Advantages Looks nice, drives nice, storage
Disadvantages Costs too much (petrol and repairs), Unreliable

We bought a Renault Megane about 2 and a half years ago and have recently part exed it and upgraded to a Citroen C4. I feel I now have had enough experience with the Megane to be able to write a fair review about it. The car we opted for at the time was an 05 version of the Megane in black and it suited us perfectly as it was larger than the Punto we previously had, and was able to accomodate our family of four perfectly well. In comparison to the Punto, this car was lovely to drive and we were happy with it for a few months, but we soon started to see it's faults. The main gripe we had with ... more

Drive my Car - UPDATED 13/07/2002

User recommends the product

Advantages Economical, reasonably comfortable, some nifty gadgets
Disadvantages I've been experiencing electrical faults; big blind spots

Background ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For me, driving is simply a method of getting from A to B. I don’t especially enjoy driving, and will happily be driven. Driving my husband around is a NIGHTMARE – he’s the world’s worst passenger seat driver. But I digress. My first car was an F-reg Lada Riva estate. It was a heap-o-junk. Anything after that had to be a bonus. Once we disposed of the Lada (which is a story in itself for another time and place), both my husband and I drove an F-reg Nissan Bluebird Turbo. It was blockish (we are talking 1988 make here), but quick off the ... more

Advantages smooth, quiet drive, economical on petrol low and cheap maintenance
Disadvantages seat belt as mentioned, parts are hard to come by in this country, parts are only shipped from France on a Monday

The Renault Megane 1.4 RT hatchback is my favourite car of all the cars I have ever driven. As I spend a lot of time driving for work, comfort and saftey are essential. As I am 5'6" I often find I have to draw the drivers seat right up to be able to reach the clutch and brake, but am then too far forward to use the accelerator comfortably. With the Renault Megane I have no need to draw up too far as the pedals seem to be almost tailor made for me! I don't bang my knees on the steering colum nor am I stretching to reach the pedals. The seats themselves are very comfortable, I have a problem ... more

Should I buy a Megane Hatch? 19/04/2005

User recommends the product

Advantages Looks, economy, confort adn above all safety
Disadvantages Looks, brand new cost

I purchased a Renault Megane Hatch last year in August 2002, it was my first car as i had previously had motor bikes. Due to only being 21 and it being my first car + knowing that the model i wanted was the Dynamique i decided to check a few insurance quotes to see if i could stretch to the 1.6 model or whether i would be limited to the 1.4. After many £1000+ quotes i was getting no-where, finally i heard £917 fully comprehensive from Tesco for the 1.4 i decided that 1.6 was not to be, although this was still a high premium i wanted the car and knew that i could not better that quote. (I would ... more

Renault Megane 1.4 Terminally boring 01/10/2003

User doesn't recommend the product

Advantages Relatively cheap to buy, reasonable looking, good space, solidly screwed together
Disadvantages Utterly lacking in performance, main dealer service, started to become unreliable after 30k

My wife bought our Renault Megane in 1999 to replace a very dog eared Vauxhall Nova that she had driven for years. We both liked the look of the Megane and I had read some relatively good magazine reviews about the car so we hot footed it to the local main dealer to part ex the Nova. As a portent of doom, literally 300 yards away from the Renault garage, a lad in Ford Sierra (Halfords Special) GLS decided his brakes did'nt work and smashed into the back of us, neatly disabling the poor Nova for good. I let him off the hook though, he looked so frightened and the Nova was only worth about fifty ... more
