Faults:

I bought the car second hand and have only had it for 6 months, but problems are emerging. Unfortunately I do not have a warranty!

Brakes are squeaking when lightly pressed - very annoying, but turning up the stereo takes care of this.

The airbag service light came on about a 2 months ago - took it to Renault who said it was something to do with the seat belts. They fixed this (for free!) but it has now come on again.

There is a rattling sound coming from the wheel arch area on the passenger side. I took it to National Auto's to have a look at, but they couldn't find the problem. It now has to go to Renault for them to attempt to solve the problem.

The print on the gear knob has worn off.

There is also a slight rattle coming from the interior roof trim in the back.

The Cd player occasionally jumps even on new Cds.

General Comments:

The actual performance of the car is pretty good. MPG often exceeds 52 and it is perfect for motorway driving.

It is also kitted out very well with a multi stack Cd player, electric windows -front and back etc.

The key less entry works perfectly and is very useful.

It could do with more legroom in the back and a bit more boot space, but overall it is a good drive with plenty of power.

The only real problem with the car is that I just don't trust it. I'm always expecting something to go wrong and with the airbag warning light coming on it is a concern that maybe the airbags won't work.

If Renault could sort out the reliability problems then this would be a superb purchase.

Faults:

Aibag fault present on delivery of car.

Plastic trim on door (external) falling off.

Internal plastic trim (center console/window switch panel..) loose and not well fixed.

Internal roof trim loose.

Switches on gearbox and brakes faulty hence car failed to start on random occasions.

General Comments:

Great shape and the exclusive 'derrier'.

Poor performance.

Great comfort.

Very unreliable due to starting problems where vehicle left immoblised on five plus occasions.

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

Good Car. Great performance 0-60 Mph in 8.9 Secs and a top speed of 126 Mph. Saxo VTR drivers looks at it and snigger untill it takes off from the lights then I have the last laugh. 120 BHP at 5750 RPM.

I used to own a 1999 Alfa 156 1.8L and the Megane feels as quick as it. Good for the Motorway Trips more than enough grunt around 3500 rpm +. My Wife owns a 1.8L 2003 Scenic and it doesn't feel that much slower than my Megane.

Faults:

Nothing really, wouldn't expect it at this mileage.

General Comments:

Although a loverly car and perfect family hatch, one or 2 bad points, fuel consumption is good if you drive very steady, but is disapointing if you keep up with traffic, can be down to 38 average, but can get 50 average. The heater controls are in the way of the gear stick when in 3rd and 5th, you can't alter the fan speed or distribution. Also the biggest let down on these cars is depreciation, we sold it for a 4x4 and lost £7K in 18 months on this car which was £13 ouch.

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong, although the quantity of electrical systems on this vehicle worries me.

General Comments:

The car is extremely comfortable, the seats are padded armchairs, the padding is many inches thick, but still very supportive.

The strong self centering of the steering is off putting and makes it harder work that it might of been. In addition the rear suspension seems to have a mind of its own.

Otherwise this is an extremely well equipped, comfortable, fast and economical car with plenty of space. It also appears to be very well built.
