2004 Renault Megane Authentique review from Romania
"Good car, but not supported by the customer service"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
CD-player broke down after about 10 days.
Extremely bad customer service.
After about 5000Km a strange noise kept hearing in the left wheel when driving on poor roads.
I found water in the passenger door pocket.
The rubber gaskets of the hand-break box fell off.
Sometimes it lacks power even at motorway speed (like fuel starvation).
Not exactly very well built.
Not too nippy.
General comments?
Good stability in corners.
Very quiet.
Very good looking.
Good handling.
Huge boot space.
Good fuel consumption.
