Renault Megane 2016 (ENG) - Test Drive and Review 

Yes, yes whatever, if I want to choose between Megane and all other cars in his class I would choose Megane!!!!!!! Tryed practicaly all of them, yes Golf and Focus as well, but no, thanks!

Your reviews are great - so much useful real world information - like the headrests impacting the front seats, and the water dripping into the boot when it rains. Really well done - thank you. And I like the humour also :)

I have bought such Megane with 140 HP bencin motor Intense half a year ago for my wife. She is very happy with the car, everything is great, nice design, comfort and reasonable price. Good quality of materials inside, great looks outside. Best car for the money.

We need this test driver, best balance of information and jokes.

I quite like this car. They made a few compromises making it look that good, but if you're able to put up with those compromises it looks like a massive improvement over the old one

Very comfortable French cars that doesn’t try to be a sports car or pretends to be the best in class.

great review Marek!

I like the point you made about the boot door and rain- never thought about that. Good job!

big fan of the reviewer, keep it up mate

I love your way to review cars, +1 sub

Great review Marek, as always.....

My favorite test driver with my dream car. Great couple.

Great review as usual marek like to see you on top gear

you re the best Marek!

Good and very well-spoken review :-)

I just had a test drive today and I'm decided that I'm going to buy it later this year

Always love to watch your reviews. On top of the relevant info about the cars, you have an excellent sense of humor. Good job! I am a bit intrigued by the Megane GT, but the tech features/touchscreen appear too overwhelming for me + the massive paddle shifters seem to obstruct the operation of the stalks + radio controls. Well well, guess I'll have to give it a try.

Just bought a megane 1.6 coupe 2009 model black with side and back tinted windows (not sure if legal if anyone would like to shed light). Great fun. Feels very low but comfortable. I couldnt be happier with my decision. Good looking and feels great to drive.

"you can mask the smell, but nobody is going to believe you are growing lilies in there" This just made my Friday!

Hi Marek! I just stumbled upon your channel and I gotta admit you got me ! Your reviews are really entertaining and informative, though you can be quite harsh in your verdicts and you seem to have a beef with French cars haha. However, I'm planning to buy one of these Meganes, respectively the one you testet above. I did a trial run just 2 days ago and I was really amazed. I've been driving a Fiat Bravo for the last 4 years and I loved that car, but it's time for new one. Also test drove the Golf (110hp) and the Mazda 3 and both cars were pretty decent and relaxing to drive. It was just that when entering the Megane and igniting the engine there was this 'that's it' in my guts... That spark was just missing in the other 2 . Can't tell why. However, keep up the good work and don't lose your humour!

It looks great!!! I want one in the UK

I think these are nice even today, modern design 7 years later and comfortable ride

I feel like the Megane 2 is still the best one in terms of comfort and soundproofing, which is surprising since the design is a lot more angular compared to the other iterations.

I must say I disagree with a lot of whats said in this video. I have the GT ver. myself and one of the reasons I bought it is the excellent space and height on the back seat. My son who is about 1,89cm sits comfortable in the back behind the passengers seat which is one of the few cars this size that can be said. And yes its a big advantage with the large headrests since they are actually usefull to rest on driving long tours which is more than can be said about a lot of other cars where i honestly dont know why they bothered putting any in cause they are often useless and uncomfortable. They Can be put down to fold the seats if you dont pull the front seats all the way back but how often do you do this anyway. I also dont know how you reach the trunk space of 330 l. In mine there is a spare tire and still its 380l to the hatch. All cars have larger or minor disadvantages but after driving the New civic, the new Mazda 3, the guilietta, The Astra Gtc and more I still find this the best hot hatch (GT) in its price range when all is compared. I dont see any other Hot Hatch with this pricetag, space, design (is a matter of taste), equipment, performance, comfort and practicality around as the GT. Yes the Back bumper is to wide, the driving programs personal adjustments are a gimmick and very little can be adjustet besides whats already there, nothing advanced there at all which is a shame, but there are many good details and things seems thought through and the car is comfortable and really fun to drive (GT) and the car really has two sides with the programs but is still economical to drive given its a 205 hp engine. Youll never lack any equipment by my standards and best of all its all included ! so it wont burn a hole in your pocket like with certain other manufactures.. I can only say go for it !

