Renault Megane Hatchback (2002 - 2006) 1.5 dCi Oasis (86bhp) 3d (Euro 4) (2005/05) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I don't think it really describes me as there are alot of Meganes out there if I'm being honest.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

My family and friends do like the car as the styling hasn't dated much since 2002.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, I would buy a new Megane Coupe as I have read that the build quality and reliability has improved.

What are you likely to buy next?

Would Love a Renaultsport Megane 225 in all fairness, but Would most likely go for a 2009 Ford Focus Zetec S 3 door.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£2,100

When did you buy the car?

October 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Cheap insurance group, only £30 to tax and seemed good value at the time.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

I really enjoy driving it as it has minimal body roll even on 16 inch alloys. The steering is light and precise also. The suspension setup is ideal for our potholed riddled roads. The 1.5 diesel is economical and has good bit of poke for a 1.5.

What's it like to park?

It's ok but the rear end sticks out abit but you do get used to it.

Have you had any problems with the car?

So far Electric passenger has failed, abs sensor and the odd electrical gremlin which seems to be common.

What's most practical about your car?

The boot is a fair size and passengers never complain about the back. Also there are loads of storage cubbys in the floor, glovebox, centre console and door cards.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Keyless entry, Stop/Start button, on board computer and automatic headlights. I love the panoramic roof when open but do find it annoying especially when in long journeys such as travelling on a long or bumpy road as it tends to whistle and rattle quite abit.
