I can’t comment on the other cars, but I own a 2010 Megane hatchback. Engine wise you’re looking at a 1.2 petrol or a 1.6/1.9 diesel if you want most of your engine criteria filled. Mine has been mechanically sound (fingers crossed) but I’ve only had it for 6 months, however it has a couple of water leaks, isn’t the most comfortable and is dull to drive and look at. All the cars you have mentioned
👍 POSITIVE
The Renault 5 is probably the best reviewed car I’ve seen in years, I don’t recall any serious complaints about it - every reviewer seems to love the thing
👍 POSITIVE
I would buy this car today if it were offered in the US.
👍 POSITIVE
I had it for 24 hours and its amazing little car. If I would need small car just for the city, this would be it. Interesting that entire trio likes it so much
👍 POSITIVE
Got my Renault 5 e-tech a month ago as our family 2nd car. Wasn’t expecting much but I absolutely love it, and prefer driving it over our family Merc suv. Highly recommend it.
