Megane 1.6 VVT

[Woody Woo]

If I were to buy a 2007 1.6 Megane, would it be reasonable to assume that:

1. The dephaser problems are fixed.

2. The window regulators are fixed.

3. No more squeeling brakes.

4. Better build quality?

Experience I had with my 06 Phase II 1.6 Auto to are:

1. No Problem

2. Windows rattled if half way down when closing door front doors

3. Brake squealing started near to me getting rid, but not as loud as previous Megane.

4. Initially seemed good, but very quickly deteriorated to numerous rattles, squeaks and clunks ..... oh and a new Auto box after 3,000 miles

Oh well. I was rather hoping that someone would say "Renault didn't get a few things quite right with the early Meganes but have spent a lot of time and money eradicating the bugs. It's now as good or possibly better than any other car on the road."

I might give it a go though. Or wait for the New Laguna.

We have a 1.6,although it is not phase 2.touch wood we haven't had any issues,I have had the car 2 years in October,although it is low milleage.

As you said,some other big companies have problems as well,the bottom line is an unhappy employee might mess up his task and consequently the customer suffers.

With regards to Laguna,I am not convinced with the design,don't know why but it doesn't excite me.Saw a new Mondeo the other day as well,nothing like the photos anyway,no matter what you go for,hopefully it would be trouble free.
