Renault Megane Tourer (2006 - 2009) 1.5 dCi Dynamique (106bhp) 5d (2006/56) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I was too mean to spend three times as much money to replace my previous BMW with a similar one!

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

Generally well liked due to its comfort and room.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, because I feel you get a lot of car for the money, but only if a hefty discount is obtained. If I had to pay the list price then I would spend the extra on an audi or bmw.

What are you likely to buy next?

BMW 530d Touring

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£10,672

When did you buy the car?

September 2006

Did you get a good deal and why?

The car came with metallic paint, 17" alloy wheels, climate control and opening tailgate window included, which would have pushed the list price to over £17,000. I therefore got more than £6,000 off the list price, which I consider to be pretty good for a car with less than 1 mile on the clock

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I wanted a comfortable, spacious and practical new car with low running costs.

What was the dealer like?

Motorpoint in Newport was excellent. All the paperwork was completed within 20 minutes and I was driving away. There were no surprises and I have no complaints.

What's it like to drive?

Very relaxed and smooth to drive over long distances. Light controls and low noise levels means you arrive relaxed and unstressed, unlike some performance cars I have owned.

What's it like to park?

Very easy due to light steering and reasonably good visibility but it is quite a long car.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Heated rear window was replaced under warranty due to a defective element.

What's most practical about your car?

Large flat boot with a low sill which is excellent for our two labradors.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I still prefer the renault stereo remote controls to steering wheel mounted controls found on most other cars.
