The third generation Renault Megane is a reliable, economical, comfortable and safe family car. Find out my arguments for this claim by watching this whole review.
I have this car for almost 9 years. Traveled multiple times across Europe and the car never broke down. It is surprisingly reliable and the fuel efficiency is excellent (1.5 dCi).
Excellent review! I bought the estate 2011 105 bhp model 1.5 DCI as my first car and i am more than satisfied. Perfect car for normal people with normal expectations - reliable, practical, also good looking even for today standards. Wish it had a bit more ground clearance though, for worse road conditions. Cheers!
We had a Renault Laguna rxe grand tourer for years was an excellent car never been able to match it.reccently bought the daughter a Mégane music petrol model excellent thought out car a very nice drive the mechanics are the best I've seen everything is nicely located and easy to work on very economical all-round brilliant design well thought out
Renault Megane. Bigger inside, generally more reliable, more suitable as a family car. The only advantage of the Ford is that it drives better, but it is quite cramped inside for its size and for this class and reliability was just average in the best case.
@@joelgikubu686 if you do often longer trips, then 1.5 dci as it is a reliable engine, already legendary used also by Nissan, Mercedes or Dacia. If you will use the car mainly for shorter trips, I guess the 1.6 naturally aspirated petrol will work just fine as it is reliable and cheap to maintain.
@@joelgikubu686 Go for the 1.5dci. A bit slower than the 1.6 petrol but way better fuel economy everywhere. But aim for the 110hp higher trim versions, as lower trim 90hp versions don't have much in terms of equipment. For repairs, I've done nothing but regular maintenance and some interior bits with mine. 1.6dci is also a very good engine, faster than the 1.6 petrol, has the same fuel economy as 1.5. Parts are a bit harder to find and generally more expensive, but still a reliable workhorse.
@@JurnalAuto one question at the beginning of the video you mentioned the types of engines Renault Megane have you said 1.2turbo petrol, wasn't supposed to be 2litre petrol
@@BORN_OF_GOODNEWS hi! No, I really referred to the 1.2 turbo petrol (115 HP) launched in 2012 on the Megane when the first facelift took place. That engine had big reliability issues. Regarding the 2.0 petrol one, that is a nice engine in both naturally aspirated and turbo versions. Some reported high oil burning in the naturally aspirated one, but apart from this it is a reliable engine. This does not seem to apply for the 2.0 turbo petrol engine which had no notable issues and is a great engine!
Beautiful design. The engine is quite slow and old, but it is reliable and this is what matters the most. I had a version of the same engine on a Megane 2 and I had no issues with it. The fuel consumption is a bit high even compared with other petrol engines, but at least is reliable.
