2000 Renault Megane Alize review from UK and Ireland
"A fast, safe, reliable, cute and comfortable car that I could recommend to anyone"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front right electric window had a mind of its own, sometimes you would press it and it would go all the way down, other times it would only go down a bit? Apart from that, nothing.
General comments?
This is the best car I've ever driven. The speed sensitive steering is excellent, you can actually feel what the car is doing as you're driving it. The gears are slick, the seats are very supportive, all round vision is excellent too.
The car does roll a little bit, but for a family hatch-back it handles superbly.
Performance is excellent. Very quick from a stand still (0-60 in 9.6) and is more than adequate for motorway driving. It looks the part too, it may not be quite as "sporty" as an Astra, but it's no where near as mundane!
Unfortunately it's now been written off due to a Ford Sierra jumping the lights and hitting my drivers side at about 50mph. Meganes have been voted the safest cars and their class - I can certainly vouch for that as this one probably kept me alive!
