1997 Renault Megane RT review from Bosnia and Herzegovina
"Good, reliable, cheap to run, comfortable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has one wrong with this car since I bought it (three years ago). Regular service is all you need to do to keep it fault free. It looks like all complaints about this model come from UK - maybe there is something wrong with models exported to GB. I really can't believe that oil-leaking rovers, mg-s and jaguars are more reliable.
General comments?
The car is very quick comparing to other manufacturers with similar engine (90HP). It has a comfortable ride, better than much larger cars that come from Germany. It's cheap to run, parts are not expensive. Even the most basic model has some nice touches like wipers with sensors...
Seats are comfy for longer trips and there is enough room for four grown-ups.
