2000 Renault Megane Alize Coupe 16v review from UK and Ireland
"You would get great value for money if were not for all the faults that seem to haunt this model"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The first thing I noticed was that the paint was fading. The paint-work is Sunflower yellow so the fault was extremely noticeable showing through the grey undercoat. This gave the overall colour appearance a green tint.
After 5 re-sprays the car still has paint faults. There have been over 22 faults with this vehicle including a faulty steering rack, fuel injection computer faults and leaking shock absorber.
General comments?
The car handles very well indeed. Both wet and dry driving is great fun.
The engine is a bit noisy, as is road noise through the chassis, but generally it's a fun car to drive and economical too.
