After three months of driving the Megane, here are the only thoughts that matter. Does Flaviana like it, what problems were there, and would she buy one?!

Flaviana as usual the star of EV reviews. 😊

@MrKlawUK 11 месяцев назад

Flaviana is both fun to watch but also important I think. Way *way* too many channels reviewing EVs are men and often come at things from a driving or tech perspective and not so much the ‘living with’ practicalities. Flaviana brings important alternative views

@bcm70 11 месяцев назад

If car companies were smart they'd have people like Flaviana testing their cars before release.

@rodden1953 11 месяцев назад

My thoughts exactly

@brianokeefe6250 11 месяцев назад

@@bcm70 Cars are too often designed with men in mind eg seat belts and seat design the designers need to take heed of criticism from women like Flaviana

@carlarrowsmith 11 месяцев назад

@@brianokeefe6250 I find that is not true at all. Seats are designed to fit a huge variety of sizes and that is why they are not perfect for everyone. If they were designed for men, they would be wider, have larger bases and taller backs but then others would find them oversize. The designs have to be a compromise.

@TiberiusDarkforge 11 месяцев назад

Flaviana should be employed as a consultant by the car companies, as she raises so many valid points that the designers clearly haven't considered. Belated happy birthday Auralia (apologies if that's spelt incorrectly)

Flaviana: "...you don't want me to become unhappy..."😅 Love the way you almost growl and Andrew grins nervously.😄 This was a really useful review, Flaviana, you always find things that no other reviewer notices and I really like that. I can see we'll soon be having a separate channel a la Transport Evolved take 2 for a "Shicken" update..love the way you pronounce chicken, Flaviana. Anyway how did Aurelia become ten years old? Seems like only yesterday she was a tiny little thing. Thanks everyone, what are you getting next I wonder? 👍

A nice review with additional non car related stuff added in to make us laugh. Flaviana adds the magic ingredient to the EV recipe. She takes on many roles in the video by firstly starting as the car reviewer, directing the camera shots, giving her opinion about the car’s features, advising us about chickens as a pet, and providing her feedback on an introvert getting involved with a school camping trip…. Overall an amazing review, and Andrew added some information which I cannot remember 😂

@gaztambo139 8 месяцев назад

Never driven the car, but can see that Flaviana is right about the gear and wiper control positioning being a major design flaw. They should ask her to drive the prototypes for a few weeks, before they commit to the final production layout, as she identifies things the ‘experts’ seem to miss.

@JimT-RCT 11 месяцев назад

Another great video with Flaviana, I got some laughs along the way. As the Megan is going, is there any chance that you can do an update on your Panasonic Etherea air-to-air heat pump? I would hope that with your solar, and the fact that gas prices when through the roof, it was the right choice.

@MrEV 11 месяцев назад

I will try and you're not the only person asking! Finding time has been difficult recently. Our solar has made little difference in winter as we get so little from our 2kW array, but it easily covers the cooling in summer. Trying to calculate all that will take me ages but I'll have to see what kind of data I can extract from the Zappi.

@CymruDad 11 месяцев назад

Been waiting for this one to get Flavianas thoughts! Please don’t stop reviewing cars Flaviana - we need your real-world opinion! Those were my worries about the Megane - that the back seat area might feel claustrophobic. Our two boys already complain about the back of our Leaf (Mk2) being a bit too small on long journeys up to Wales & Midlands. I need to make an appt to view one at the dealer and have a test drive. Shame - as other than that it seems to be a very good car!

@MrEV 11 месяцев назад

Let me know what you think when you test drive. I really don’t think it’s *too* bad in the back. A sunroof/light roof would have made such a difference though. 😞

@CymruDad 11 месяцев назад

@@MrEV Will do. I was thinking that too - if a car is made with a slightly smaller/low roofed rear seat area then a sunroof makes that much less apparent. Wonder if a future update might add that as an option.

@TommyBoay 11 месяцев назад

Hello EV family ! Compared to the IONIQ5, would you say that the trunk is massively smaller or rather close ? It’s hard to tell from pictures / videos. Thank you for the great review !

@MrEV 11 месяцев назад

You could probably fit another large luggage bag and carry-on bag in the IONIQ 5's trunk. That'd be an interesting comparison, actually. I tend to film the same test with the luggage we have (still to edit for the Megane) so I could perhaps make a video easily comparing to Niro, Model 3, Model Y, IONIQ 5 and whatever else I've done it with!

You would have thought that after the years they have been married that Andrew would know better!! 😆 Fabulous real life review - as always. Andrew, at least your wife knows a bit about cars & can at least recognise the one she is driving. My wife is "car blind". Not only can she not tell the difference between the car she drives (Karoq) & others like Kodiaq, Range Rover, Tucson etc. She's even been known to try & get into the right type of car but, the wrong colour!!!! 🤣 For what it's worth I agree that the Megane interior is very dark. It needs a light roof lining or better still a pano roof. It's also too expensive - as are all new cars & especially EV's. Our first EV (later this year) will be a used model, probably a Kona. Far better value than anything brand new.

@kathrynmoll86 11 месяцев назад

Flaviana, I see the lever design problem. Most steering wheel levers get in the way of each other until you are familiar with their location. In some way, it is better that you make the error of turning on the wipers when trying to reverse the car, rather than put the car in reverse when reaching for the windshield wipers! Yes? Although we're sticking with our TESS, we all get a kick out of the difference between you two!!

I parked next to one of these at the supermarket here in France last week, it is a good bit smaller than the e-Niro though have to say it looks great. Don't like the letter box back window and Flaviana is right about the gear selection which is badly sited. In France the pricing of the Renault is the same as the new Niro EV whereas in the UK it is priced well below it would seem. Of course French people buy Renaults so the e-tech is becoming a common sight here now, though was outsold by the MG4 last month..interesting. Do you prefer it to the e-Niro ?....You have the patience of Job Andrew and clearly outnumbered in the family, I recommend a well equipped shed. 😊

@wolfgangpreier9160 11 месяцев назад

Both, E-Niro and Megane costs more than Model Y. And both are smaller. MG4 looks interesting, but cheap? Not anymore. Costs the same as a Model 3 SR.

@MrEV 11 месяцев назад

It’s a tricky one. Overall I think I prefer the Niro but the Megane’s infotainment and route planning is far better. I’ll look out for Meganes next time I’m driving through France. They’re still relatively uncommon in the UK.

What is it with EV’s and square steering wheels? The new Volvo EX30 has one too. Back in the 70’s the much maligned Austin Allegro was slated so much for its square steering wheel at launch that British Leyland changed it. I guess the world wasn’t ready for such avant-garde innovation back then!
