2003 Renault Megane Dymanique review from UK and Ireland

The switch on clutch lever for starting procedure failed at 7000 miles, repaired under warranty.

Heat shield for exhaust came loose at 9000 miles.

The car thinks for you with automatic wipers and lights.

Everything in the cabin is laid out very well easy to reach and use, cabin lights up like a christmas tree when doors open, never seen so many interior lights in the ceiling or footwells.

Performance is a bit disappointing considering this is Renault's new variable valve timing.

Suspension could do with being a bit stiffer, but in general handling is good.

Having a card instead of a key to start the car is strange at first, but becomes second nature.

Good security feature when you unlock door is that it only opens drivers door, you have to press button again to open other doors.

Like the cars look it is totally different from the mark 1 Megane, the back end on the new Megane has a good retro look to it.

Three years warranty and three years AA breakdown cover, so three years piece of mind.

Go for 17" alloy option they transform the look of the car, standard 16" look lost on the car.
