For The Megane is keenly priced and has plenty of equipment. It handles well and is available with some fine engines, including some particularly clean and economical diesel units
Against Rear-seat head- and legroom are poor. The Megane isn't as classy or as good to drive as a VW Golf, and it can't match the best for ride comfort, either
What Car? says
Most versions of the Megane are cheap to buy and well equipped. There are some very frugal engines, too, but the car is merely average in too many areas.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
The Megane isn’t remarkable in any one area, but it’s a decent all-rounder and there’s a big range to choose from.
Entry-level Expression models have air-conditioning, stability control and electric front windows. Expression adds rear electric windows and driver’s seat lumbar adjustment, but most buyers will opt for Dynamique TomTom.
For a fair premium, you get extra kit, such as Bluetooth connectivity, alloy wheels, automatic headlights and wipers, and cruise control, along with sat-nav.
GT Line TomTom models attract a similar premium again, and while you may think that features like climate control, electrically folding door mirrors and rear parking sensors are worth the extra, we’d recommend saving your money.
Renault has been making a big noise about improving quality and reliability recently, but things still need to get better. The brand hasn’t fared that well in our most recent Reliability Supertests or JD Power Customer Satisfaction Surveys.
