I am on my 4th car in 4 years, I'm not the kind of person who has to change their car for fear of it getting old, my circumstances have changed and that has necessitated a change in vehicle for me. My car history started with a clapped out Citroen ZX, progressed to a Fiat Punto which I loved, from then I had a Ford Focus (hated it, most rubbish car in the world) and now I have a Renault Mégane estate (my opinion of which you will find below). What led me to trade in the Focus was the unreliability and general uselessness of it. I had briefly flirted with the possibility of having a Mégane (the one with the ass) before I got the Focus but couldn't quite decide whether I ..  Read the complete review

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ UPDATE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My company has just agreed a new company ca scheme which meant that I could have afforded a new Audi after all. However, I'm so pleased with my Megane, that I'm glad I didn't wait. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I was looking to change my company car recently, my first preference was for another saloon. I'd been driving a Toyota Carina which was well past its best, but the time had come now to order my new car after four years with the old one. My first preference was for an Audi,which was what I'd had first several years ...  Read the complete review

The Renaultsport Megane 225 is the hottest version of the big-bottomed French hatchback! The 225 is so named due to the power output of its engine, a 2 litre 4-pot turbo producing around 225 BHP. Starting with looks, the Megane in all its forms is an acquired taste, with the 'shaking that ass' advertised rear end. My neighbour said to me when he first saw it, 'get rid of that ugly thing'. To me, though, the rear end is wide, squat and with the twin centre exit exhaus: rally car mean looking - like I say, it's the marmite of the car world - you either love it or hate it. The 225 comes with either 5 spoke 18" alloys, that look OK, or the Cup multispoke ...  Read the complete review

I currently have a brand-new Renault Megane Sport Tourer (the new mk3 2009-onwards model). I've been driving it a couple of months now and I honestly think this is the best-looking estate car on the market. The majority of estate cars look like they've been designed in someone's coffee break by a trainee and just appear to have an extra box welded onto the end of the car. This, however, is superbly designed to look like a more of a elongated hatchback and actually makes the regular hatchback version look like it's missing a part. It's a very striking looking car and looks very bulky and well built with a high-rise bonnet and thick, chunky door guards. The rear ...  Read the complete review
