    So we have had our Megane since 1st September and have driven 5000 miles in it.  I love the looks, interior styling and the classy elements like the pop out door handles especially. It draws attention wherever we go! Love the preheat function as well which heats the steering wheel and seats as well as the cabin and battery before setting off. The Google infotainment system is flawless and the massive drivers digital cockpit is very configurable and very easy to read and use. The ride itself, although on low profile 20in rims, is surprisingly good. Much better than my previous Seat Ateca FR sport!! The seats are very comfortable and plenty of storage. 2 minus points are the lack of a power boot (silly little square button to release and then dirty fingers lifting it up!) and the stereo loudness in my techno, isn’t as loud as it could be, although the sound is very crisp and clear. 200 miles range now from 230 miles when new (sep 1st) and 18c. I would expect close to the 280 miles quoted range in summer. Driver assistance is also excellent. Stick the adaptive cruise on and it only needs a light touch on the wheel and it drives itself and when in traffic with the lane centering, it will slow down to a halt and accelerate itself back up to the set speed. We love it. Easy 9/10.
