After a low-speed accident, but a major repair, the steering feels not the way it used to be. Apart from that, it's OK in general.
Very well built and equipped, also very generous in space - both in the inside and luggage compartment.
Very quiet while driving in town and on motorways as well. No particular noise intrusion.
Brake performance is superb.
Engine is smooth, but may be reluctant to move at first - just because it has an auto gearbox?
However, the interior is boringly dark with the black fabric upholstery and plastics. A decent plush with a lighter shade of beige would have suited better.
Climate control works well and it's easy to operate, sound system is pleasuring.
Exterior design is nice.
Bought my car in November 2003 since then have had to bring it back to the garage twice as the service light for faulty airbag appeared I now have had to had it towed to the garage as another light appeared indicating a major engine fault. It turns out that all four coils have had to be replaced.
I purchased my Renault Megane in Feb 2004. I find it extremely comfortable an economic on fuel, but it is far from reliable.
After 7,000km I have had to have all the electric window motors replaced.
Also after 9,000km had to replace the ignition coils. (A common problem with Renaults down through the years I was informed)
I have been driving a Megane Sporthatch Dynamique 1.6 for nearly 2 years now and have not had any problems. I know many who have the 1.4 model and they have had various problems. Mine has been so reliable that we have bought a 1.6 Dynamique Saloon and we have had no problems with this either, both are good cars and seem very reliable.
