2004 Renault Megane Dynamique review from Australia and New Zealand
"Quirky and very lovable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front Indicators (both sides) have bad connections - need to wiggle to get them working. Renault have trouble repairing.
Bottom and Top Engine Mounts have failed - changed under warranty.
General comments?
Performance / Economy trade-off is about as good as it gets.
Can't really comment about handling as I haven't had a chance to get it to the track yet.
Just love the shape - the love / hate polarization is a great talking point - I love it and that's all that matters :)
The car is very easy to live with- a little wide (mirror to mirror a little wider than my GQ Nissan Patrol), however the car easy to park, a nice wide boot opening, and an extremely quite and comfortable cabin environment.
Nice use of plastics giving a quality feel to the cabin and binnacle.
Stereo good enough for my 43 Yr old ears.
Love the car - looking forward to the Diesel sports model to be released soon...
