Not wanting to hijack your thread, but I viewed a black R26 at Motorhouse in Birmingham, around 4 weeks ago. After fighting my way through to the back of the "showroom", I finally found it. They hadn't even bothered to valet it, even though they had two days notice of my arrival. Cigarette burn on the passenger (Alcantara) seat too. Plus 3 of the 4 tyres were completely flat, with missing valve caps. Did have a full R26R sticker kit though, even if it wasn't a genuine lightweight "R".
My Son has a RenaultSport 225, a rapid machine and no doubt about it, which got me on the trail of the R26. Not gone off the idea yet........

The first 4 posts are dated 2014 (on my phone anyway), I didn't realise it was a 12 month old thread!! ��. Still like the R26 though!

Ok, read #5. Original poster updating us, so the thread is current. I really need to lay off the Apple Jim Beam.

Yeah I read a lot of reviews and the 225 was tempting but had a couple of negatives about seat position and understeer, then I found the r26 and the reviews are great, I came very close to buying but backed off it in the end. Now my situation has changed, I have a really good job which pays me well so I'm saving for a house which means I'll be keeping the zed for at least another 18 months. Then after the house I'll be able to spend around 15 to 20k on the next car so I'm looking at 3 options. Porsche cayman s, audi tt rs, bmw z4 35i. All have their own qualities, the porsche would be getting on a bit which is the only thing that puts me off slightly.
