But both start fine, drive great in straight lines and, and i have to admit im amazed but they go round corners as well, the seats reach my arse and back and put me behind the wheel, the handbrake stops it from rolling down hills, the plastic is not falling apart like a tower of klix coffee cups and the key fobs well there are three buttons, doors open, doors lock, and unlock boot, even me an inbred renault megane driving ex southerner now living in suffolk has managed to remember which button does what without, and wait for it, without even having to look at the button.
so your choices are clear, leave your job for a company that has a policy to look after its pool cars, or a company that uses a lease company with a higher mileage allowance or put up with the fact that you are driving a pool motor which has been ill treated by both company and drivers alike. or just have a big bag of shut the hell up
back well up...........
Er NO i will not "shut the hell up" and you drive two much newer versions of the Megan so i suspect your problems are yet to come how are they??
And if you only do a couple of miles a day and have no real interest in cars ie buying two the same then im sure that a car that drives straight and stops ect would be just great, all im saying is that many other cars do it better and cheaper!!
Mate, Both cars are fine, thanks for asking apart from someone driving into the front of mine which wrote his off (ok it was a citroen saxo) and left me with a new bumper neither has had a major problem, the wifes needed a new ignition coil which is down to the coil not the car.
we had the wifes car a few years before i changed mine to 'a rattle can' as you eloquently describe them, the reason: i was driving a weekly 650 mile round trip and found a car that was comfortable and extremely economic in the 1,5 dci,
so in summery I have two of the same model with differing motors to suit the purpose they were purchased for which were settled on following many test drives of new cars in the same market, the 1.4 16v does the missus proud round town and when taken on longer journeys (and yes it was taken up north a few times) did just aswell apart from the economy - but to stack a 1.4 petrol against the dcis mpg is not a fair comparison. the dci is for its size extremely competent, drives so well that i manage a 5 hour trek up the a1 without having to stop to restraighten the back plus with its mpg and range i can turn round at the end of journey and return without stopping at a fuel station, factor in the £35 a year car tax cost and i believe im on a winner.
If as you say you did not want to get peoples back up then maybe you should the learn the meaning of positive criticism, constructive comments/statements are always well received sweeping statements boiling down to 'ha ha losers you drive french tat' are not
