2001 Renault Megane 16v review from Israel
"Good value for money, but un-exciting"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing serious, plastic boot lock inside the cover keeps falling off, despite being replaced by the dealer.
General comments?
Seats are too soft and do not provide enough support.
Car goes like the clappers when required, great acceleration.
Generally pleasing to drive, but it's not a sports saloon.
Plenty of room in the large (classic) boot, but at the expense of rear legroom which is severely restricted.
So far, so good, but not an exciting car to drive, most probably I will go for the Ford Focus or Seat Toledo next time.
