1998 Renault Megane RN review from UK and Ireland
"Good looking car, but very unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car stalled in wet weather regularly if it had to drive through the shallowest of puddles and was never fixed despite several visits to the dealer.
Starter motor problems, poor connection, had to bring the car to the dealer several times before problem was solved.
Poor gear change, extremely sticky in 1st and 3rd.
General comments?
This car is extremely slow, particularly in 1st and 2nd gears. It takes long time gain any speed with the car.
The car is unsafe for overtaking.
The stereo quality was excellent.
This car is extremely comfortable.
The car handled very poorly when cornering.
Dealership service quality was good, always courteous and helpful despite problems.
