Renault Megane 1.6 Coupe

The car: MEGANE COUPE 1999 1.6 16V Sports Alize phase 2 I have had the car for 4-5 years now and guess I can judge how well the Megane Coupe has faired for me. Many reviews here don't seem to distinguise whether it is the phase 1 or phase 2 models. Phase 1 models are usually 8V whereas the phase 2 models are 16V and have a slightly different front and back styling. The picture shown above is of a phase 2 car and is the hatchback version NOT the coupe! Here I review my car which is the phase 2 Coupe model. In the review I'll talk about ownership and possible problems...including those which I ... more

How predictable? My girlfriend and I purchased a Renault Megane 1.6e Coupe several years ago, and I must admit to hogging it most of the time. Our other car (a Saab) is as economical as wacking up the central heating then leaving all the windows open. ** ON THE OUTSIDE ** Well, it looks the part, although it doesn't have the front fog lights that the 2.0 model benefits from. It's as curvy as Vanessa Feltz standing in front of one of those wobbly mirrors you get at the funfairs, yet some how refined and almost intelligent looking. I'd compare it to a labrador puppy, waiting eagerly to go for a ... more

I riecently traded up from an Nreg MGF (see my review there). The soft top was no longer practicle and I wanted a nice looking coupe with a bit more space. I origionally considered an Astra Coupe, but they were out of my price range and I was also considering depreciation. I wasn't getting anywhere near the price I wanted for the MGF and it was going to cost alot to trade in - I luckly found an MG/Rover garage where I got a realy good deal. My advise when part xing - look for a garage that sells your car and see what they have in stock first. Anyways - onto the Coupe. Looks Well Renault did a ... more

I bought my W-reg Renault Megane Coupe 1.6 Sport Alize January 2007. I paid nearly £3000 for this car including the value of my old Citroen AX which I part-exchanged in as part of the deal. I had been looking for this model for some time and was relieved to finally purchase one from a local garage. I bought it with 86000 miles on the clock. It now has 99000. STYLING - Initially one the main reasons I started looking for the coupe variant of the megane was the styling. Although it is starting to show its age now compared to newer models on the market, the car is still an attractive shape. My ... more

The Car It's a black renault megane coupe dynamique+ 1.6 51reg. I used to have a Renault Clio 1.4RT which I loved, but the coupe was the only car that I would exchange it for (it had to be black). Exterior It looks fantastic, sleek and sexy - the dynamique+ model has a sunroof fitted as standard as well as having air conditioning. It has front fog lights which add to the classy look the car has. It's black which does show up the dirt but it's such a nice looking car that you take pride in and actually want to keep it clean and shiny! Interior There is plenty of room in the front with the seats ... more
