Other Renault Megane (2008 - 2016) models:

  • Summary

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What does this car say about you?

    Sensible, comfortable, fairly stylish.

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

    Compliments on the looks with black paint and large alloys. Some people have also noticed a lack of rear legroom, especially behind me (I'm not that tall, but have very long legs).

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Probably.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Something that won't be on finance so I can go ahead with a house purchase ... after that, maybe something similar.

    Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

    Very good finance deal, happy with the ownership of two previous Renaults.

    What was the dealer like?

    Friendly, professional, helpful.

  • Driving it

    3 out of 5 3.0

    What's it like to park?

    Easy with reasonable visibility for a new car, and standard parking sensors.

  • Living with it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Driver's door slightly out of alignment, fixed on the spot by a local dealer (not the supplying dealer).

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Bluetooth stereo.
