I just bought my Megane 2 weeks ago second hand and have broken down twice already! The first time was due to it needing new coils. The second time was due to a fuse (something to do with the fuel I think). I have lost a lot of faith in it and don't actually feel all that safe driving it now as it skidded when I went round a corner recently (in dry weather) and driving it in the rain feels as though I'm rallying! I am a very confident driver but am actually starting to be quite scared when... (read more)

Id just had a baby and needed something that felt safe to take her out and about in. I love the inside and felt very safe but mechanically this car has been nothing but trouble to me since the start. It was only just over 2 and a half years old and I started to have trouble with the gearbox, took it to a renault dealer as it was still under warranty, they changed something and had it for a week (very inconvenient) and gave ma a £900 bill at the end when I went to get it!! Wasnt under... (read more)

I have one and I love it. Unfortunatly the previous owner replaced the catylitic coverter, with the wrong one, and I now need to pay for a new one, 800 pounds including labour. The really bad part is that I took it in to Renault 3 months ago and I still don't have it back, they just can't get the part!!! They are however paying for a hire car, wich helps I guess but this is not acceptable service!! Just don't know what to do... (read more)

I cant fault the Renault Megane. Bought second hand so now just 3 years old.
Feels like a real grown up car. I have an Audi A4 2.0Tdi. To compare these to each other you may feel is unfair but i assure you it isnt.
The Megane feels just as sturdy. Feels as luxurious with soft feel buttons and short stubby control arms for light, indicators, etc. The only thing i miss is cruise control!!!!
The megane has all the trimmings, double sunroof, keyless entry/ignition, aircon, auto lights, auto...

My 05 Megane 1.6 Dynamique is comfortable,economical and safe. I have always loved the styling. A basic interest in auto-electrics is a must when you own one of these cars.You never can tell when the next electrical fault will happen!.I have endured a broken window motor,a faulty camshaft sensor,a failed coil,a complete failiure of the air-con system,an airbag sensor constantly flickering,a front indicator that works when it feels like it and a few more that I have no-doubt forgotten about...

Don't know how long ago your rear windscreen went but I worked at renault last year and there was a lot of problems with them. Renault eventually brought out a "technical note" and if your car fell between certain categories (can't remember what they were now) you got it replaced free of charge. Best bet is to speak to your local dealer. Hope you get some money back! (read more)

I'm plagued by my Renaults, this 1.6 VVT was the first of the new 'booty' shape on a 02 plate, and my other Renault is a 04 Scenic 1.9DCI, this is even worse. The Scenic has had a new radiator, new windscreen, two new batteries, new card reader, new set of keys, new coolent vessel, computer reprogram, new engine mount. Outstanding problems that remain are dashboard turning off and on while driving. (read more)

As most of you can probably tell I was not best pleased with the Megane, its a horrible medium sized family car that struggles with everything a family would need it to do and my family consists of my wife (5ft 4ins) my son who is 8yrs my daughter 2yrs and myself (5ft 10ins) and it always felt cramped. One good thing was the tyres, they were Michelin's but hey thats another company is'nt it. I paid just under £8000 for this car in May 2007 and upon research into trading it in was offered ...

Tha attraction for me was the individual querky good looks of the design which have been improved with the 2006 facelift, Once I had driven it I wanted one. So far I have not been disappointed, it is a comfortable roomy car with all the bits & bobs you need. The electronic niggles found in older models seemed to have been ironed out & the 1.6 petrol engine is a treat to drive with plenty of power & flexibility at low speeds. (read more)
