1997 Renault Megane RT 1.6 from UK and Ireland

Faults:

Oil leaks from various places in engine, indicator arm snapped. Grinding from driveshafts?

General Comments:

Car felt older than 12,000 miles, stable at speed, economical, fragile trim, rough engine, unfriendly dealer.

P/x'ed it for a Nissan Primera, all my problems have gone!

1997 Renault Megane Cabriolet 2.0 16v petrol from UK and Ireland

Faults:

I have had the car 18 months and the car steers towards the left and therefore caused wear on the front left hand side tyre which has had to be replaced.

The car also started to backfire which was due to a faulty coil which has now been replaced.

For 26 thousand miles all four brake pads have now been replaced, which the never happened when I had my peugeot 205 CTI!

General Comments:

Performance is excellent, but wear and tear are costly for a car with 26 thousand miles on the clock.

26000 miles for a set of Brake pads is not bad going at all!!

I have had my megane cabriolet since 2005 oh dear nothing, but trouble in and out of the garage. Electric ignition replaced once now going again, electric window drivers side needed fixing, seat belts twisted-the most concerning thing is the fact that my car is only two years old and the front seats are very worn, I am a small lady and only have passengers occasionally.Would not recomend this car to anyone

1997 Renault Megane RTE Sport 1.6 petrol from UK and Ireland

Faults:

After 15,000 miles, nothing gone wrong.

General Comments:

Although it has a SPORT label, it is only a 1.6 engine, so not fast, but she looks good, handles good, and is comfortable.

One minor problem is the dashboard layout, the top row of indicator lights aren't visible, you have to duck down to see them.

1997 Renault Megane RT 1.4 petrol from UK and Ireland

Faults:

Nothing yet, touch wood.

General Comments:

Love this car! It was a step up from my previous and only other car, a 1.1 Fiesta, so the engine size and general comfort was a huge step upwards. Great touches include the radio control on the steering column and automatic sunroof.

Can't really comment on the reliability of the car as it's only three months old, but it goes like a rocket!
