2000 Renault Megane Coupe Sport Alize review from UK and Ireland
"Gorgeous looking, fun to drive, shame about the dealers.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
6 months after getting the car the gear box support bolt sheared after pulling away at a roundabout. For once Renault service was very good and they fixed it immediately.
Alternator belt slipping after 24000 mile service.
Paint bubbling on rear spoiler.
General comments?
Great looking exterior, dull interior. Very comfortable, especially on long journeys.
Great fun to drive and very responsive at higher revs. Well refined, decent build quality (especially when compared to my old Saxo)
Good selection of toys for the money. Air con is great and the sound system is especially good. Great 6 speaker setup.
Dealer service especially poor, and expensive. Am now using independent Renault specialists.
