It is a great allrounder, if not the best in it's class.

All in one package containing:
Super performance.
Super comfort ( non cup chassis, maybe the cup chassis will do as well ). Suspension with hydraulic bump stops comes straight out of the rallye scene.
Manual or Auto, both are good.
Super cool looks.
Super fun.
All other cars in this price category lack two or more of the above mentioned.
Golf GTI / R , looks, fun .... Good but not super.
Civic type R, comfort, only manual, looks are not for everyone.
Hyundai i30 N, comfort none, looks are simple, only manual.
Focus RS comes closest.
Seat Cupra also misses some of the above, but veeeeery fast.
Or you could spend the same amount of money on:
BMW 120i Mpack
BMW 318i
Audi A3
Mercedes A class
All with an engine of max 200 hp, suspension not really comfy and nothing sporty compared with the hot hatches. Mind you i find this Megane RS far more comfortable than my late BMW 120d.
Looks are no match as well.
fun ??? .. hmmmmm NOT.
Performance? Brakes , suspension, power, handling, feel .... Not in a million years
.
My wife told me to buy a Golf GTi with 230 hp , i told her it was soooo much more expensive ;-).
But now she is very happy with the Megane, always listen to the Bim ;-).
