Total 14 Renault Megane owner reviews
Pros: Very good handling, control and grip. Comfortable seating and good interior materials in relation to price. Enjoyable original audio system and navigation with good coverage. Visual design and rear lamps. The car attracts tremendous attention in the evening. For 115hp very perky.
Cons: Running gear is constantly very serious problem. It's just like living on warranty repairs, and it's just 23,000km on good on asphalt roads. Draw conclusions yourself.
Overall, everything that goes beyond normal maintenance up to 23,000km and within 2 years of purchase is listed as:
1) In all these new car lights (LEDs or halogen) wet condensation forms inside wet weather which reduces light efficiency and looks disgusting - Warranty claims it is normal, of course, nonsense. At least the moisture disappears completely within 1h when the drier time remains and no traces of moisture remain.
2) Installation of missing exhaust pipe mounting. (for a fee) The manufacturer does not install it directly on the sedans, but without it, the tailpipe runs over the air by knocking the bottom of the pan. Absurd action because the underside of the car is no different from the bottom of the caravan or hatchback that have this mount.
3) Adding fallen heat pan. To this problem I have added paragraph 2 on fastening. The pan was swept by the muffler.
4) Front lever change. For incomprehensible reasons, he cracked at any movement abnormally.
5) Changing the crankshaft pulse sensor. The car dropped on the road and worked with a terrible twitch without speed. Good luck, not at the moment of overtaking.
6) Replacing the interior (rear) lighting block. Lamps burned as a New Year's tree. The contacts were not even tightened. Weakness in all these auto- full internet.
7) Amber-light in the interior of the interior, which is in the door and panel. Unevenly burning and twitching. - The warranty is refused because you can't notice the problem exactly when they dash.
8) Regular electronic failures. For example, everything is ok, but then the music goes quiet, but shows that it sounds (radio, flash, etc.). You have to restart the car or turn on the car, but the computer itself does not turn on the screen. You have to restart the car again, because without even the air will not blow in the car.
9) Attaching the rear fog lamp. Inside the bumper is lying, but it has not been attached. Touching moves 1cm.
10) Rattling plastic body for the interior rear-view mirror. Catch a piece of paper inside to be stuck.
11) All car shock absorbers are some kind of dung. Abnormal rattle (still) changed by the guarantee 2 times, but the problem does not disappear because if the manure is replaced with the manure problem cannot disappear. When the air temperature is lower than +8 degrees, they work perfectly, but abnormally. Let's not talk about winter vsp, deaf remains in the saloon. : D (The problem for them is just rattling, which comes at a lower temperature than their power)
I'll drive leasing period and return the car back. :)

Pros: Economical, rugged car. For 1.9 diesel 130 HP is good power. Relatively sporty, driving comfort is good because it can't be said to be hard and also soft, and with all its curves held well. If someone wants to have a two-door car (coupe) in life, then this is definitely the best option or very close to it, because when the roof is "laid-out," there is a lot of space in the boot. Can even put a baby stroller. As the convertible attracts people. On hot, sunny days, I have come to the conclusion that this is a very good car purchase because there is no "need to end" in a car with a roof. Spare parts prices are also positive because most of them are at least one third cheaper. Has been driven by three Audi models and all are much more expensive to maintain.

Pros: Renault Megane Grand Tour 1, 5dci 6-level manual gearbox. A good little diesel engine, sufficient for Baltic speeds and economical (I have a heavy leg, in summer, a combined consumption is 5,5l). The engine except regular maintenance does not require anything else. You can easily get in back of four people, there is room for both legs and head, where body would be up to 1, 85m. The driver can seat as wants, and have access to all panel buttons. In trunk Emaljungas big babycart fits in without being dismantled and another space remains for a suitcase. The suspension durability is good.
Cons: There is no place for coffee cup!!! The steering wheel is too sensitive. Rattle of head restraints. Low quality plastic. Ice on wiper blades at winter.

Pros: Have to understood that car is a budget option! So comfort is not like a BMW or Mercedes but acceptable, taking into account substantially lower cost. There are no problems with electronics, even though many complaints about French car electronics. The thing is to take care of a car! Suspension is ok. When I bought car (used), it was in perfect condition - and still no repairs and it is running just file. I like its shape - kind of mid-sized cars, while quite roomy. Fenders and bumper of a plastic! It's a good thing, because even if you scratch it - won't rust!
Cons: The car is not for aggressive drivers because it is not too chipper, but for a peaceful man will be super!
