Other Renault Megane (2008 - 2016) models:

  • Summary

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What does this car say about you?

    Sensible but still want something a bit different and with a bit of sportiness.

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

    Upgraded from a 2007 Ford Ka so its a bit of a shock to the system, they all really love it, obviously had the obvious "Renault Electrics...." comments ect, but they are Nissan electrics now so all good.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Definitely, great value for money.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Probably a new Megane Tourer, (The tourer has a much nicer rear end, cosmetics wise).

  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Lovely, we have a 62 focus estate and it is much nicer to drive than that. The Megane has upgraded 17" alloys so its a little more bumpy.

    What's it like to park?

    Parking sensors are handy but would be a doddle to park without them.

  • Living with it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Nothing with this one, previous Megane required inner door latch tightening a couple of times. (2 min job) and exhaust heat shield repair after going through a flood a little too fast.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Economy (45MPG round town, 65MPG motorway) loads of boot space as its is a longer wheel base to the hatch.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Power fold mirrors, auto dip mirror and Cruise.
