Quality metal and paintwork

According to the reviews, “Renault Megane 2” well protected against corrosion. The machine is not afraid of exposure to water, moisture and chemicals. However, the quality of the paint leaves much to be desired. As evidenced by the feedback on “Renault Megane 2” for three to five years of operation, mass produced chips. This is especially true of the front bumper. It literally showers the small dots. Polishing will not return the previous appearance of the paintwork. It should be accepted. Vulnerable places are the edge of the wheel arches and sills. In these places the body is particularly susceptible to peskostruy.

Dimensions, ground clearance

Depending on the type of body the vehicle has a length of 4.2 to 4.6 meters, a width of 1.69 meters and a height of 1.36-1.42 meters. Varies Renault Megane II and ground clearance. Its value is from 13 to 16 cm Is quite small, given our road conditions. This is especially true on long-wheelbase wagon “Renault Megane 2”. The springs on this car is quite soft. As noted by reviews, “Renault Megane 2" can amount to three to four centimeters in loaded state.

Interior

The interior Design is typical for 2000 years: the smooth shapes and rounded lines are everywhere. Interestingly, between the front seats is an armrest. However, it is not regulated. The bar is decorated modestly. On the center console – easy CD-radio round “dial” of climate. By the way, the stove on “Renault Megane 2” works well, what to say about the conditioning. The latter may fail due to lack of refrigerant or defective sensors.

The Main disadvantage noted by reviews in “Renault Megane 2” is insulation. The movement clearly heard the sound of the motor and the rustle of tires. In addition, the sedan “Renault Megane 2” does not possess the quality of finishing materials. Plastics are mostly hard and starts annoying squeak and vibrate. Another problem faced by owners of Renault Megane II – is water in the cabin. How it gets here? It's simple: gradually polluted the drainage system in the area of the wipers. Eventually the moisture starts to penetrate into the vehicle.

Among the advantages of the car "Renault Megane 2" of the reviews note the comfortable seats. They can be fabric or leatherette. To sit in them quite comfortably. During long journeys the car does not cause fatigue. In this respect, the French really tried.

The Trunk

If we talk about the hatchback, the boot capacity is small. It is only 330 litres, but it can be extended up to 1190 litres when you fold the rear seat backrest. Also transformirovalsya second row and universal “Renault Megane 2”.

Opel Astra reviews

“Renault Megane 2”: specifications

On the Russian vehicle market was supplied exclusively with gasoline engines. If it is found “Renault Megane 2" diesel, this imported model from Europe.

The Base for the “Megana” is the petrol unit of 1.4 liters. It has a capacity of 82 horsepower. According to reviews, this power is clearly not enough for normal city driving and beyond. The optimal choice will be1.6-liter engine. Its power is 115 horsepower, which allows you to overtake with more confidence.

New costs about 30 thousand rubles, so many simply cut it and put new firmware. At the same mileage often goes out and engine mounting. Because of her motor starts to work unstably and vibrate at idle.
