Renault Megane Hatchback 1.9 RXE TD 5d (ABS) (1998/R) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Superb car for the money - I drive it 1000 miles a week.
Costs
Dealer service overpriced. Go to an independant. The reason this car has 6000 mile services is to check the auxiliary belt is ok. Use good quality oil and 9-10k mile servicing is fine.

Driving
