Renault Megane Coupe 1996-
  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Loads of kit, a good second-hand buy. Similar money will only buy a bog standard Golf or Focus. This car is more unique than the other boring lot.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Average 40-45mpg on motorway. Not yet paid for a service. Touch wood, nothing seems to be faulty. Cheap tax and insurance.

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good driving position. Feel quite low down. Light steering. Rear visability could be better.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Quite a heavy, solid car; sometimes the 1.4 can struggle. Not bad once it gets going.

    Good looker.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Body-hugging front seats are comfy. Rear is small and cramped, not much of a boot, expected of a coupe.
