2005 Renault Megane ex review from Malta
"A comfortable, safe, economical car, good value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None.The only problem I've got is that when I open the boot the parcel shelf gets detached out of place and the dealer is going to set the rear seat and solve the problem under warranty.
General comments?
It is a very comfortable car, rides well and handles well although steering is too light at slow speeds and is a bit slow to react from a corner to another. Because the Megane is a car set up in comfort in mind. Perhaps it's not rewarding to drive as a focus, but it's really safe and as speed increases the steering becomes firm and the car rides better and on our 'moon terrain' roads its smooth and stable. It has a light clutch and smooth gear change. Refinement is also good and its' quality materials and soft suspension gives a very smooth ride and soft damping.It's also spacious and very practical and build quality is very good, economy is really impressive more than 65 miles per gallon on the combined cycle. The engine is smooth and strong. And finally it is the safest car in its class, well done Renault.
