These all performed well during its test and form part of a safety pack costing £400, which is very reasonable, in our book. Safety is impressive too, with features like automatic high beam, adaptive cruise control and a distance-control alert that warns you of the stopping distance, measured in seconds, between you and the car in front, through the driver's TFT display. Standard equipment is also very generous, with our mid-range Dynamique S Nav car coming with a whole host of kit including sat-nav, reversing camera, cruise control, auto headlights and wipers, 17in alloys, automatic climate control, the lane-departure warning and an 8.7in touchscreen infotainment system. The ambient lighting is a nice addition and changes to a variety of colours, depending on which of the various driving modes you choose, while Guy Bird was also a big fan of the credit-card-shaped key.

One is the lane-departure warning system, which sounds like the driver has a bad bout of flatulence, and has been the cause of many laughs in the car with family and friends.

Unlike some of its rivals, the Megane has a great deal of personality too, and some quirky features throughout. It's arguably one of the best-looking C segment hatchbacks around, and easily more eye-catching than the likes of the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra. Plus, our car looks especially good in this Flame Red metallic paintwork. This latest- generation Megane has some really striking features, bold lines and large signature lights. Although completely different demographics, there's a lot that the four of us agreed on when it comes to the Megane's key strengths and weaknesses.įor starters, the car looks great. You find out the things that annoy you, features that really surprise you as to how useful they are, as well as any technical glitches that may also arise from timeĭuring its stay with us, the Megane has had four custodians myself, regular contributors Guy Bird and Hugh Hunston, and our features editor, Rachel Boagey. One of the great things about running a car for such a significant length of time is that it gives you real insight into what a particular model is like to live with day to day.

It's been an eventful year for the French hatchback, with various challenges thrown its way, including a stint living in London, long motorway trips round the M25, plus various practicality tests derived from family life. After 12 months and over 7,000 miles, it's time for us to say goodbye to the Renault Megane at BusinessCar.
