Renault Megane Cabriolet (2003 - 2005) 2.0 VVT Privilege 2d (2004/04) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

That it's not just about getting from A to B - how you get there counts as well.

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

Everyone loves it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes - great value and great fun.

What are you likely to buy next?

Who knows - something I spend 99.9 % of my time thinking about!

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£17,000

When did you buy the car?

August 2005

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes - good trade in price on my ropey old Prelude, friendly and non-pressuring salesman.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I wanted a cabriolet, and the Megane was ultra-modern, with loads of gadgets and the advantage of a folding glass roof rather than the traditional (and often vandalised!) canvas tops.

What was the dealer like?

Excellent.

What's it like to drive?

Pretty good. I've heard moans about the 2.0 being underpowered, but it still has the guts to bring a smile to my face. It's also very smooth and there's very little buffeting and scuttle shake.

What's it like to park?

Very easy, especially with the roof down.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Has been extremely well behaved.

What's most practical about your car?

Four seats and a HUGE boot - very practical for a cabriolet.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The Privilege model fully loaded as standard - I love all the gadgets!
