1998 Renault Megane Coupe review from UK and Ireland
"Fast, fun and great looking car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car sometimes doesn't start too well and you have to idle it manually on cold mornings. After you have driven for a few minutes though it runs fine.
General comments?
Good performance and whilst not mind blowinly fast, there is solid power and it definitely beats many cars off the lights.
The handling is good too and predictable.
Petrol consumption is really poor round town, but on the motorway runs it's more economical than my old Cavalier which is surprising from a 2.0 litre engine.
Choose this if like me you could not afford the 2.0 16v Coupe, although this 8v model was hard to find.
