Renault Megane Coupe 1.6e 2d (1998/R) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Some real low milage bargins around. Mine is extremely well equipped with full electrics (inc. sunroof), air con and cd player.
Costs
Servicing and mpg are about average. Insurance is cheap.

On the road
Driving
Handles well around town or at speed. Replace the orginial alloys with larger wheels for extra grip.
Performance
Quick for a 1.6 8v but no performance car. Cruises well on long journeys.

Living with it
Reliability
A few niggly problems but nothing major. Have seen some abused ones, so best going for full service history.
Image
Nice styling with a very sporty flavour, orginal alloys look bland.
Comfort
Seats are very supportive and ride, although firm, is not uncomfortable. The rear is deceptively large, my two friends are over 6' and sat back there for over an hour without complaint. Overall, good for a coupe.

Security and Service
Security
Remote central locking and immobiliser. Have an alarm fitted if it's not already had one installed.
