after reading the forum im scared that im not going to have enough money to keep the thing on the road.it just seems on here its problem after problem after problem.is there anyone that has had a trouble free megane.i havent got any spare money each month to throw at the car and was hoping to have a trouble free drive for a good few years. the question is

DO I CUT MY LOSSES NOW AND LOSE MY £200 DEPOSIT?????????

i really do need some advice i am worried sick that i have made the wrong choice in buying this car

many thanks

andy

Most problems will of been ironed out by 07 but saying that all cars have problems, i wouldnt worry if something does crop up you have this place to research for the information you need.

Oh and ive been lucky so far with my Megane *touches wood*

Ive recently brought an 03 megane 1.9 DCI with 67,000 on the clock and I love the car, its mint and touch wood it stays that way.

I had a 2004 Hatchback Dynamique before I got the CC one, and the only problems I had were brake pads needing replaced and a window motor, which was replaced under warranty anyway. Despite being told not to touch a Renault, I didn't think I'd have the problems I've had with the CC because the Hatchback seemed alright. I've definitely seen the other side of them now. The CC's a beautiful car, and it would break my heart to sell it, but I'm starting to think I should be looking into other possibilities for cars.

I bought a 1.4 brand new in 2003 and finger crossed nothing major with it
just a coil went and had to replace the battery apart from that trouble free

to be honest hun every car has its own set of problems
try looking on the bright side of owning the megane .... elctrical faults happen to all cars .. general wear and tear every day problems are common fault on cars too
i bought my megane last spring and i will be honest.. yea i have had a few issues but not worth worrying over .. get warrenty and ull b fine

i may be wrong but your better of losing your £200 i have a renault megane and its problem after problem the amount your paying you can get a better deal of div make everythink on megane cost a bomb to fix ie headlight can cost over 100 if you cant fix it yourselth so lose £200coss trust me your lose more then that after a year

No don't be silly! Every car has it's problems. The facelifted model had most issues ironed out.

I have an '03 Mégane - which was supposedly the worst year for problems and I've had very few, minor issues. Had it for a year now and put 14,000 miles on it - I love it.

well i went ahead and bought it.....and absolutely love it,so comfortable ,cruises well.and im getting 41 to the gallon which aint bad for a 1.4 i swuppose

Yay

Ive just popped out for an Indian (Chicken Madras, egg fried rice and plain naan) and my dci 120 is on 38.8 mpg, maybe time to chop it in for a 1.4???

Problem-free cars don't exist, even "quality"brands like Audi and Mercedes have their problems!

Just inform yourself well when you buy a car, i.e. don't buy a 2002-2004 Megane. From 2005 onwards, even the Phase 1 Megane is reliable.

just done my first full tank and the mpg finished on 39.9 after resetting it.i ve got a very light right foot....im a hgv driver and when im in the car i like to relax and cruise.im absolutely lovin the car its a 1.4 extreme,very comfortable,enough gadgets to keep the missus out of it i paid £6,200 for it.1 owner,im the second on a 07 plate and when i got it last week the speedo was on 5889.all colour coded bumpers.i love the looks of the car absolutely stunnin.when ibought it there was no parcel shelf went on ebay and picked one up for...............99p 9.99 delivery.better than 69.95 that renault quoted.....allin all im well happy,just a few mods to do now i.e front speakers...but its all money

Yep problem free other than those created by myself, and with some careful talking Renault UK have been kind enough to sort them out!

101% happy with the car, in all aspects, and renault as a whole.
