2006 Renault Megane CFA CRUISE CONTROL review from Egypt
"Great value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far nothing has gone wrong with the car.
General comments?
My car is a Megane CFA 1.6 16V gray eclipse (B66) sedan with cruise control.
I was confused at first between the SKODA OCTAVIA A4 and the RENAULT Megane, but the guys at RENAULT really convinced me to by the Megane, besides why not cuddle yourself with the superb shape and the luxury inside.
The electrically assisted power steering is awesome especially in Egypt with very tight parking places it is really great.
The brakes are really very sensitive and powerful too, but I guess I will have to change the brake pads more frequent.
The boot is very roomy 520 litre without folding the rear seat.
The car is very stable on high speed and with the cruise control on, driving is a breeze.
At the beginning I was worried about too many sensors and electronics on the car especially the Renault card, but so far not a single fault.
The car is 115 hp which is adequate to my needs especially in crowded streets like Egypt nevertheless with the tiptronic transmission you can change to Manual transmission and get all the power you need.
Fuel consumption is perfect (7.5L/100KM) on high ways and (9.5L/100KM) city driving.
One problem is that the car is really wide and you won`t notice unless you drive it so you have to really watch it in narrow streets and tight parking places (I guess that`s why they provide electrically folded side mirrors).
