2004 Renault Megane Sedan 1.6 litre

Summary:

A very nice and very well build car

Faults:

Left front headlight broken, after about 150 km.

The Renault workshop replaced it, for free, of course. (I waited 12 min in the workshop, no problems.)

General Comments:

I dont now why some consumers of this car have had so many problems (Is it true?), the Megane is very popular in Sweden and the reputation is very good (almost as good as Volvo). I have 4 friends with newer Megane models (1 hatch 1 sedan and 2 touring models) the cars have run something between 12000 and 65000 km, they have had no problems at all and they find them very good. I think this is the best car, on the whole, you can buy for the money, its really worth its price. Very nice to drive and you really feel the safety of the car. I hope that the Renault cars have the same quality all around the world.

1995 Renault Megane Coupe 2.0 16v 150 hp

Summary:

100% fun in a wonderful package for a nice price!

Faults:

I think Mégane is a very reliable car. Few things have gone wrong.

Rear electric windows mechanism/engine stopped to work. Usually possible to repair rather easily. It gets bad connection because of verdigris. Just polish the connectors and solder them a little and it will work again!

Battery changed once.

Wheel bearings changed once, maybe faster worn because of my big wheels.

Driving shaft gaiter on one side changed once.

Water pump changed once.

Except for service according to the service manual, that´s all in almost 50000 kilometers and 6 years!

General Comments:

I love this car!

Mostly because it drives like a dream and accelerates fast and fun.

Both acceleration and top speed is really good.

100% pure amusement on roads with little curves, it handles so well!

Consumption; you can drive this car both with economy and fun! But as always the more fun you have the more money you will spend. Although it´s definitively worth it!

The looks of this car still makes my heart beat faster. It attracts both men and women, old and young people, and makes them turn their heads with excitement in their eyes.

Sporty, nice and fun design. The ellipse-design thinking is very nice, and you can find it throughout both interior and exterior. Nice!

The trunk space is good, considered it´s a rather small sports coupé. Although the opening to the trunkspace is rather small.

I think a full grown person wouldn´t want to go touring Europe from the backseat of a Mégane Coupé. Great comfort in the front seats, but for an adult the space in the backseat is a bit to small for long journeys.

However, Mégane Coupé has so many wonderful features that it´s definitively worth sacrificing a little bit backseat- and trunk space!

2000 Renault Megane Coupe Sport 1.6 16v

Summary:

A lot of fun at a low cost

Faults:

Loose left door 2000km.

Engine failure (!?!) 12000km.

Loose engine.

General Comments:

15" wheels won't keep it steady at 200km/h. Lowering and 17" make it a lot better.

Strange position of the steering wheel and seats.

I rebuilt the drivers seat to fit me (I'm 185cm).

Very low fuel consumption.

I'm having problems with what I think is the engine immobiliser but Renault cannot find a fault. It is becoming very unreliable as I don't know whether or not it is going to start. It is a 1999 v reg renault megane coupe sport 1.6 16v. Has anyone else experienced any problems?
