i had one of these cars back in the day (2003) bourght new and owned for 3 years without any problems,sold on to a friend who still has the car and has not had any major problems with it.

i assume they replaced the cd player for free and renault paying 70% for the windows is a goodwill gesture as it well out of warranty.both headlights have gone i assume you mean the bulbs,not expensive just a pain to fit..

dont think you have much to complain about on a car nearly 5 years old

I think you could buy any car from any supposed better quality manufacture and have the same or worse problems.

If you check out the ADAC reliabilty surveys you will see that Renault rate very highly.

Check out the VW Golf forum, plenty of broken windows on there !

Best Regards

Billy biker,

Let me cheer you up a little if i may?

First off ive spent 30 years working in the motor industry {sales} cars and bikes, i worked for a family buisness for 13 happy years with the Renault franchise from 1988 to 2001 eventually ending up for 9 years of that time as Sales Manager,When i left the company and car sales in 2001 after 20 years worth in the job, i purchased a Laguna 1.6 16v Sport-Alize phase 2 ,which NEVER caused me a problem in the 5 years i owned it, i sold the Laguna cheap to my nephew who was stuck for transport and decided to treat myself to a newer Renault model, i had been a Renault man for 13 happy years as a job and a further 5 years happily owning the Laguna, yes sir, Renault was for me,! so off i went to the Auction in 2007 and bought myself a 2003 03' Renault Megane" 2" 1.6 VVT 3dr "Dynamique".with only 44,000 miles on it a good condition car, dynamique is the right word as its never failed to amaze me, 4 years down the line after much persistance from me the Renault Man its going ive replaced it with a slightly older BETTER SAAB, here is what "failed on the car during my time of ownership, and i do mean failed i am fastidious at looking after my cars, X2 front road springs {both broke!} x1 wiper motor, x1 alternator, x2 batteries, x1 card reader, cambelt changed with modified "dephasher" AND cambelt position sensor, -{cost £500!!} x3 widow motor 's x1 indicator/ wiper dashboard operating swiches all one unit cannot be bought seperately!!! £150.00{on taking the replacement part out of its renault box new it was FAULTY, !! } in short never ever, ever again will i buy ANYTHING French, peugeot Citroen today are little better, Renault have lost THOUSANDS of loyal owners down to their new generation's of "plastic" cars from 2002 onwards, NOTHING whatsoever is repairable anymore everything is a cheap quality "made in china" replacement SEALED part, Mechanic's yes thats the word not Technician's are little more than "fitters" today they repair NOTHING, take the faulty part off- take a new one out of its box! thats about it, and the price of the new one out of the box?? absolutely rediculous for a little piece of curcuit board plastic WITH a built in life expectancy,! and what is the ONLY way of diagnoising these meriad of faults? why with a lap top computer of course, in short the residule value of ALL these newer model renault's is down to "Button's" they are worth NOTHING secondhand, thats newer model Megane,Scenic,Laguna,Espace, my goodness me, you cannot fix any of these faults at home anymore which is just the way they want it today you have to see at the very least an auto electrician motor cars of the 21st centuary?? you CAN keep them!
