The Renault Mégane is one of the most easily-recognised cars on the road thanks to the French manufacturer’s “Shakin’ That Ass” advertising campaign. And of course the first thing you notice about a Mégane is its rear end. Whether you like it or not is down to individual taste, but its won enough fans to make it a best-seller. There are five engines to choose from, 1.4L through 2.0L topping out at 136bhp. The new Renault Mégane is great to drive, responsive on windy roads and well able to cruise motorway speeds with nothing but a murmur. The diesel engines are well refined and sound proofed, although reports suggest a little weak. Power steering, plus a 2-way adjustable steering column is standard across all models, as are anti-lock breaks. The Mégane self-centres well, giving you cause to keep a firm grip on the wheel. All round visibility is superb and inside, the trim is excellent with great ergonomics, dials and instruments to boot.
