Renault Megane Hatchback 1996-

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good value for money. Plenty of kit, but could do with a CD player!

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Running costs were what to be expected. Good MPG on the motorway, but a little disappointing round town.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Engine is 'keen' and lively if revved.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    For an 8-valve car, it is surprisingly quick and smooth.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Never failed me in over 2 years of ownership.

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Has a little French flair and although it looks good, will always be vastly over-shadowed by the Coupe.

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Seats could be more supportive, although the lumbar support is a nice touch.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Good immobiliser which kicks in after about 30 seconds, but could do with an alarm!

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Dealer was ok, but didn't seem too interested once I'd paid my money.
