2003 Renault Megane RXT review from Germany
"Great balance between performance and economy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Battery replaced after 6 months.
One rear lamp burned.
General comments?
The good things:
The engine is very quiet and smooth. In calm driving I never exceed 2500 rpm, and the auto-transmission loves to keep in high gear (sometimes it's a bit annoying).
The ride is very comfortable.
Lots of gadgets, great on board computer.
Average fuel consumption is good (8.5 liters for 100 km.).
The bad things:
The plastics on the dashboard began to squeak after a minor side accident I had.
The automatic gear-box is perfect if you are a formula 1 racer or a pregnant woman. For anything between it's a disaster.
