shock result for 2008 Megane - HandCart

According to the latest "Which?" car reliability survey, the 2008-on Renault Megane is near the top of the list for cars up to 3 years old, and still holds up well when over 3 years old.

Rather an about-face from the preceding model.

I could make a car out of paper and twigs and it would be more reliable than the 2002 - 2008 megane.

I think there's a general view that Renault quality improved after about 2006: is there anyone with any experience one way or the other?

The dogs in the street know that nobody with a functioning brain buys any Renault product and expects it to be reliable-where the devil they got this spin from is anybody's guess.

They owned part of Nissan by then, so using their expertise has probably made their cars abit more reliable...

shock result for 2008 Megane - Snakey

In the last few years I'm pretty much started to ignore these sort of surveys. They seem to form a pattern depending on who does them.

For example,I used to read auto express but that seemed to become a VW/Skoda fan magazine and the surveys started to reflect it.

Now I buy a car on price, equipment and the quality I perceive when driving it.

Auto Express seems to be the only magazine where an Audi can win a group test over a BMW. Either that's for the reason Snakey suggests, or possibly they have some testers who don't judge a car only on how it performs on twisty B-roads.
