Rattling noise coming from engine block between 3000 and 4000 rpm - happened 8 months ago (at 3500 km), still not fixed, waittng opinion from France.
Water pouring in from front right door speaker - dealer fixed it.
Replaced both head light bulbs.
Brakes screeching since 2000 km.
Bumping noise in front left wheel when on poor road.
I was quite happy when I got the car. It is a very good car to drive and operate, but the metal sound coming from engine block every time I change gear makes me crazy. The dealer couldn't solve the problem and after three times they told me that problem is solved and gave me the car with the same irritating noise, I changed the dealer and they placed the problems to the factory. I'm waiting for their solution for the past three months.
Agree with you regarding quality. I drive a 2004 Megane 1.6. The dash rattles, especially on the passenger side - sounds like a Spanish dancer with castanets. It even rattles when I drive over smooth concrete in a parkade. Also there is a metallic banging noise from the LF suspension when cornering.
There are no functional failures, but my overall impression is that I would have been better off buying a Corolla.
I have a 12 month old 1.6 VVT sport tourer. and have noted that there is a water leak into the left hand front door pocket. Can't see where it comes from, but as the door pocket is watertight, the water doesn't go away. Other than that I am very happy with the car.
