2001 Renault Megane Coupe Dynamique review from UK and Ireland
"Good looking car that's a nice drive, sadly let down by Renault reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
ABS system failure after brakes being replaced at a cost of £300.
3 engine coils failed at separate intervals at a cost of £50 each.
Electric window motor failed at a cost of £60 to replace.
General comments?
A nice handling car with comfortable seats and a good driving position.
Most controls in a good position except for the hazard warning switch; every time I needed to use it, I had to take my eyes off the road to locate it!
Not much leg or head room in the back, but the seats are comfortable.
Fair sized boot for a coupe, and the seats fold down for larger items.
The engine is under powered, and struggled with a full load, but returned 34MPG even though constantly used at high revs to get power out of it.
