2005 Renault Megane review from Egypt
"I wished its performance was as good as its looks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 10000 KM, each time you press the brake, it made a high disturbing sound.
The car does not accelerate when you turn on the AC as well as having a hard shift between the gears. The dealer partially solved the problem by reprogramming the software of the gear box.
There is a problem with the second gear. As you accelerate on the second gear, the car holds during acceleration between the 3600 RPM & 4000 RPM and then resumes accelerating. It gives you a feeling that it had changed shift. The dealer claims that this is due to the fact that the gear changes from Hydraulic to Mechanical within the span of the second gear.
General comments?
The car performance is below expectations; as it's performance with the automatic gear is very poor.
The car is very luxurious. It has a lot of options.
The back seat & the trunk are spacious.
