2002 Renault Megane Expression review from Australia and New Zealand
"Not worth the hassles, buy an Astra Convertible instead"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Megane had an oil leak from day one. We took it in for repairs twice (1000km each trip plus accommodation). The third time they freighted the car for us. It was there 5 weeks and when it came back it had 150 less km on the clock. They said it was impossible, where did my car go during that 5 weeks? Oil leak seems fixed, still concerned about the missing kilometers. We have had lots of little problems, faulty lights, boot struts etc.
General comments?
Love the look of the car and it is seriously fun with the roof down. Great to drive.
