Hi all, picked up my champ white FK2 in Wednesday and I absolutely love it.

I have always had Renaultsports before this (still have a track slag 197 which is my baby) but after having my first child we needed a 5 door and this was what the Mrs loved more than me. I wanted a focus rs but the boot is smaller than a fiesta (fact). So we went for this lovely 2015 20k miles 1 owner car. Private sale from Canterbury and brought it all the way back to Manchester!

Few questions....does the car not auto lock when driving?

What engine oil does it take?

Thanks and a few pics of my old megane (red) and some of the new R.

I didn’t think it was going be as quick as it is!!

Welcome to the forum!
How's the ride? I've heard it's pretty hard going on the FK2. But then I guess that's going to depend on what you're used to :)

Hi - do you live in Tameside? Got a 66 plate FK2 in Championship White as well, picked her up a few weeks back so similar ownership length. Don't see many on thr road but came across a Championship White FK2 parked on Snipe Retail park a couple of weeks back, wondering if this was yours!

The ride is fine when not in R mode. I use mine for a daily London commute from Bedfordshire and find it perfectly comfortable.

I so much prefer this one to the new one and also have championship white which despite the perfect match plastic to metal is the best colour.
