i drive a megane sport trophy at the moment, and at 70mph it is around 2,500rpm in 6th... but then because it is a turbo there is no need to drop a gear. I would imagine the VRS Fab to be like that too, especially seeing as it's a diesel. I looked at and test drove the new punto sporting, but it's like driving a ford transit, way way way toooo noisey for me. I liked the ST's engine note and exhaust note when driving, but at motorway cruising speed was a little too loud, but like i said, i don't do much motorway driving, so this wouldn't stop me from getting one if i could find a good deal.... my megane manages 40mpg on the motorway between 60 and 70, which tbh, is great for the engine and car... its just knocking around when it's constantly on boost it drinks it!!!!!
