The Renaultsport Megane 265 is Renault's answer to the Ford Focus RS, Volkswagen Golf GTI and SEAT Leon Cupra R hot hatches. The car that preceded it, the Megane R26.R, was a stripped-out hot hatchback with sharp handling which was extremely uncomfortable to drive on the road. However, the latest version manages to equal that car's performance, but be comfortable to use on a daily basis. The standard 265 model is built with everyday usability in mind, while the cheaper Cup model is more track-focused version, gaining parts to improve cornering ability in exchange for several luxury items. Confusingly, you can add the Cup parts to the standard car as an option.
