1996 Renault Megane RN Paris (Limited Edition) review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap car to get you from A to B"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear lights leaked so every time it rained the rear of the car was soaked.
HT leads went at 53,000 miles.
Exhaust dropped off at 54,250 miles.
Front seats stitching torn.
Bad acceleration due to loose cable.
Exhaust blowing since purchase.
General comments?
This car is quite responsive and acceptably reliable. As I say it doesn't have decent acceleration due to the tiny 1.4 8 valve engine. Heavy thrashing because of this.
Tyres easy to replace and was driven to France and back with no problem at all.
Would not recommend to large family as the legroom is absolutely pathetic. Extremely big boot.
