1998 Renault Megane Classic RN review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major but a lot of small things. Many electrical problems such as permanent alarms up.
Steering lock has never worked. Gearbox is very notchy, quite often cannot get first gear.
ABS is permanently faulty. Dealer has been very unhelpful in contrast to Renault UK who have extended the warranty by another year at their expense.
Nearside door lock sometimes turns in the door.
Internal heater/ventilation fan very noisy.
On the positive, car is comfortable and has a huge boot.
General comments?
Unless you are lured by the cheaper price or need a car with a massive boot, pay the extra and get the Golf or the Focus.
I had my previous car (a Ford Escort) for 9 years. I don't think this car will last as long.
