What kind of car is the 3 cases of the Renault Megane series, we will look for answers to the questions of whether to buy. We’ll also include a Renault Megane III review, test drive and user comment.
Renault continued its Megane adventure, which started in 1995, with the blockbuster Megane 2, and finally released the Megane 3 in 2009. However, while all Megane models broke sales records, the third of the series was not very popular. The reason for this is that it was produced only as a hatchback case. It has already been overshadowed in this market by the fact that it is a multi-toothed competitor like the Golf. The Megane 3 first went on sale in 2009 with the whole world and was replaced by a very different car, the Megane 4 model, in 2016. Megane 3 underwent a major facelift in 2013.
What kind of car is Renault Megane 3?
The Megane 3, which is in the compact class of the C segment, was sold with 5-door hatchback and 3-door coupe case types. In my opinion, the Megane 3 coupe is among the best produced in this class. Authentique, Business, Color Edition, Dynamique, Exception, Expression, Expression Plus, Extreme, GT-Line, Icon, Impressor, Joy, Legend, Play, Privilege, Sport Edition and Touch equipment packages are available. While Authentique was the emptyest in the make-up cases, Joy was the most package in the make-up cases produced later. Likewise, in the first cases, Privilege was the fullest, while after the makeover, the Icon and GT-Line were the fullest. Speaking for the trim levels, the most complete package has many features such as “ABS, ESP, ASR, hill start, R-line multimedia, day leds, cruise control and limiter, 8 airbags, leather seat upholstery, bi-directional digital air conditioning, bluetooh talk, and start-stop (keyless start). The transmission is available as a dual-clutch 6-speed EDC, gearbox as well as a choice of 6-speed automatic transmissions. There are also hatchback and Sport Tourer station wagon body types.

Renault Megane 3 User Review
While looking at the Golf, I suddenly liked the design and started to be involved with the Renault Megane 3 and bought the 1.5 dCi engine. First of all, let me start by telling you about the car. Although there is nothing missing from Golf, I don’t understand how it is not kept. A very high quality material is used in places such as the front chest and inside the door. The rear legroom is much longer than that of its competitors. It is also very satisfying in terms of hardware. I have been using it for 4 years and I love my car. I’ve owned a Golf before, but when I met the Megane 3, I had nothing to do with Golf. It draws attention to itself in design. The performance of the 1.5 diesel engine is very beautiful. There is no such thing as fainting in the city. You can climb as steep and long as you want at any speed. It is also a very economical engine. It is one of the quietest among diesel engines. When the car is idling, you don’t hear the sound of the engine at all. It is top notch in terms of handling and performance. On the way to the holidays, he quickly curls like a snake, even on the roads of the winding Taurus mountains. The feeling of confidence that Megane 3 gives when you sit inside it is great. Better than the usual tough door sound from the Golf is available on the Megane 3. Especially those trim levels that come with their makeup cases are not in any car class. When I did a speed test on the highway, he was able to accelerate up to 200 km/h without any difficulty. It is a car that has received the best in its class award for braking distance. Even at high speeds, there is not the slightest tremor on the steering wheel. When driving on the road, the engine never absorbs the sound of the road and wind. The EDC transmission never makes the gear shifts felt. Apart from that, it is a more performance transmission than DSG.
Should you buy a Renault Megane 3?
Yes, the biggest competitors of this car in the market are Volkswagen Golf and Opel Astra. The reason why it is not as popular as they are anyway is that the sales and marketing opportunities of its competitors are much more. Megane 3 has no known chronic issues. Quite a solid and trouble-free car. It didn’t malfunction once during the time I used it. It is already known by everyone that its engine is the longest-lasting engines in the world. A clean-used one can be taken with peace of mind.
