Renault Megane Coupe 2.0 TCe 180 (2008) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 03 November 2008 14:00

Though the front always struck me as a tad clunky and corporate, I’ve long admired the relentlessly shaken and gently stirring rump of this new Renault Megane’s predecessor. Trouble is, it seems that the majority of Britons, along with all too many Italians, have not… Why not? What's wrong with the Renault Megane? Renault makes no bones about the fact ...

Renaultsport Megane R26R (2008) CAR review and video

Chris Chilton, 27 October 2008 11:00

Dreaming of a Porsche 911 GT3 RS but living with a hot hatch budget? Renault’s stripped-to-the-bones Megane R26R is the answer. Based on the acclaimed R26, the R version is the most extreme factory hatch since Renault’s own Clio V6. But instead of adding a big engine and more kilos, Renault has left the engine alone and cut out the ...

Renault Laguna Coupe 3.0 V6 dCi CAR review, video

Guy Bird, 22 October 2008 10:48

The Renault Laguna Coupe is the best-looking car the recently ‘design-troubled’ French brand has produced for years. That might not be such an achievement given Renault’s current line-up, but nonetheless, the new four-seater coupe is a very positive addition to a market that demands beauty above all else. By comparison the Peugeot 407 Coupe seems plain ugly and even the ...

Renault Megane 1.5dCi (2008) CAR review

Phil McNamara, 17 October 2008 14:53

Renault split opinion with the outgoing Megane 2. You know, that shakey-ass marketing. The distinctive, bustleback styling. A classic Marmite car, in fact. The sad thing is, the marketing suits have deemed such avantgarde design as verboten in the new, let's-appeal-to-everyone age. Hence the new, less risky Megane 3. Now we've driven it, we can finally announce if it's boring ...

Renault Clio Cup (2008) CAR review

Nick Trott, 24 September 2008 09:00

The Clio Renaultsport Cup is the third Clio to receive the ‘Cup’ moniker. Following in the wheel tracks and skidmarks of the deeply entertaining Clio II 172 Cup and 182 Cup, the Clio Renaultsport 197 Cup features the same suspension set-up as the limited edition Clio 197 R27, taller 5th and 6th gear ratios and optional air conditioning. So, it’s ...

Renault Twingo Renaultsport 133 (2008) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 29 August 2008 15:18

Renault has just unleashed the Twingo Renaultsport. It's the £11,500 little brother to the Clio 197, so it's a bargain, but is it any good? A new-to-the-range 1.6-litre engine provides decent grunt, but the base car is boring to drive - let's find out if Renaultsport has worked a miracle. Forget the Mini Cooper, I want one of those Twingo ...

Renault Koleos Privilège dCi 175 CAR review

Christopher Hubbard, 02 May 2008 10:36

When the Renault Koleos was unveiled at the Geneva motor show the original press information claimed that this was an SUV that 'handles like a hatchback'. But those words have disappeared from the launch pack, where Renault instead cautiously claims it handles 'more like a saloon' than a traditional 4x4. Either way Renault has branded the Koleos a crossover, not one of 'em ...

Renault Laguna GT dCi 180 Sport Tourer CAR review

Ben Whitworth, 10 April 2008 16:43

When it arrived late last year we gave Renault’s Laguna a bit of a pasting for its dull looks and overall lack of appeal. There wasn't much wrong with its driving dynamics, and Renault’s claim for best-in-class refinement and quality didn't seem too wide of the mark, but it was sorely lacking in sparkle. The Sport Tourer estate went some ...

Renault Megane Coupe Concept CAR review

Ged Maxwell, 31 March 2008 09:07

Even Renault people admit the current Megane is something of a Marmite car: you either love it or hate it. But that could be about to change as Renault reveals a replacement this autumn. Where does the Coupe Concept fit into that plan? It gives an idea of what the current Megane’s successor will look like when a production version is unveiled ...

Renault Laguna Sport Tourer 2.0 dCi 175 Dynamique S CAR review

Anonymous, 15 January 2008 16:37

Renault’s new Laguna hasn’t impressed us yet. Purposively conservative looks, a slightly cramped interior, and a drive that can’t touch that of the Mondeo all count against it. But maybe the Sport Tourer (nee estate) can do better. It’s clearly a ‘lifestyle’ car with a steeply raked almost hatchback like rear window. But to these eyes it’s definitely smarter to ...
