For This is the cheapest version of the Megane Coupe, but it looks as smart as the dearer ones, with alloy wheels and front foglights. The standard kit also extends to air-conditioning.

Against This is a fairly feeble engine that doesn't match up to the car's sporty looks. You get much more punch and better economy from the similarly powerful 1.5-litre diesel engine.

3 out of 5 stars

Yes, this model gives you all the style and presence of a Megane Coupe for a bargain price, but not the performance to match. Go for one of the diesel models instead.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

Compared with the five-door Megane, which is generally comfortable, the Coupe has stiffer, lower suspension for sharper handling, so it isn't as forgiving over bumps.

Renault has an exemplary safety record, and this model doesn't let the side down – it has a five-star Euro NCAP crash test rating.

As well as the front, side and curtain airbags that are standard on every model, the Coupe also has front seat airbags, which are designed to stop you slipping under the seatbelts in a crash, and stability control.

There are pros and cons to choosing this coupe over the five-door hatch. On the one hand, the coupe is a much smarter-looking car than its five-door brother, but it hasn't got anything like as much room in the back - and the five-door isn't that great to start with.