Amazing review, way better than many accreditate megazine

Spot on Marek. I have 1.2 TCe and dumping is horrible. Noise over larger bumps is almost unbearable. Whole car rattles after only 78k km. And my even jerks when accelerating and decelerating. Peugeot is much better brand. Even Citroen. This is my first Renault and also the last.

wonderful car, excellet review!!

+ys spy I thought about second hand car reviews, but there are two problems with that: 1. I don't have a source of used cars 2. Every used car is different, so the review would be basically a list of everything that could go wrong with the car.

my current Megane, is - I think, 4th generation, pre-facelift ,and that's the best looking megane!

hi , I like more and more your reviews and it will ne nice to have some old models car reviews . I ask you to please make a complete review about honda cr-x del sol elekric roof.

I've had Megane 1 facelifted and it was damn reliable car. Maybe it was only me, who was lucky :) Marek, are you planing to review Renault Talisman?

I'd say as a new car it's not the best choice, but get one that's old a year or two with low mileage and since it's Renault, price will drop and you'll get a very modern looking and comfortable car at a reasonable price. Also 1.5dci 110hp is the one to go; tried it 1st hand against Golf 1.6tdi. Golf is faster 0-100, but that difference happened from about 70 to 100km/h. In return 1.5 engine is well known, polished, didn't have turbo lag, VERY economical and with a 6 speed gearbox will satisfy everyone's needs unless you want a really fast car. For that you're going into the hot-hatch category anyways.

I had Megane I, II, and now have III :)

excellent review, thank you :)

i have bought this car. Tomorrow i will get it!

Great job, Marek. I like your descriptions of different cars. They are... practical in all ways, and I guess some dealers are started to hate you already. )) From myself, it is a shameful matter, but my Touareg GP 2008 has the similar problem with a boot door -- the water flows from the top, where the hinges are, when you open it in the rain, or with melting snow on the roof. You got a Niagara falls on your bags. What a fail. All other issues are reasonable for a french car. It is still for a plain and not very much practical consumers.

Very nice review! In this class what is more comfortable (suspension). Megane, leon, golf, focus, astra or 308?

in comparison with same generation Clio is it more spacoius in the habitat space?

Which one you prefer to buy this car or Peugot 308

What would be your choice Mégane / Clio/ Corsa/ fiesta / seat/ VW polo?

1. Megane 2. Astra 3. 308 5. Golf 7. Focus

i think the seat leon is the best choice , i'm gonna have one next year (FR with 2,0 tdi 150 bhp)

personally the looks are stylish and I could live with majority of the negatives the thing that puts me of would be the handling I like responsive steering

Just had guests staying here with an estate version of this car. I noticed that when the doors were open water from the roof dripped into the car. There does not seem to be anything to stop this. I know that gutters are so 1980's, but they should have overcome water dripping into a car by now. RE the back headrests. Do they not come our? I had a Mk1 Megane, pre-facelift, and I had to remove the rear headrests to be able to fold the seats completely. Just stored them in the rear footwell.

Could you test the new Megane with TCe 140 engine?

My parents have Megan I for more than 20 years and still performs well. I have Megane II ( 1,9 dci ) which has 15 years and if the fender apron does not starts to be rusty I would not think about a new one ( has got 190 000 km - fully reliable - If it is produced these days I would buy it again - for 14 years I did not touched anything ) . My brother has Megane III and fully satisfied ............. and because I can not buy Megane II again, this week I bought Megane IV Limited TCe 130. Very nice and satisfied I must raise the hat in front of the designer who designed the Megane II and IV .....................

get the review of Astra Estate with duble turbo!

love my car

Hi Marek. I always appreciate your reviews. Do you plan to review the Subaru Levorg ?

Hey Marek. Are you planning to do a review of the new 308 GTi?

Someone wearing such a beautiful coat, is necessarily a good counselor

What about sqeaks and rattles in in this new generation of Megane? This is unfottunally the biggest disadvantage of former generation (Meg 3), but it is very, very comfortable car and excellent long drive cruiser. If we are talking about keyless, or hands free card, in my opinion, it is the best system on the market. For your information, you should go around the car from the back, and there will be no problem with locking.. New Meg 4 grandtour is just great, and possible my next car. 1.5 dci 110 is the best diesel engine in its class. Otherwise great review, thanks.

What about other engines? like 1.6 16v petrol??

