Renault Megane Coupe (1996 - 2003) 16V 2d (AC) (1999/T) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

It depends who's looking... some think this car is a bit girly, others who are a bit smarter get upset that you've left them standing at the lights. Others think it's a bit of a young/juvenile looking car.

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

Would you buy this car again and why?

Probably not, looking for something with RWD or possibly a bit swifter!

What are you likely to buy next?

Looking at BMW's right now.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£2,900

When did you buy the car?

January 2006

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes previous owner bought an ex demo model and only sold it to get something cheaper for his son to learn in.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Was looking for a reasonably swift car, that wasn't going to kill me too much on insurance (grp 13) and that was reasonable priced to purchase.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Fun and engaging drive, loves corners and speed. Driven hard it gets thirsty but it's a 2.0l so you'll still be smiling even though your petrol is disappearing before your eyes.

What's it like to park?

Visibility is reasonable. Car is quite short so doesn't have many problems fitting into spaces. Turning circle is reasonably short too.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No trouble whatsoever.

What's most practical about your car?

Actually... this isn't a practical car. Probably those 2 seats in the back so you can occasionally take friends, but for all intents and purposes, this is a 2 seater!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The trip computer with miles left readout is nice.
