Overview
The Megane looked pretty radical when it was first launched in 2002 and split opinion as to whether that was a good thing or a bad thing. It’s available in a number of different bodystyles, and in an attempt to be all things to all men can be specified with a wide variety of engines and equipment levels. It excels in many areas, including safety and value, but a series of mechanical and electrical gremlins may make buyers think about another model.
