Renault Megane in general

i bought a 2nd hand renault megane rush in jan 2007. only 2 years old with one years warranty left on it - i bought it for 6500 i thought i had a good deal.... boy was i wrong - within the first week i noticed a damp smell, the car was letting in water, my handbrake was rusty, the noise that came out fo the engine when it started was like a horse on heat!so here i go back to straight back to the dealers who had been so lovely the week before as a signed my cheque and handed it over to the sales guy who was drooling for the money - practically had to fight to get a courtesy car...mental note do not shop with charles hurst|!!!! ok few more months down the line ...  Read the complete review

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

I bought my 2.0l megane dynamique (2004) in 2006 and still miss it now. There were plenty of good and bad things about the car but overall it gave me a very happy year of motoring. Firstly the looks. They are not to everyones taste I agree but I liked them very much and it made a nice change on the roads from the run of the mill Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra and VW Golf that everyone else seems to drive. Inside, the car is very well designed. It feels an expensive car and is extremely comfortable on a long drive and the seat patterns were very stylish. The leather steering wheel and gear knob were soft to touch and made for a relaxed driving ...  Read the complete review

I own a 5 door 1.6 16v Megane Sport. Unlike many commentators I think the chrome radiator finish suits the car well epecially in blue and a fairly discreet spoiler compliments the smooth organic shape. I do find that at only 5'10" there is not enough headroom if i sit up properly in the front or back. This is a shameful design flaw in a multi million sale European car explicitly aimed at a mass market-completely stupid, especially as the leg room front and back is excellent for this size car and the controls are so excellently placed. Go for the sport seats which are a vast improvement on the standard ones, again a good feature let down by not being able to sit ...  Read the complete review
