Bought as a second car in Nov 2010 almost on a whim, because I was taken with its appearance and popularity. The plus points are that it’s an enjoyable car to drive; it’s comfortable and quite spacious. It’s also very economical, easily returning 50+ mpg in the urban cycle. The bad points are its failure to prevent water ingress and, I’d guess, resultant electrical problems; the electric windows and the ECU being markedly vulnerable. I spent nearly £1,300 in repairs and maintenance on this car in ten months of ownership. I’ve traded it in and would counsel against anyone buying a Megane of this vintage. Pity, because it could have been a class leader, but for its failings. Hopefully, Renault have improved the reliability of subsequent models.

I can honestly say that I have not had a days problem with my Megane. Only have 25,000 on the clock, and now thinking about getting a coupe. I would highly recommend. I have had not problems with the servicing either. Wests in Cambridge have been great when I needed to use them.

Never buy a Megane, I have covered 29000 Miles in it from new and I’m not sure were to start about telling you all on how awfull this car is. It’s given me so much trouble in the past 3 years, I would need a few hours to tell you about it. When you look at the reliability surveys online and you see that this is the worst, trust me it’s not joking. I’ve seen them and I thought, it can’t be that bad, honestly its worse than that. Never ever ever buy a Megane or a Renault for that matter because I have learnt after owning 2 of them. I gave it one star (thats me being generous about it) because of the shockingly bad mechanical & electrical reliability.

An excellent family car, plenty of room and boot space. Good looking car and interior, nice to drive and quick for a 1.4 16v - all i need for mainly around town driving. Problem with squeaking front brakes, car only has 5000 miles on the clock. Will be taking it into Renault and expect it repaired under warranty as it seems to be a common fault that Renault are aware of. Had a problem with an annoying noise when heater fans were on - turned out the pollen filter was full of leaves, surely with how long they’ve been building cars - this is the basics of good workmanship - why can leaves enter parts of the car mechanics ? After 2 weeks there was a strong smell of fish in the car, turned out it was something to do with the aircon - after having the aircon cleaned out twice - all has been ok, not what you expect when you buy a new car. My last car was a Clio, overall i am happy with Renault cars - no serious faults, just daft little things.

Good quality build and practical car. Cheap to run and insure for a saloon. Handling a little clumsy but otherwise a good buy.
