RENAULT MEGANE (the newer shape one with the big bum). Have you got one and do you rate it ?

[NomDePlume]

I'm changing my car in a cpl of months and I like the look of the new megane, all the write ups I've read/heard have been good. Safety-wise they look excellent and the interiors are nice (much more so than the Peugeot 307).

Is there anything I should know or are you 100% happy with yours ?

Yes, we've got one.

We've got a 5dr 1.6 Megane Oasis. They had an offer on when we bought it (Oct 05) so had a lot of extras free. Not bad on car tax, and get on average 38mpg.

Servicing costs at a Renault dealership are quite high (eg - compared to Ford)

Dh is 6'4, and I'm 5'8 and both find it comfortable to drive. Both the ds car seats fit fine, but if all 4 of us go out, ds2 infant carrier has to go in the front passenger seat, as dh knees are up around his neck!

hth

and yes, we're happy with it!

They are lovely we have had a big bum car, was missed by all when it had to go back.

Very safe, interiors great and funtions on steering wheel are bliss.

Go and have a good look at some.

Thanks for these replies

I drive a ford at the mo and am very happy with it, but it is time for a change. I expected the servicing/parts etc to be more expensive than ford anyway. I suspect the interior space is very similar to that of my Focus, therefore I have no qualms about fitting the family in (3 kids).

I think I'll go and have test drive or two.
