2003 Renault Megane 1.5dci review from UK and Ireland
"Quirky Car with Mega Fuel Economy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Boot catch needed replacing at 35,000 miles.
Headlight bulbs needed replacing at 34,000 miles. These cost £29 each to have replaced at a Renault dealer.
Seat covers started to wear badly.
General comments?
This car is nippy, reasonably comfortable and very, very economical!
Did I mention it was economical? Is does 55 to 60MPG, uses no oil or coolant and starts every time.
The cabin is a bit gloomy as most of the trim is black or dark grey, the rear legroom is average unless your children have long legs in which case you need a bigger car.
The headlight bulbs had to be replaced at a main dealer as I couldn't get my arm/hand into the space behind the headlight - I don't know how they change them at the dealers!
All in all it is a good little car with various quirks that the excellent economy makes worthwhile. I wouldn't have bought this car if it hadn't been so economical.
