1999 Renault Megane Coupe Monaco review from UK and Ireland
"A luxury sports car which would outdrive a Viper GTS"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing as yet.
General comments?
I had a Megane Coupe 1.6e before, and enjoyed driving it so much I bought another - this time the top of the range Monaco model.
I noticed the difference in performance straight away - I can reach 30 Miles per hour in first gear and it goes up to 60 in third. The top speed I have managed was 125mph, at which I was too scared to go any faster.
The boy racers are left dazed in a cloud of my dust.
This car seriously enhances your image - I find people are always looking twice when I drive past them - a true flirts car.
Fuel consumption is not bad for a car of this speed (about 40 miles per gallon).
The most impressive thing apart from performance is the equipment level. The car has leather interior, alloys, trip computer, air conditioning, 6CD player, Electric front/rear windows and a sound proof windscreen all fitted as standard - a truly wonderful car to drive.
I would definately buy another car from Renault - this is my second Megane Coupe and I have been pleased from day 1.
