1998 Renault Megane RT review from UK and Ireland
"Great car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first got it the electric light kept coming on and the car would stall. I had the ECU changed, luckily still under warranty.
The clutch cable snapped.
Rear wheel barrings went every 4 months during the 1st year of having the car.
Rear demister does not work, coincidentally after having the car serviced.
The exhaust is blowing at the moment - is booked in to get fixed next week.
General comments?
The seats are very comfortable.
Handles well.
Good on petrol on the motorway.
A good looking car!
I got the car at a bargain, the sales man at Renault gave me a price, I bought it and minutes later his boss told the sales man that he sold it to me £2000 cheaper than it should have been!
