Everyone loves the style of the car and those people, who are better informed re performance cars, are even more impressed.

Another Megane renaultsport but ,as their prices have increased , might have to consider alternatives (such as Seat Leon Cupra ).

No

£16,000

May 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

Original price was fair but then dealer included car tax and new battery plus gave me fair p/ex price fro my car.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

It was my second choice but,after I had driven the car, i was hooked on its style and performance.

What was the dealer like?

Friendly , non-pushy, and really trying to make a good deal.

What's it like to drive?

Performance , handling, roadholding are all sublime/excellent .Sports suspension is more comfortable than more extreme cup chassis one could have.Good car in town and even better on the motorway.

What's it like to park?

Can be difficult as rear view not so good and rear parking sensors ,though helpful, are over-sensitive.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Had to get new battery plus had to replace bonnet strut under manufacturer's warranty. Otherwise very reliable though alloy wheels are too easy to scratch/damage.

What's most practical about your car?

Can seat 5 reasonable sized people.and has good size boot - pleasant surprise for a sports coupe.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Leather seats are amazingly comfortable and rear parking sensors are helpful as rear view out of coupe is not so good.Tyre pressure gauge very useful as driving car hard means that tyre pressures need regular 'topping up'.
