2001 Renault Megane cuope review from UK and Ireland
"Look's really nice, but performance is dreadful"
General comments?
The car is comfortable and there's' loads of space for the people sat in the front but there is no leg or head room in the back, and it has all the con's like fog lights, air con, half leather, electric windows front ant back, 6 disk CD changer, with all the controls for the CD player on the steering wheel.
Reliability isn't too bad only thing which as gone wrong is the coil pack went after 20.000 miles, but it's a common fault with renault's, and the paint work chip's and dent's really easy apart from that it's been great.
Performance is really rubbish for a 1.6 16v engine you read on site's 0-60 is about 9.3 seconds it's not true it's a lot slower, the revs go up so slow and in gear acceleration is rubbish my old 1.4 16v fiesta zetec had a more willing engine.
