Renault Megane Coupe 1996-
  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Excellent equipment levels, air con, alloys, alarm, leather interior, 6 cd changer all standard with electric everything.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Good on fuel if driven sensibly. Renault try to pull your pants down on all things, so stay clear. Find a good, reliable garage for servicing and repairs.

    Smooth, but not very involving, best on motorways.

    Had mine 5 months, no trouble yet. NGK spark plugs go well in this car.

    The reason I bought the car. Love the looks, get one in the right colour and you have a very nice car. I rushed and settled on the colour of the first car I saw. Make sure it's the colour you want, there are plenty of Megane's out there.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Leather is a treat, seats give plenty of support. Maybe a squeeze for 6ft plus people.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Locks poor, alarm and immobiliser as standard. Done their job so far.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Never taken it to Renault, but heard bad things, so I stay well clear.
