I've always had Renault cars with an occasional diversion to vauxhall, fiat, peogeot and Toyota. Bought this megane when I changed jobs and had to hand back a lovely laguna coupe. This little car has 100k on the clock and goes really well. Returns 45 mpg and feels safe and secure on the road with a nice firm ride and confidence inspiring in the twisty bits. The seats are extremely comfortable and there is just enough space for my kids and all the stuff that they accumulate!.
The 1.6 engine is torquey and powerful. This is the first petrol Renault I've had since a 1.7 Renault 11 and I don't think I'll go back to derv again!
There is no rust anywhere on the body of the car and the blue/green metallic paint looks really good when polished up. It does blend into the crowd a little but there are thousands of megane on the road so we can't all be wrong....
The safety of the car is reassuring. Twin airbags in the front and side airbags too this on top of the abs and edb to bring things safely to a hault!
I do about 500 miles per week and so far my little megane has been a reliable trusty little car . I bought it with 1 yr mot with new brakes and tyres with a full service history for £400 so I'm pleased!
