 is better on track.
    My personal thoughts :laughing::laughing:
     
  3. There is a r26 I'm keen on, needs belts and a but of paint. But it's 5500 ISH.

    Seen a few 225 cups obviously quite a bit less.
     
  4. to be honest i would go for the 225 and put some mods on it :laughing::laughing::laughing:
     
  5. I paid £1k for my 225 lol.

    It all depends on what's important to you really. Do you care about how it looks or how it drives?

    Mine is a dog, but if I spend a few grand on it it'll be pretty capable for track use which is all I care about!
     
  6. To be honest, I just want a looked after car lol.

    I did own a 225 trophy albeit it was an okay example. I should have spent more time with it but my love for the clios was still strong ha ha

    R26 would be the better choice, they will hold there money better compared to a 225

    No that makes sense. You're done with clios now? I am at last!
     
  11. few and far between now..mine isnt a daily,and is only used once and a while,
    but still has 50k on it...

    Same here, I looked at 3 ff200 clios but all had issues. Now have a Ly r26 on 76k miles, very happy with it.

  16. Looks tidy mate. I'm not anywhere near on the forum as much as I used to be. Partly because I'm busy and have no car to speak of.

    Maybe a decent Mégane will pop up soon. This time around I'm finding getting a replacement to the RB hard bloody work..
