What to look for? A different car.

French car= Wank, in huge amounts. The only thing wanker than french cars is working on french cars. If you buy one you need your head looking at, Never has a pile of brittle plastic and horrid thin kitkat wrapper thick metal ever been put to a worse use, and the electrics look good......if you like a burnt charred mess on the floor of your car and random flashing lights

Wank.

Yeh the coil packs always go its better 2 change the coils in pairs cause if u replace cylinder 1 coil ur can b sure that no 4 will go 2. Like said above renaults r a awful car 2 work on.

yep, coils are a problem

my mums megane is a 1.6 16v, has got very low mileage (30k in 8 years) and has needed the coils changing several times. Also, the brakes are pretty wank
