2001 Renault Megane Standard review from Germany
"This car is very unreliable and I wish I hadn't sold my Audi A3"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The starter went bad at around 50000 kilometres and car had to be towed.
Tires have wore out quickly in the period of time I've had it.
Windshield Wiper blades wear out quickly.
The car has had to be towed in several to where the dealer could'nt explain. This has been lots of trouble because this usually happens when I'm going to work. It seems like I have spent more time in rental cars than this car.
General comments?
All of the occurrences of the car not starting happened in the morning at work. I believe I have spent more time in rental cars than in this one. The Audi A3 I had before I had this car was much better quality.
