Oh, how nice it would be to lower the roof. If the car is a goner anyway, then why not have some fun?

As for the Megane Coupe, I checked that is has Cd=0.33 and frontal area only 1.9m2 (as opposed to my 307sw's 2.55m2). Iirc the ZX's FA is closer to mine and has Cd=0.36, so getting the Coupe would score you a lot, especially if you don't need a big car. You could also look for the convertible version and make a custom aero hardtop, as proposed here.

Much more than we would like, but that's the price we pay for being better than the rest
