Great Car When They Actually Work The Way They Should
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.
ive only had my 225 sport 6 weeks covered 710 miles noticed drivers side looked lower than passenger side took in too my local garage who on inspection said the coil spring had snapped informed dealer id purchased caar from didnt want too now its wear and tare i was told parts and labour £389 89p dealership parts only anything else major goes wrong its gone im afraidj just couldnt afford too pay out mega money for parts

Renault Sport225. Nothing But Trouble.avoid Like The Plague!
Got the car on 14feb12.
16feb hub has to be replaced. Umpteen coils have been put in but two days after the light is on again. The window motors have now both gone and the handbrake lever button has broken. Been told its a spring inside but Renault will only sell full part at approx £300!! Now it has a full system electronic failure so now needs an ecu. Great! We've only had it 6 months and I wish I'd never clapped eyes on it. Truely a bad experience. I would never buy or even consider buying another Renault. Nothing but trouble

Electrics, Electrics, Electrics, Getting The Point
owned 10 months, it's a 2004, with 62000 miles (never know how it managed those miles) full dealer service history.
Great car when it works, when it works is the key point.
esp is a disaster
engine managment is also a disaster
coil packs, well you be aswell just ordering them every month from the dealer.
service light on all the time, take it for a service, 10 miles later the light will be back on.
door seals, chewing gum will last longer and do a better job than the renault ones.
All that said when it works, it really works and your smile will be ear to ear.
Took mines to garage today, needing loads done again!! the work needed is greater than the cars value, if i had somewhere to store it i would strip it down and sell the parts on ebay!! that's how bad it is.
avoid like the plague. Under no circumstances purchase this model, there are plenty of simaler motors to chose from civic type r, golf r32, impreza sti, etc
Hi
No problems at all since February except a cracked alloy, which cost me a measly £140 to replace. I went through it a bit at the end of last year with stub axle - first one, then the other. Still doing 27-28 mpg most of that is done driving in and out of Cambridge during rush hour. Trip at night on A roads I will get 30-33 depending on how quickly I want to get there.
It's a fun car with all the gadgets including brilliantly placed audio controls (my BMW has then on the steering wheel! It keeps moving. Try to turn down when not going straight is a nightmare). The air con is much, much better than in my BMW too.
I am a bit of a Renault man. I had a 5 turbo for nearly 20 years. This was the first (of many cars I drove) that excited me more. Another great car was the 21 turbo - now that could shift!
Got the cash - get the car.
I'd love to hear if you go ahead.
PS - I've given up Renault garages.
well amsterdaz, honestly how costly has the last 10 months been with your megane, i am intrested to know as you must have the best one in the country. no problems or have you parted company since your comments. maybe every one else is wrong, eh??
Hi. Never had a problem with ESP, engine management or coil packs. Service light come on before the service (as it should). Have had to replace window regulators a couple of times but Renault (talk to customer services) gave me a 90% discount. Would have been free but paying something meant I got 12 month guarentee. OK, it's a renault so when it goes wrong it will cost you, on the other hand when it goes well it will put a bigger smile on your face than almost anything else.

Don't Buy This Car! Or A Reanult For That Matter!
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.

Hired This Car To Get To A Wedding. It Had Done 1
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.
