Renault Megane Saloon (2003 - 2006) 1.5 dCi Oasis (86bhp) 4d (Euro 4) (2005/05) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I am stupid.

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

"Well, it's a car..."

Would you buy this car again and why?

Never again. Too many problems for a 3-years old car. I won't buy any another Renault, for that matter.

What are you likely to buy next?

Ford Focus or Vauhall Astra. Maybe Skoda Ocatvia.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

January 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Some guy crashed into my Vauxhall and I needed a replacement quickly.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Generally ok.

What's it like to park?

Good visibility, nothing to complain about.

Have you had any problems with the car?

The airco stopped working pretty soon after I bought the car. Took it to the Renault garage and had the cooling liquid refilled. They told me to come back withing two weeks to check if/where the airco system leaks (200+ euro). Second time they said they have to order some gasket that was supposedly bad. Third time they tried to replace the gasket and discovered that in fact the airco compressor is leaking. Estimated repairing cost: around 900+ euro (700 pounds). Aside from that, the driver seat belt won't retract very well (the spring seems to be tired). The rubber pipe conducting water to the rear-window wiper is squashed when closing the trunk, so there's no water coming through. The left mirror won't move as far as I would like it to. The electric window controls are not very well p

What's most practical about your car?

Large trunk. Compared to my previous car (Vauxhall Astra hatchback) the engine is slightly stronger and consumes slightly less (with a larger car).
