Firstly they are a good car when everything is fine..but those times are few and far between IMO. Rattles are a pain in the cabin..the simplest DIY on them is a nightmare..you have to drop the bumper to change a headlight bulb! Parts are expensive..and theres always a light on for some reason or another? The latest issue is a xenon near side headlight failure which will mean back into the auto electrician to see what the actual problem is? If Im being total honest I love the car..but I would not buy another..just not worth the hassle or cost.

Great car, love the looks love the performance(When its not in the garage), only had the car for 6 months and i have bought a pile of S%!t. 04reg 66k in Orange. drove 100miles 2 go and get it. had nothing but problems, xenon power pack, Renault want £480 xenon shop want £35 head gasket, Renault want £2000+ CD changer, second hand £100 radiator, Renault want £550+ both door seals, Renault want £220 per door ETC, ETC, ETC. the list goes on, I still love the car i just got a DUD 1. any one want to swap??? doggy car dealer @ star lodge in thirsk. never again.

DON'T buy this car! Or a Reanult for that matter! I would never buy another Renualt, the parts are so expensive and this car has just been one massive nightmare! It started when the wheel kept pulling, I had to have a hub replaced which cost £1000, then the electrics started playing up and my dash lit up like Blackpool! The electrics are dodgy and keeps saying something's wrong when it isn't. My other hub now needs replacing and there's a clicking when the wheel is turned... very loud! the steering rack now needs to be replaced! I paid close to £7000 a year ago and today I was offered £2500 by a garage who knew the repairs would be pricey! Renault parts are triple the cost of other makes. Such a let down.

I am currently driving Megane sport 225,one day on my way to work it started to release a huge smoke on both exhauss and I took it in for repairs and and they told me that the Turbo is damaged - and it has been at the repirs for almost a moth now, i love the car uts very comfortable to drive hoever it is also very sensitive

Hired this car to get to a wedding. It had done 10000 miles and i can't comment on the previous service history etc. But after leaving the airport noticed the lights were on, although off on the console. After 30 mile realised the indicators were intermitantly working. then randomly jammed on left turn.
windscreen wipers did a similar thing.
Was not impressed.
Appart from this was nice to drive, just glad I was hiring and not buying.
Also can't comment on the value for money so gave it neutral.

great loving experience

ive had my megane sport for a few months now! and so far its been brilliant. its great for the family and when im alone its brilliant on performance and speed. i think they look fantastic a deffo eye turner when goin through towns. fuel can be pricey when u put the pedal down, regarding tyres i deffo think u have to go for a gud make on a car like this or it will b pointless driving it, which again could cost a bit.

If you are thinking of buying a Renault 225 Sport, don't do it. I chopped in a Subaru Imprezza for one of these heaps, a decision i have regretted on many occasions.
In 17 months it's been into the dealers 4 times all for electrical problems. I have owned it from new and it now has 14.500 miles on the clock. All the work has been done under warranty but thats not the point is it.
Ive got a test drive booked in a Focus ST.
I can't wait to see the back of the Renault!

I own the sport cup and really like the uprated brakes and styling. The car is really fun to drive and have mullered R32s,VXR Turbos, and many more. Iti s by far a under rated sports car.

This car has almost bankrupted me! It eats tyres so expect to spend £500+ on tyres every 13k miles. Rubbish on fuel economy, high insurance & the tax is creeping up every year ( £210 this year).
Oh and in the 3 years I've owned it, I've lost £10k in depreciation alone. Check your local renault dealer out - mine are very skilled at trying to rip you off and shoddy work....but done with a smile of course! A lot of fun at a VERY high price. If you can afford to spend that much cash, am sure there's better cars to be had.

Buy a Renault Megane and be amazed. Unfortunately I bought a lemon and it's taken me 4 months for my dealer to agree to find me a replacement, so fingers crossed. Had rear suspension failure (repaired) steering difficulties (they replaced every component on off side front) trouble with gearbox (they eventually agreed to replace that) turbo failure recently so they have now agreed to replace the car for a newer year with less mileage....RESULT

Would love another Renault Megane 225 sport 2.0 Turbo but car been in garage for 6 months out of the 18 I have had it!!
