Megane 2 1500 science 80
Discussion
Hey guys. I'm new to the page, just looking for advice. I'm going to look at a 54 plate megane dynamique 1.5dci 80. I'm just weary about the horror stories of reliability issues both mechanically and electronically. I'm very aware of the reputation Renault have and hence am weary about getting it. Again I'm just looking for advice and opinions. I'll be doing 400+ miles a week.
