Summary
What does this car say about you?
flash git!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
My kids love the open top in summer!
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes, like the 2.0 16v engine and only this model/style, as understand next generation Megane is NOT a DIY headlight bulb repair!
What are you likely to buy next?
Maybe a coupe convertible hard top, as in winter soft-top needs aircon/heater on constant!

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Independent
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£3,495
When did you buy the car?
March 2008
Did you get a good deal and why?
Yes, gave me £2000 for my 21 year old classic against this one at £3495.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Owned a 21year old Bertone X1/9 (immaculate condition) that private buyers would only offer £500 for, so this 2nd hand dealer gave me £2000 for it against the Megane - wanted a convertible with 4 seats and an electric roof
What was the dealer like?
no problems, very helpful

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Very nippy and agile being 2.0 16v, yet still returns tank to tank manual calculation 40mpg!
What's it like to park?
a bugger with the roof up as the plastic back window is very opaque (like a frosted window), otherwise easy peasy!
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
alarm is temperamental, sometimes goes off, sometimes doesn't! Think its to do with interior light that's broke - need to fix!
What's most practical about your car?
Electric roof is both practical and a pose!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Electric roof
