2000 Renault Megane Coupe Sport Alize from UK and Ireland - Comments

6 months after getting the car the gear box support bolt sheared after pulling away at a roundabout. For once Renault service was very good and they fixed it immediately.

Alternator belt slipping after 24000 mile service.

Paint bubbling on rear spoiler.

Great looking exterior, dull interior. Very comfortable, especially on long journeys.

Great fun to drive and very responsive at higher revs. Well refined, decent build quality (especially when compared to my old Saxo)

Good selection of toys for the money. Air con is great and the sound system is especially good. Great 6 speaker setup.

Dealer service especially poor, and expensive. Am now using independent Renault specialists.

I have just purchased the same model and one of the faults with it is the paint has bubbled on the spoiler too!!! I guess there must be some sort of factory fault with them.

I have had a Megane coupe new since 1999, I'm now on the third spoiler since new, just got home yesterday and found severe paint bubbling on the nearside of the spoiler so looks like the forth spoiler about to be fitted to the car for the same fault, last replacement was part paid by Renault am getting a bit fed up of paying for what seams to be a design fault in the Renault. Would like to hear any feedback from people with similar faults. Been an absolutely fabulous car apart from the paint and a number of spark plug coil failures.

I have just recently purchased a Renault Megane 1.6 Alize (T-Reg) 1999.

I can only seem to get about 33MPG and that's quite bad considering my previous one (1998 S-Reg) did about 55MPG.

Anyone know why this could be?

By the way mine is yellow and I have the same problem with the paint on my spoiler too. Any idea how much a new spoiler would cost?

I am having problems with the paint on my red Renault Megane. The spoiler paint is bubbling. I have had it resprayed 4 times and need advice if there is a technique to solve the problem.
