Not my first post, as I've already posted for and received advice in a couple of the other forums, but as of April I'm an RS265 owner and (mostly) loving it. I've been a hot hatch person for years, starting with a diesel Leon Cupra and Mk1 Fabia vRS, a couple of Clios (a leggy as f**k 172 and a much nicer 182 about 2 months later), a Civic Type R, and most recently a Fiesta ST that someone kindly took off my driveway to improve the visibility from my front door to the road. So having hovered around the 200bhp mark for my last 6 cars I decided it was time for something with a little bit more and picked up a black 12 plate RS265 full fat with Cup pack (I think that's the right terminology; I have Bluetooth, AC, keyless start, LSD, and as far as I'm aware the Cup suspension) plus the optional 19" wheels, satnav and leather Recaros. As far as I know it's all standard but even with the recent car theft I managed to find affordable insurance that covers modifications at no extra cost so I could see a basic remap in the near future... I realise these threads usually come with pictures but I've got all the way to the end of the post and realised that the only pictures I have on my phone are various dashboard warning lights so I'll have to do that part later!
Thankfully I'm in the habit of "double-locking" from the Fiesta which turns off the keyless entry on the Megane, and I've invested a whole fiver in an RF-blocking pouch to chuck the keycard into at night. So short of doing the physical security side (which I don't really want to do) I think I've done what I can on that front. I wasn't a fan of getting keyless again, but other than that the car seemed pretty perfect. As for issues, there was a brief period where it had cost me more than double in pounds than miles I'd put on it, but a trip from Nottingham to the coast sorted that out and hopefully we've reached a mutual understanding where I'll give it all the maintenance and upkeep it deserves (with the help of Diamond Motors), and it won't suddenly crap out on me again.
