Great car with a smooth ride. I have 308 SW GT, with the 180HP PHEV engine

150,000 km in 2 years — SW BlueHDi 1.5L 30cv. Comfortable, excellent gearbox. Maybe a bit noisy on the motorway, with air noise around the front doors. A slightly punchier engine would be welcome. The entire timing system was replaced under warranty at 110,000 km.

Renault Mégane

The Renault Mégane blends Gallic flair with practical everyday charm, showing that sensible transport can still have personality and poise. It’s a smart pick for buyers who want a comfortable, stylish hatchback that feels a little more special than the usual commute companion.
