Renault Megane-Anyone Got One?

Having to buy a sensible car and have found what I think is a good deal on Renault Megane Expression Auto-just wondered if anyone has one and whether they love it or hate it?

We have! Well, it's a Megane somethingorother. Bought it when DS1 was a couple of months old after our beloved elderly Polo was written off when hit by a van while we were on our way to hospital. Now there was a birth story I told a lot...

Largely feel pretty neutral about it. It's fine. We considered, and rejected, the Focus because I don't like the driving position (very high dashboard and I'm a bit of a midget) and the Golf because the boot was smaller than the Megane and you can't pull and release the seatbelts without totally retracting them (we had a car seat with a base that stayed in the car fixed with the seat belt and you have to completely undo that every time you put the seat on because you can't pull out the belt more than once).

Biggest loves of the Megane is the sat nav and the switch to turn off the front airbags at the side of the dashboard. So can put DS2 in his rear-facing car seat in the front if I want to

The dealer, Renault London West, was crap though. Useless at returning phone calls, got the delivery date wrong so I had to arrange the insurance etc twice, broke the sat nav while they were fixing something else, etc etc.

Hope this helps!
