For the way the Megane drives you can put up with the interior. Trust me ;-)

My mechanic has banned me and everyone in the family to buying French cars. He said that some engineering is a bit too weird for his liking to work on.

don't blame him for that , I have 2 friends with pugs ( i nearly bought a 307 myself ) and they are both having hell problems with their froggy cars, some are just plain weird and every time it costs them a bomb to fix

LOL the engines are OK, as you see in the mini and the Focus diesel, its just the rest is junk

Time for a new mechanic! I've now had the RS250 for 2 years and 40,000km and not once has anything gone wrong

*touch wood*

No way! He was the head mechanic at one of the Holden Dealerships for many years and left them cause they were pricks to him. Has his own business and I believe half the owners had defected to him!

He hates all Holden Korean cars, hence maybe another reason to leave.
