1997 Renault Megane Coupe 1.6 fidji review from UK and Ireland
"A top affordable coupe!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Problems getting first gear when approaching junctions.
Plastic knob to push seat forward snapped off!
General comments?
Well its my first car and I love it!
I've found the car fairly quick, but you do need to take it over 3000 rpm to get the best from it.
It's a very nice car to drive, but can get a bit hairy through country lanes if you push it too hard and that's with Goodyear tyres on!
The rear seats aren't as bad as they look, well I had no complaints from my friend who is 5'11 and he was in the back for almost an hour!
Insurance is very good for a coupe even the 2.0l 16v isn't overly expensive!
All in all it's a good value car when you buy it at this age, but I advise if it does need a service or any work doing avoid Renault dealers if you can and get a private mechanic or do the work yourself with a trusty Haynes manual!
