Good looks, even now nice body styling - pity about the electrical build; could have been the best looking car around - look at the seat Leon Cupra similar shape how this car should have looked.
Comfort
Back ache after an hours driving, to soft.

High priced parts, poor electrics in all Meganes and Lagunas stay away - could have been a great car apart from this - would never go near another Renault.
