Renault Megane Sport Tourer 2007

1 star review

Nothing but trouble with my battery for the last three months. I’ve put a new battery on twice, but still being drained by something. Checked all the usual things that can drain a battry but I’ve left nothing on.

Renault Megane Sport Tourer 2007

3 star review

We have a Renault Dynamique Sport Tourer 2007 reg, purchased from a Renault dealer via "Renault to go" in 2008. We have had a clutch judder since purchasing the vehicle from Renault’s dealer in Norwich. The car is still under warranty (until April 2010), but Renault UK have refused to replace the clutch to date and will do nothing to help us. The judder has become so bad now when the clutch is warm, that it is now unsafe to pull out at junctions or roundabouts and having a baby in the car, this is really frightening me. I’ve had two near misses and am just waiting for that serious accident to happen, either to me, or to someone else. We are currently threatening Renault UK with legal action (we don’t know what else to do!), unless they try a replacement clutch in the vehicle, or indeed fix the problem they have created. Renault UK have confirmed that clutch judder is a manufacturing defect, due to the materials they use within their clutches and is a common problem with many Renaults, not just Meganes. When the clutch becomes hot, the materials used cannot grip due to lack of moisture, which causes the clutch to slip, resulting in the judder. Apparently Renault used to use asbestos in their older clutches, which worked very well, but are no longer allowed to do so under modern legislation. Renault are apparently working on a solution but will not confirm when this will be sorted and will not replace the clutch in view of this! In the meantime, everyone with a dangerous vehicle is left still driving on the road with no other option. I’m just waiting for the accident to happen. Then, if me and my baby boy are still here, I shall be suing them big time!

Renault Megane Sport Tourer 130 Dynamique 2007

5 star review

I’m really impressed with this car. It’s pitched at the mid-market ’family car’ end of which there is loads of choice, but I think it feels a notch above. I have had Saabs previously but frankly I prefer this at 60% of the cost! It’s a 130hp diesel and goes ***** well! Overtaking is really brisk for a 1.9 litre and it cruises at about 2,500 rpm/80mph which keeps the fuel bills down nicely. The suspension is nicely set up where you don’t dread the potholes, and it sticks to the road fine. It’s got all the toys you need except Climate Control but the manual a/c is fine really. Oddly I miss the rain sensitive wipers my previous Primera had but it doesn’t keep me awake at night! It’s not a huge car but unless you’ve got a big family or need to cart loads of stuff around a lot I can’t imagine you’d have any problems with space. It’s a bit of a Tardis! Everything else is covered as you’d expect from a car in the ’noughties’, let’s face it, it’s quite hard to find a really bad car these days. I lease mine, but I think it costs about �17,000 to buy. Not the cheapest car by a long way but I think it represents good value against other makes. It feels as well built as a Golf (the benchmark still). It must be safe (it’s a Renault) and to be honest I can only think brand snobbery should stop you getting one over a Volvo S40 estate or Audi A3 5dr. Renault have never been considered particularly ’posh’ but this car feels really well sorted. I’m converted, Thought I might treat myself to a Laguna next time, but this actually is big enough!
