1997 Renault Megane Sport review from UK and Ireland
"It's a good all rounder car - ideal for general usage and with a sporty appearance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My gasket blew last year even though I had regular servicing.
General comments?
Overall I felt really comfortable driving this car. It felt right from the moment I sat in the seat. It handled well and served me well. The only problem I had was the gaskets went on a relatively short mileage.
However safety wise after being in a serious crash in this car I found I waked from it with only a few bruises amazing since I ended up in ditch and hit a tree. So thanks Renault your air bag and safety designs saved me - even the garage who lifted the car out of position were impressed.
