Having driven an R26 for an extended period and seriously considered buying one and having a few good drives in a Mk5 GTi and a VXR I ended up not buying one and sticking with a 306... They're OK etc but found them a bit dull to drive unless you were flat out doing way in excess of the speed limit...
Horses for courses!!
I think you've hit the nail on the head there. Megane is a very nice car, VXR i don't like because its a vauxhall and i just hate vauxhalls!
But the thing that makes the 306 so good is you can thrash the tits off of it, bang it into corners and you're never really going stupid speeds. This is my issue with things like most modern hot hatches, scoobies etc...Yeah, they are great fun but you have to be doing silly speeds to have that fun.
