Not bad things like, my mate has an 05 Trophy model he uses only as a weekend car. Cat back Mongose, some turbo mod thing they all do to them, panel filter and he was tempted to put an RS Tuner remap on it if he keeps it. It doesnt feel particularly fast, with it being a new car and having smooth power delivery, but you can watch the speedo keep pulling round. However it will be up for sale very very soon as I have him persuaded to buy a Cossie as a toy

They handle quite well as long as you ditch the original DunFlop(?) tyres, they are abysmal.

My mate has an 08 megane sport lux with the cup pack, goes very well and does handle as well, He has had a few problems with it, nothing major though central locking, abs fault + a coil. Looks smart in black too.