My next car (even if it's electric) is gunna have an app that makes the engine sound like a Ferrari V12 and make me drive like Ayrton Senna (in autonomous mode.)

Megane 2 (facelifted), for it's EURO 3 economy :3

The car seats are well profiled but seems to hard for me. Soft suspension but hard seats.

I don't get the complaint that the car locks itself? It also unlocks itself when your walk up to it, so it's hardly a problem. Plus if you don't like it you can turn that feature off.. seems a strange thing to try and make a negative out of.

without a doubt the megane 2 if you can get over the boot bump its the more spacious than the mk3 and mk 4 and adding a kenwood bt system i have 7inch touch screen with sat nav tv digi tuner front rear cameras...etc love my opening glass roof and every concivable extra including a full sized spare wheel...had it from new its now 9 yrs so far cant seem me swapping for any of the new Renault on offer

What a great looking car! Sleek. stylish and super economic. The headrests are a major turn down for me, way too big.

This car is very beautiful, Renault makes some of the best looking cars these days. Review doesn't seem quite objective imo...

Difference in engine sound (between Sport and Comfort) is noticeable when doing hard accelerations in first 3 gears. I don't see the logic behind testing it while maintaining the same speed. :)

Those headrests are kind of a deal breaker. I want to be able to see out the back for goodness sake! That said, the I might still consider buying a Megane GT without any options because there aren't many cars like it

Is it quieter than Honda Civic IX? I mean especially road (tyre) noise and wind.

Best looking Hatchback is the Mazda 3 ;P But the Megane gets close^^

Have always preferred the Clio.

If you are like me , and you don't like how it looks, what's left are only the negatives.

how is this a review? it's nothing but a rant on a car you personally dislike, that's easy to see. sure, it's got its weeknesses, especially the one with water dripping inside the trunk when the hatch is opened. but other than that, this car does by no means deserve the hate you hold against it... and saying the possibilities of the settings menu is "over the top" is just ridiculous. of course you can't expect to understand every aspect of it within one hour of test driving, but when using it regularly, this just comes natural. obviously you don't like having options... and you don't like this car...

Sure as hell a big improvement over the old gen, but I would still take the Astra.

Central locking a pain. Gear change notchy. Vibrations in cabin. Otherwise nice car.

you like tha massage, hey Marek :D

which colour option was this megane and I don't mean just white

I really don't like front headlamps, or better to say strange LED lines under the headlamps.

I'm buying this car

I WISHD ID HAD SOME DAY GOLF. C-SERIES MERCEDES. TOYOTA YARIS VERSO. VW TIGUAN

V

how are the speakers in this car???

I got mine for 15k eur the boss was at 21k eur

imo, the best looking c class car is the New 308 still.

I don't even want to search and see how the dashboard looks with the 7 inch, They should have implemented the screen much better and not just flush with gigantic bezels

I don't looks of it,previous generations looks the best in my opinioj.Before that I like Megane I coupe and II cc the most. Interior I never liked to much in any of them.

Very nice car , 30k for a megane 😱😟 Imagine how much the R. S will be

😂

i have a megane tce 130 zen petrol turbo year 2018 , this gay has it wrong for it ,hes inkompetent..

SUCH AN UNPROFESSIONAL REVIEW...lol if Renault was a person, i would say he or she definitly cheated on you in the past.So much Hate on basicly every aspects of a car...

Zdecydowanie wybierajcie mazde 3 . to nie jest megane ten uwielbiany przez nas kierowców

This guy is not a car journalist, just someone who tries to be funny (but he isn’t)...😟😟

Plastic front wings

idk man everybody hates renault.they arent as good as a golf when it comes to durability,they cant be reliable for a long time but they are amazing cars and if taken care of they will hold up pretty good.economical as hell and cheap to fix idk what do you want more from a regular car.....

I think this guy has it out for Renault. Watched his review on the Clio too - flies in the face of what everyone has said, both as owners and as reviewers. This is similarly nit-picky for no reason. Removed from my recommended list!

You always talk about negative things in your review. You are not objective, I think that is because you have a vw-mania...

Nemaš ti pojma Poljak, za bolje od Peglice i nisi...

Astra's better looking.

There's no F!@#$ way this car can compare to Golf VII and yet the price is about the same. Come one Renault grow up

who wants a french junk car

this car sucks
