2001 Renault Megane RXE review from Venezuela
"Better than I thought"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A fog light that fogs internally.
Dead battery at 8 months. Replaced under warranty.
Dead remote control battery a few days ago, cheap to replace.
General comments?
It's an excellent car, even at 150+ kph it handles right, it likes driving in wet weather.
A/C works perfectly, heater heats very fast.
Engine could have 10 or 20 more horsepower but its still above average.
Transmission works smoothly and precise.
Can't complaint about the service, a bit slow but is a high quality costumer service.
This is my first Renault ever and I can't complain, my last Fiat Marea got totalled in a small crash against a lamp post at 20 kph, engine mounts moved badly.
