Pre-Purchase Information Gathering Megane 1.6 16v Euro5 Petrol

Unread post by 10mbc »

So I just sold one of the cars and now I have an empty spot on the driveway :) While I never had a proper Renault, I had a 2008 Dacia Logan 1.6 16v petrol and, while the car was pretty basic, the engine was just great. The power was not out of this world, but the sound was just excelent.

Looking for a perfect combination with this engine, I think the one that could suit me the best would the the Megane Hatch starting from 2012, being Euro5 so maybe a bit futureproof. I would like to have heated seats and automatic AC and, of course, a manual gearbox. Because I am pretty tall, I would need one without the sunroof. I am in Romania, so I would be looking for a LHD car.

If you have any useful information, please let me know of the pitfalls of this car and maybe other things to look for. I can see there are 2 versions of this engine: one with 110bhp and one with 100bhp. What is the exact difference between the two?

Thank you!

The reply section here is emptier than my wallet after dealing with my 18 years old Citroen C5.

Sorry that nobody has responded, but maybe there are no members with experience of that particular car.

The Forum tends to focus mainly on Citroen, Peugeot and DS vehicles these days. You may be better off joining a dedicated Renault Forum for Megane info.
