#Renault megane 2020 manual#

With just two pedals, you can brake with your left foot if you're feeling racy and have an absolute blast. Riding through twisty sections in this car is a real delight. Surprisingly, it does all of this with a torsion beam rear rather than a heavier, more expensive multi-link setup. It helps smooth out the edges of an extremely sporty car and makes it livable for everyone else.

Like its little brother, the Megane's suspension is equipped with hydraulic bumpers, which means that instead of thumping when the suspension runs out of travel, you'll get a softer landing. The suspension on the Cup is stiffer, but it's not the same as the Clio Cup - I find this car too stiff for regular use, but the Megane feels a bit friendlier. Combined with the proper limited slip differential, you can turn on the power very early and brake much later than in a standard car. The fine aluminum switches are pleasant to the touch and the whole thing is really very nice. In the RS, the gears are a little closer together, so the gaps are tight and you can really work with the gearbox. In Race mode, ultra-fast gear shifts soften the impact of the low redline. While the management isn't bad enough to make it the 'wrong' choice, EDC is the better choice. Time answered the question in the affirmative. Now that a very advanced EDC is available, I realized that the Cup could be a better car - despite the 23kg weight reduction - with the EDC. But the cast is a bit long and the action borders on non-cooperation - give me a smooth Civic Type R change any day.

While the previous car's manual transmission (the only transmission) wasn't great, the rest of the experience more than made up for it. But I also drove a stock car with EDC and realized a couple of things. I first drove the cup version of this generation last year as a manual transmission.
