The Renault Megane Coupe is an overlooked sporty hatchback 

I have the Megane Coupe 3 for 2.5 years now but with the 1.4 130 turbo engine, remapped it to 165hp and it drives amazingly! Also installed a 9inch Android infotainment and it really gave a more modern and fresh look to the interior. For 6K euros I could not be any happier. Very good presentation and keep up the good work!😁

I have the 2.0 180hp coupe and i love it. That engine seems unbreakable and still after many years i enjoy getting in that car.

I have a manual 1.6 petrol 2009 Renault megane. Lovely car to live with cheap to own n never skip a beat. Currently heading towards 82000 km

I have the 1.5 diesel Tom Tom edition and I have to say I love it. Not the quickest thing but get it in second and put your foot down a bit and you soon take off. I love the feel of it, the "wide stance" with the wheels pretty much as close to the corners of the car as they can get. I don't really notice the firm ride, it feels fine to me. Had it since may and it's about to go in for my first mot with it.

My neighbour has a 2008 renault laguna 1.5 diesel I was in it its very comfortable he never had any issues with it.

I bought the GT220, same power as a G7 GTi, I love it, solid engine! Great drive.

My mother-in-law had a Megane in the 90's or 00's, can't remember, bless her soul.

Awesome presentation as always. You deserve much more views. Keep them coming!

I own a 1.4 TCE GT Line. It's a lot of car for the money, if I could change anything I would make the suspension softer and lower revs in 6th gear at 70 MPH (2800 RPM). Other than that it is a great car, I have owned if for a year and no issue yet, infact it just passed it's MOT with zero advisories.

1.5 cdi is a great enigne, my dad has done over 500k km's on them. No real problems.

Cool review ! It is nice to see a review of the base Megane 3 Coupe as it is often overlooked by the Renault Sport version of the Megane. I personnaly have one of this car, a Privilege trim version with the 2.0L turbo 178hp gasoline engine. The extra power really highlights the capabilities of the car and turns it into a fun little GT. It has its faults, but it sure has some qualities. For the value, it is way cheaper than its german rivals :)

Ive a 12 reg 1.5 dci coupe, bought it for 6k 7 years ago, passed every NCT, never any issues, im NEVER selling it.

really underrated channel

This generation Megane in Grandtour guise with a 1.5 dci diesel engine is an absolute best buy alongside the Škoda Octavia when looking for big economical chunk of a car. They are absolutely everywhere over here. Not fun, not especially good quality but best bang for your buck.

They are a good looking car, almost up there with the scirocco. I liked the looks of the mk1 coupe when I was a teenager. I guess they weren't the most reliable (didn't seem to see them on the road very long as far as I remember) Nice video again JJ 👍

Great review as always. It is a nice car, I really like French cars for their quirkiness. The radio and multimedia controls are typical french as Peugeot do the same. I actually see this more as a hatchback than a coupe but technically it is a coupe due to the 3 doors. I really like the instrument pinnacle.

I remember taking one of these for a test drive when I was looking at buying a brand new car about ten years ago. Even though we booked the test drive, the Renault salesperson could only spare us ten minutes of his time and the test drive consisted of a drive 100m along a trading estate road. Liked the look of the car on the outside, not that keen on the inside, and really didn't like the manual gear shift feel or the ride. Keep up with the great videos on congratulations on the 10K subscribers.

Great video again! I agree, I also think this coupe version is gorgeous! Even though I'm not a fan of calling these stretched hatchbacks 'coupes' really. My wife had a Megané III (diesel estate) over a decade ago, out of all French cars IMO Renault was trying to be the most 'German'. That said, the Megané III was okay, aside the Mrs having hard time keeping the sheet metal in it straight, (LOL, she's actually a good driver, but this Megané was truly haunted by bad luck), we only had some annoying sensor issues on freezing weather. We learned the hard way that Renault's problem in our country isn't really the reliability per se, but the service network simply not caring. Most authorized Renault garages also service Volvos here, and Volvos are popular in business market. You can take a guess which one takes priority in the service, your privately owned Renault, or the 20 business owned Volvos in the parking lot.

Great presentation mate as always

My ald fella had one of these back in the day. With the poor reliability of the “shakin that ass Megane” fresh in my mind, I had my doubts when he chose it as his company car. But it was faultless. And at last check it’s still on the road!

I always wanted one of these, I still like the Renaults now.

I have the 1.5 diesel auto and I love it! Mine will get up to speed very fast! I love my car! I love Renault too

It's a good looking car, reminds me of the Astra GTC but the GTC just edges it for me. This Megane (from just a cursory Google) isn't the greatest performer considering that the insurance and road tax aren't the cheapest.

I have the 1.6 gt-line 110HP. Its my first car and i love it so much😍😍😍 But i want to chiptune it, and put a remote controled exaust in it just to make it more sportier. None of the less i still love it as it is😍😍

Good, looking cheap coupe but, like you said in your review, there’s a lot lot of competition in this market sector and the GTC and Scirocco both have the edge on looks imho

I got mine with a 130 TCe 1.4 petrol dirt cheap. It drives well and looks fairly cool. But engine is shakey when its cold, seems to be this way from factory and you cannot do anything about it. Used prices for these are really low. Fuel consumption is meh. A bit too high. But for the price I paid it is hard to get anything nearly as cool and good to drive like this sporty megane.

I was actually going to buy one of these before, nice cars 👌

Backdoor JJ seemed to be sulking today, looked a bit under the weather he did!

I’m getting mine on Monday in white

I have got exactlly this model, engine and color, only different equipped. This car you have is great equipped because I have automatic air con., which is controlled by a silly button and is unbelievably annoying. The manual knobs are way better. Another thing is that I don't have any keyless. Which means that I must insert the card into the slot all the time and the slot is in a horrible place behind the gear stick. And the stereo is a really bad joke. Without that sat nav it has horrible logic of control, and the power of the audio system is lower than low. And there are millions of other things that annoy me about that car, but yeah, IT IS VERY RELIABLE.

Why does it have 2 different wheels???

Not a bad car. i have the same engine but a year older. Looks nice, is reliable. But is noisy at speed and 1.6l isn't fast. But I don't care about that. Only real problem is backlight on the rev counter that sometimes flickers (seems to be a singular issue with this one car). Also the lack of cup holders: Excepting single one that can't fit anything bigger than a 330ml can of coke. And even then I'll be punching it when changng gear. Biggest issue in 2 and a half years ownership is replacing a brake caliper... And the fuel cap solenoid that fixed itself somehow. That would have been an easy job if I needed to replace it. Honestly I think it (and Reault overall) gets overlooked because its French (insert old joke here) and gets tarred with the same bush as Peugot and Citroen

Wondered if any owners could give their opinion.... I'm just over 6ft 3, would I have any headroom in one of these? or not even bother trying!

I have one question you may be able to answer. There are two little things that look like tiny speakers on each side between the windscreen and doors and I cannot figure out what they are!

Mind you I don’t know why they put the cup holder where it is. I’m constantly trying to find a way to not spill my coffee

I have one its great.

Lovely car, Renault are F1 engineers and their mechanicals are superb in my experience. The rear end is fugly.

Interior bodywork looks great performance shit

Disagree I think it looks a touch ungainly. The front end is overdesigned and the back end looks squashed. I have never looked at one of these and even considered it to be just about pretty let alone very pretty.
