Faults:

Nothing went wrong as I had it as a rental and did about 2500 with it.

General Comments:

The general feeling is very positive.

I like:

- Sound proofing: although not the best maybe, but a huge step forward compared to Renault's of 10-15 years ago.

- Suspension comfort: That was a huge surprise in the positive meaning of the term. Very smooth all around, comfy particularly on potholes and bump. However, you need to get to adjust your speed otherwise it's going to overreact. It's not firm and smooth, it's just smooth.

- Auto transmission: Good overall on gear selection and operation. However, it's my feeling that you need to adapt a certain driving manner in stop and go traffic, otherwise you may have your clutch prematurely worn out.

- General fit and finish: Again, a real step forward compared to previous Renaults, however not the best around. That said, much more than acceptable.

- Steering: Extremely light below 30 kph, harder above. Very light while parking.

I don't like:

- Suspension: Very comfy, but might be concerning if you tend to drive sporty. Going over a bump or through a pothole on a fast curve may result in a sensible modification of your line.

- Steering: Light, easy but feeling less.

- Driving position: Apart the latest Peugeot 508, I am really hopeless about finding a French car that I would recommend for its driving position. To me, the steering wheel does not go down enough, always too high. If I level up the seat higher, I cannot see the top section of the instrument cluster. Plus, when I'm high up the seat, I feel as if I am too high above the ground, like almost driving a minivan. If I lower the seat, the wheel is too high. Plus, on top of that the instrument cluster is positioned on an incline so that you really have to look at it from high up for best visibility. Also, like older Renaults, the steering wheel is a bit inclined which forces you to sit higher... An altogether no, no, no.

It took more than 20 years for French manufacturers to find out how and where to install the electric windows and mirror buttons; some day they are going to get their facts together to design a correct seating position.

Conclusion: I travelled on a very few instances in a Renault Megane 4 as a passenger before, but that was the first time I drove one. I really appreciate this car better as a passenger than as a driver.

I won't really comment about infotainment, and such as the only function that I used was the Bluetooth phone connection for calls and listening to music.

Faults:

Nothing serious has happened. Actually the car saw service only one time; they have updated the software and adjusted the doors. Normally Renault cars in Turkey have door insulation problems according to bad road conditions. But this car has went well so far.

General Comments:

It is a silent car. Lots of additions made for comfort by the Daimler Group. Most of the plastics are soft or soft coated. Seats are quite comfy and the fabric looks reliable (not comfortable).

In general this car has good and working options like light and rain sensors, integrated front and back parking sensors, but the music and audio system is below average. You cannot buy anything lower quality than this audio system. If you have the budget, buy the touchscreen version. It is way better than the standard one.

Baggage capacity is fair enough for a hatchback, but still you have the wheel arches. It is efficient enough for a 4 person family.

Automatic A/C is good; air conditioning is something they focused on with this car. I have used a Clio's auto A/C for many years; I can say that it is much faster and accurate.

The engine is good. If you do not push too much, it is economical also. Even though it is a 1.2 liter, it is quite powerful, so I can reach 200km/h on the highway with a full trunk and 4 people in the car. Probably 6th speed is overdrive or very close to overdrive. If you want to make high speeds, you must rev the engine in 5th. in normal conditions

Traction is good; the ESP rarely interferes with the drive. Depending on the quality of the tires, it is OK in both weathers. You can rely it on 120-180km/h after these limits, control feels tricky, but it does its job fine.

Exterior view is good. I like the view of this car, especially at night. Faded lights are really a good thing when you approach the car. I like the look of the car; even though it is a long car for a hatchback, it looks compact.

Also the car is low. You cannot reach every pavement with peace in mind. Especially the front bumper's design is good; sporty, but it allows small crashes like pavements or bars at parking lots.
