Renault Megane Coupe-Cabriolet 2006

Think twice before buying 1 of these cars. had mine for 16 months now. Currently in the garage for the 5th time for water leakage. Got a call from them yesterday to tell me that whilst the tech expert was re sealing my car he shut the door and guess what - THE ROOF IMPLODED.

Renault Espace 2006

This is the third MkIV Espace dci I have owned, the Renault dealers are all poor ( don’t give one if you want to buy one, give even less once it is bought) the car is good, although it is heavy on front tyres. make sure when you buy one it has Michelin’s fitted. My previous two had Continentals which only lasted 11,000 miles. The extra two seats which I keep out of the car most of the time are heavy, and a pain in the arse to store, although safe integral seatbelts, individual movements etc. The car comes in to it’s own on long journeys though, fantastic on long French autoroutes packed up with all the kids and luggage, beats Ryanair every time! We wish BMW did a seven seater, the dealers, the product, and the customer care cant be beaten! take not Renault!

Renault Kangoo 1.9 dCi Trekka 2005

We’ve just bought this used Kangoo and are absolutely thrilled with it. It’s very easy to drive and is like a tardis when it comes to space. Perfect for a family of 4 with dogs, bikes, buggy etc.

Renault Trafic LL29 dci100 2005

I have driven this van from new and everything was great until about two years in (just when the warranty expired). The first thing to go was the crank shaft sensor. The next thing, around 95k was the clutch slave cylinder, which I gather from all comments I have been able to find online is a common problem with this and all vans with the same body type (Nissan and Vauxhall). It is not a small job with these vans to fix it either. All that taken into account I would definitely buy a Trafic again, the only change I would make is to get a tail lift door instead. It is great to drive and on long journeys it is not as tiring as a car is. If only Renault would get it together with their customer services for issues that are clearly design flaws, hence the 4 stars instead of 5.

Renault Megane Coupe-Cabriolet 130 dci auto privilege 2008

Must say I’m really glad I bought my car before reading the tails of woe this forum contains! I’m very pleased that, so far, mine is almost perfect. Before I bought I tried all the competition (Peugeot, Vauxhall, Volvo, Saab etc) available & decided that it was the best of the bunch for me. I also know of two people locally who are now on their second car & have been very happy with both of them. My heart goes out to those who’ve not had such a good experience. Only had it for two months (since Feb 08) & 3000 miles but it has stood out in rain, hail, sleet & snow as well as glorious sunshine (albeit a bit chilly). I’m pleased to report that not a drop of water has managed to get into the cabin. The roof has been up & down quite a bit already. The heater works well to keep the front seat occupants warm on frosty mornings with the top down but it can get a bit chilly in the back. I do find the heated front seats a bit strange as the centre gets hot but the side supports stay cold which is slightly uncomfortable. Contrary to popular myth it is big enough for 4 adults as long as they are no all over 6ft like me. Rule of thumb, I have found, is that the front & back seat passenger on the same side should not really have a combined height of more than about 11ft 8in for comfort. I find the back seat with two over 6 footers in is still quite comfy (with shorter people in the front) & there is more head room in the back than my Vectra hatch! You can also get in & out of the back seat while the driver is still sitting & the roof up. Our 130 dci auto gives good if not spectacular acceleration & currently about 38mpg in mixed use. I’ve seen figures in the 50s on the computer traveling on the motorway at a steady speed (70) & good A roads but tends to get knocked down again by the slow crawl in traffic, which is to be expected I suppose. Handling, brakes etc are good bearing in mind the torsional stiffness of the roof is missing & it does tend to rattle a bit but not unduly for this type of car. Definitely more of a cruiser than a sports car; but hey, who wants to go fast with the top down anyway? BEWARE. The auto diesel model service interval is only 9000 miles & not the 12000 as per the manual & 18000 for the petrol models. Ok if you want to leave it on the drive but a pain if you want to drive it a lot (which you will). The way we are going it will need servicing every 6 months!

Renault Megane Coupe-Cabriolet 2005

I love the car Dynamique dCi 130 6 Speed, economical, however I do have a water leak that appears to be coming in from the wing mirror, the Renault service department told me to park uphill as they could not find where the water was coming in??? Also, when I start the engine the message says check injection with the service light on, car is not due for a service for another 11k miles. Has anyone else had the injection message showing as Renault says they cannot find a fault?

Renault Megane Coupe-Cabriolet 2004

I was unable to start the car with the button and the clutch depressed, only with the brake depressed. I trawled down to the dealer and they were unable to spot it, so I asked how much for them to keep it and they sort it out - £35 an hour and a days work. I trawled through the net and found an article with exactly the same fault but no answer on how to fix it. Just in case anybody else has this problem, look under the clutch pedal and there is a plug attached by wires that leads to the ignition circuit, inspect them carefully where they come out from the plug, I found that although mine appeared intact, one side was not, so you squeeze the sides of the plug and it comes out and bit from the wiring. Plugged it back in no problems since.

Renault Megane Coupe-Cabriolet dci 106 dynamique c/c 2007

I bought the dci 106 dynamique c/c and I can honestly say I’ve never driven a better car. The miles per gallon and drive are fantastic not to mention the build quality and the lack of wind noise. I feel sorry for the people who have given it a bad review although I suppose you only go onto a website like this if you have had problems !!!!
