New Renault Megane - very 3 series

[Kangadrool]

Just received the invite... seems there are two versions 1.6 and 1.5, don't know what's the big difference with this small difference of 0.1L?

The new megane hatch and sedan will be soft launched this weekend at wearnes on 7 and 8 Jan. Test drives are allowed.

Bro, lots of difference. 1.5l is diesel turbo. 1.6l is petrol turbo n 205bhp.

Received too via email. Apparently it is an invite only launch and need to rsvp on timing to test drive.

[Kangadrool]

no $$$ buy and no motivation to buy since no real manual. LoL.

Test drive the Megane Sedan yesterday ( premium version ,  1.5 turbo diesel with EDC gearbox) , the drive is really nice especially the power and acceleration was different compare to Kadjar , feel much more powerful and smoother ( in Normal mode), suspension not too soft and hard very comfortable . The audio system with 3D Akarmy's was nice . Noise insulation in the cabin too very good. 

 

Think will sell well .

Went to rook rook see see, but didn't test drive as too long a wait.

 

Still prefer my Megane 2.

Maintenence wise, foreseeable big ticket items to change other than wear n tear stuffs?

Nothing much lar... except for the particulate filter which isn't particularly expensive...

[Ozkaki]

timing belt change is expensive

Test drove the GT model 2 days ago.

The interior really damned refreshing..mini tesla center console..

The comfort mode drive was great n responsive.. The RS sport mode drive was very torquey n Shiok..

Interior space not bad n looks rather comfortable for passengers..

Price wise a bit rigid @ 139k ..if can sign on the spot, maybe 2-3k off the price...

SE was very understanding that Renault is a very difficult brand to accept for those looking at conti cars but I told him this time round Renault seemed to hit the nail with the design n engine specs ..warranty n svc packages not bad..

I told him if this car is price at between 125-130k , they got a great Chance to capture this market segment.. Told him Seat came with so much promises but end up with a whimper due to pricing ..

Those who like a semi hot n comfort hatch , I strongly urge u guys to test drive this sleeper..

Anyway, I'm waiting for his call for the early bird price..

I saw it being launched recently and it looks good. Went to watch a few youtube video reviews and seems nice, especially the blue colour one. 

It caught my attention cos it is using the same engine in my sylphy, mr16ddt, and comes with a better gearbox. Good engine but the various Nissan and Renault models utilizing it is very very rare here.

[Johnny86]

[Kangadrool]

If manual, I may upgrade. But, .....

 

Will probably renew COE for my manual Megane since they are unwilling to bring in.

This Megane is an older model... different from the current one...
