Renault Megane Sport Tourer (2016 - 2022) Play Blue dCi 115 5d Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
Been given the 1.5 diesel Play model for a company car. This is all my own honest, unbiased experience.
Good points: looks great and is comfortable.
Bad points: There is no power or acceleration at low speed. Nothing happens until 2000 RPM. Can’t nip out at roundabouts/ junctions. At its worst when hill starting - it’s embarrassing and down right dangerous. This is without carrying any load. Eco mode makes this even worse.
Basic spec has no in built sat nav. Not a problem for apple car play you say, however as soon as you lose phone signal it cuts out on the screen and won’t sync automatically. You have to unplug usb cable for it to re-sync - illegal whilst driving but there is no other option.
Radio signal is forever losing signal with its external aerial.
Cup holders are too small for a standard travel mug.
The front demist is terrible.
All these little gripes add up and make it a chore to drive. I can not recommend and it has put me off having a Renault.
Seat Leon Estate, Ford Focus Estate & Vauxhall Astra estates I have had have had none of the above problems and I would switch in a heartbeat for this.
