2001 Renault Megane Classic Expression+ review from UK and Ireland
"Well-specified mid-range car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Delivered with a loose interior light.
As with the Clio and Laguna, the center air vents do not maintain the same temperature as the rest unless the fan is at medium or high. Below this the driver gets a cold draught. This is a design fault Renault are reluctant to acknowledge.
General comments?
I miss the ease of hill climbing and cruising of a 1.9 engine.
The Classic (saloon) version gives a better ride than the hatch-back.
Having to guess when the screen washer reservoir needs topping up is plain silly.
Handles well and is comfortable to drive.
