Renault Megane Renaultsport (2010 - 2016) 2.0 T 16V Renaultsport (250bhp) 3d (2010/10) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Mid-life crisis. Probably.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

I think most people think it's a bit of an extreme sports car, but really it's very comfortable when you just pootle around.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes. I love the looks and the performance.

What are you likely to buy next?

An Alfa 4c. If I win the lottery.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£15,000

When did you buy the car?

July 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

I had very specific requirements in terms of colour, wheels, sat nav, seats etc, so when I found an example which fitted the bill I paid the asking price. But I got a decent trade-in price.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Outstanding performance and great looking, whilst still relatively practical.

What was the dealer like?

Good experience.

What's it like to drive?

Absolutely sensational. So incredibly quick, and the grip is phenomenal. I just love driving it.

What's it like to park?

Rear visibility isn't great (very small rear window), so parking is a bit challenging. Parking sensors help though.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Not yet! The car was 2 years old when I got it, and in my first 6 months of ownership I've had no issues.

What's most practical about your car?

The integrated Sat Nav. I've never had one before, but it's great.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The 19 inch diamond cut alloy wheels - an optional extra that some might consider "bling", but were essential in my opinion.
