![]() ![]() You do get a fabulously comfy ride but the handling isn't that exciting, mainly because the steering is a bit numb. Odd ommission, this, considering that Renault sells (or at least sold) itself on safety. Despite the high specification Renault has relegated stability control to the options list while it's increasingly standard on family cars in Europe these days. Mégane sales are up a comical 129 percent versus 2009 and while you could argue that buying discounted cars like the Mégane will hurt residuals, many of those customers aren't likely to buy another new car for years, by which time it won't really matter what you drive – they'll all be worth nothing.īefore we get carried away, though, I do need to remind you of what you're not getting with when you buy a Mégane. Demented, isn't it? A family-sized estate with dual-zone climate control, cruise control, Bluetooth, alloy wheels and a full integrated TomTom navigations system all as standard for less than the price of a Fiesta with a lower specification? Now that's what I call a selling point. Right now the Grande Mégane, the estate version tested here, costs the same as the five-door hatch so you get all that extra space for exactly no extra cash. To put that kind of value into perspective for you, my sister just paid more than €19,000 for a Fiesta 1.25 Titanium.Īnd it gets better. That's base-model supermini money, for heaven's sake, while a top-of-the-line TomTom Edition like the car I'm driving (with the same 1.5 dCi 86hp engine) costs just €18,800 without scrappage or €17,300 if you have some scrap to scrap. Even if you ignore the Government scrappage bonus of €1,500, a well-equipped 1.5 dCi 86hp could be on your driveway for €16,300, or just €14,800 with scrappage. Thanks to a variety of cashback deals and discounts, Renault has knocked around €6,000 off the price of the average Mégane, and not just the gammy petrol models that nobody will want off you in three or four years' time – I'm talking about the Band A diesel models, too. That means that the Mégane has lacked an edge over its rivals since it was launched a year ago but now it has the mother of all recession-friendly selling points: Price. And it's green but it's not Honda Insight or Toyota Prius green. It drives decently but nowhere near as well as the Ford Focus. It's a pretty car but not handsome like, say, the Fiat Bravo. Remember when most people sell their Car they put in a price that they would most like to achieve.Let's be honest here, in the family car class there are other vehicles that garner a lot more positive press than the Renault Mégane. Limited takes no responsibility for sellers not attaining these types of car prices when selling their Cars or for purchasers not being able to purchase a Car at these prices. Bear in mind that the car price you see is often slightly higher than what you might pay when you actually make it to the forecourt or the private sellers house - the actual car price will depend on your negotiation skills!
