How do I turn this damn thing off! You know, the thing that adjusts the volume the quicker you go. I've got a 10 plate Clio with Renault Carminat TomTom and I can adjust the "Volume Speed" up and down but it won't let me turn it off. All it does is adjust the sensitivity! You could turn it off...

It's OK really. I haven't been to a petrol station yet and am convinced the fuel gauge is broken as it doesn't move. I can get used to that very quickly. Still miss the Megane, think I always will. It's not "never", just not "now" and I should be grateful at 23 to have a brand new car anyway...

Already have, I'm a member. Just going to leave it standard though, had enough ballaches with warranties and finding out how Renault have an amazing aptitude for wriggling out of just about everything, I figure I'll leave it standard then when it invariably goes wrong I can honestly say it's...

They'll lose a lot of money on the Megane, put it that way. I'll get this "maturity" out of my system over the next 3 years then go buy a 250, brand new this time though.

In my quest for maturity and economy, it has led me to where I am now. A year ago I purchased a 55 plate Megane 225 FF, with every option going. I adored that car. FRSH, new brakes and tyres, the works... But something was wrong. It had done 50k and it didn't feel right after a few weeks...

Hi guys, I take delivery of my white Clio GT shortly and plan on replacing the standard ugly 16"s with some nicer 17" alloys, preferably black. Could you all please recommend some nice black alloys, preferably with pictures that you think would suit a Clio. Remember, much as I'd like to keep...

Mine's on finance and has a very good GFV, else I wouldn't have bothered. If you engineer the deal correctly you won't have an issue. All new cars lose money if that's what scares you then buy one that's a year old. maviso5, do you have any pictures of your car?

I mate, speak from experience only :D I've only got a diesel because it's a trade off in terms of saving for a mortgage, when I've got my mortgage I'll go and buy a Megane 250 :D It will be your pride and joy but just be careful with mods etc and build up some no claims, you'll be amazed at...

Why bother re-mapping it? It's going to be slow regardless. Not only that a lad your age (judging by the fact you can't afford the insurance for a 200) won't be able to afford the unnecessary repair bills if any modifications you do invalidate parts of the warranty. Just drive it sensibly, keep...

I'm awaiting delivery of a Glacier White GT dCi as we speak. Will post pictures when I get it for those interested. If you want something that looks relatively nice that's cheap on tax and good on fuel, then it's an alright buy, if a little pricey. If you want sporty performance, buy a 200.

Either one is poor in performance in terms of what I've got now. The diesel has cheaper road tax and cheaper insurance and will average better MPG than the petrol, fact. I get what you're saying though, but they're all going to be wallowy and poorly built, their Renault's! I can't afford to...

I'm bored now. 19mpg out of a 1.6 engine regardless of what you're doing is poor economy. I'm stating that I get comparable if not better by thrashing a 2.0l Turbo. For the same fuel economy I know what car I'd rather have.

Agree with this, even being 23 I'd much prefer a clean standard looking example. Yours certainly looks clean and that seems a good price. That said, I'm sure you're aware of ever increasing fuel prices so cars like this are less desirable. I'm glad the dealer took my Megane 225 back else I'd...

Sigh, ok, "However i am unable to drive sensibly all the time and average 28mpg with lows of 19mpg." You suggested that at worst your 1.6 Petrol reaches lows of 19mpg, which is terrible. Driven hard, my 225 bottoms out at slightly more than that and that's a 2.0 Turbo. I was just picking up...
