"Renault? Are you serious?" a typical Malaysian asks. Renault is not a popular marque in Malaysia but will it change? Today, we will talk about the last Renault Mégane RS which was launched just a few months back. And that is the perfect answer to the question.
The previous Mégane RS was sold in Malaysia for RM235,000, which was to compete with the Volkswagen Golf GTI. However, the sales wasn't very successful as it didn't market well here. The latest Mégane RS is another insanely quick machine around.
With its 6 sec to 100km/h and a top speed of 250km/h from its 250 bhp, the Golf GTI is no match. Fitted with Recaro Sports Seats with side airbags, Brembo brakes, and a 6-speed manual transmisson, this car is no doubt the hottest hatch in town. It is only priced below RM230k... and for those features, it is definitely a good buy. Quickly get one of these now if you are planning to get a hot hatch!
Summary
A car not built for everyone, but for you.
