The Renault Megane Cabriolet offers decent balance between style,
affordability and practicality. Offering a well-judged combination of good looks
and driver appeal. This Megane is, as its name implies, a Cabriolet - by definition,
an open top with virtually all the structural tautness of a fixed head coupe. Thanks
to its careful
design and body colour, it comes across as an integral
part of the
car, an impression accentuated by fairings that smooth the shape of
the front head
rests
into the rear deck, by way of the hood cover. Sure enough, the result does
make the Megane look like a real sports car rather than an ordinary family hatchback
with the roof chopped off.
If you’re a keen driver, the Megane Cabriolet represents probably the most sporting
example of its ilk. Look for one that’s been used as a second car with low miles
and a decent service record and its hard to go wrong. The Megane Cabriolet is a
tidy handler; if not entirely free from scuttle shake on the worst surfaces. The
second generation 2.0-litre cars are genuinely quick, reaching 60mph in a mere 8.6
seconds.
All the cars in the fleet are not less than six months old.
