Yes its French no it hasn't broken yet.

Decided I needed something a little bigger than the Seat for use as a Daily and after much looking ( no real idea what I wanted)I found this at a local dealership at the right price.

Yes I know its french and yes I know the electrics will disintegrate before my eyes(oops not good as it has all the bells and whistles), But I personally think it looks stunning.

World Series Edition, what motor?

[iggysport]

Nice choice, Good looking cars these, always thought the chrome things on the front would look better body coloured or gloss black though.

Its a 2 litre privilege with the sports pack bodykit.

Fantastic looking cars these!

[tbc]

looks great in blue and i'm not much of a fan of the new renault

especially the oversized badges on the new clio

With regards to the electrics

I maintain that if your going to buy a car with iffy electrics your better getting an Alfa

[Roadrunner23]

Very good looking and right choice of colour

[MrBrightSi]

I might not be a fan of every hatch now being a pseudo coupe, but that is gorgeous.

Extreme blue looks great on the Megane. Nice one!

I like the WSR/Sport Kit, but the fake central exhaust needs painting satin black to hide it or something IMO.

They all seem to be trying to look like Alfa Breras

I like that a lot IMHO Renault are getting some of their design flair back.

Everything I've heard suggests that Renault build quality and electrics have improved significantly since the merger with Nissan.

Personally I would re-paint the front scoops in body colour for a more uniform appearence.

How is the rear visibility? The steeply raked rear screen suggests that it would be compromised, is it a problem?

What's the interior like?

[pinchmeimdreamin]

I have to admit the rear window is like looking out a letterbox, Thankfully it has front and rear parking sensors so hopefully SWMBO will get used to parking using those and the mirrors.

The interior IMHO is a very nice place to be, the plastics dont feel massively cheap and the half leather sports seats are very comfortable and supportive, (oh and heated which has been a godsend this week) I have only had it a week so still trying to work out what all the buttons are for.

What engine have you got in this mate?

Its the 2 litre NA not the quickest but enough grunt for daily use.

[Butter Face]

Ah right. Not the most popular engine choice but its not a bad one!

Let's hope so!

It all kicked off if i remember with the scirocco. I can remember from that point on, every hatch became a coupe.

However you are right, it does like shockingly like one.

[robsa]

Very nice indeed - looks lovely! And are the electrics really that bad?! Can't recall french cars owned by me and my family being any worse than any other marque to be honest.

Lovely colour too. Very nice and different!

[Hoygo]

Love these,the R.S version looks 100x times better and probably the same can be said for the performance too but i think you know what you want and have made the right choice for yourself.

Not any horror stories with the electrics of latest gen Renaults,just the same niggles in general that any car might have.
