• Renault Megane,Toyota Avensis,Mazda 3- all saloons - Which 08 saloon? 6 Jan 2013 (Forum)
  Engineer Andy has given me a lot of help with  the Mazda 3 saloon and I would value any further feedback comparing the Renault Megane 1.6, Toyota Avensis 1.8 and Mazda 3 1.6 saloons, all 08 moidels,  to guide me to which would be the one to go for. Comfort and quiet driving are important as is a good radio/cd speaker combination and ease of getting into and out of the car - my Megane seats are very low - probably due to age.
• Renault Megane - Car not as ordered 24 Oct 2011 (Forum)
  The dealer test car had the previous 1.5dci engine which although producing higher emissions also had a much better torque curve and produced the torque from lower down the rev range, whereas the car they supplied us with has renaults new eco2 engine which has totally different characteristics and torque etc. As far as I'm concerned the car is not as ordered therefore subject to SOGA and I should be able to reject it however the supplying dealership won't hear of it, Renault uk are just as useless and also Motability don't want to know ( yes it is leased through motability ).

• Renault Scenic (2003 - 2009) - 06 1.6 radio fault 25 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  The clock/temp display being always on is another sign of the fault. We have been told that we can have a new radio fitted by Renault but as there is a back log of cars needing this then we have to disconnect the power supply from the back of the radio to stop it draining the battery until it is replaced (which may be a week or two).
