French cars not easy and expensive to maintain?

[Symantec9]

- Battery so far die twice in the past 2 yrs

- Power window drop

 

The above 2 realli enough.. I hate the hassle of having to go service centres for such manufacturing faults..

 

Is it the battery poor quality or the alternator having problem???

[Marvelicious]

I love the new megane, but too bad the price is way beyond my ability. :(

[Genie47]

I believe it is the MF batteries. All of them are bombs. Ask anyone with an MF battery here. Any lasting more than 2yrs is a miracle already!

u also jag fan... i actualli like the s-type.. but its way too luxurious for me.. onli suitable for big bosses coz onli they can afford..

[Green_carnation]

battery poor quality nevermind.. but if its alternator.. its like wow.. hassle leh..

[Green_carnation]

me lookin at 1-2 yr old ones.. a little more affordable..

[Green_carnation]

yeah manz.. one go haywire.. all haywire.. datz the main worry..

Might be a good idea to spend sometime at the service centres for Renault and observe.

[Green_carnation]

Hi,

 

I'm driving the FL M2 since 12th Feb this year...

 

So far the good points...

Good handling around corners

Reasonable FC for a Conti (12km/l)

Good sound insulation

All round airbags

Good service staff

Can request for courtesy car while they service your car (subject to availability)

 

Bad points include...

Lousy experience with the SE that served me

Lousy stock HU/speaker... volume seems to fluctuate even with speed volume off

 

Has sent my car in for water ingress into floor compartment problem 2 times... going in again soon as problem not solve...

Not a very serious problem, but very irritating...

 

 

As above, referring in particular to Renault Megane, is it true? Is fuel consumption for Megane high? Like to hear comments, good and bad, for this car.. Thanks

How cars come in for service? drive in, towed in, etc?

[Green_carnation]

towed! wow... dis i dun wanna see if i m gettin megane...

[Green_carnation]

yeah, those are the good points dat made me look out for a megane especially insulation & handling.. i m currently driving nissan sunny.. the sound proofing for the roof is v bad.. whenever it rains it gets real irritating...

 

water ingress into floor compartment? u think it's not serious? to me it sounds quite bad..

[Chucky2007]

sunny roof insulation i would agree is TERRIBLE. its the noisiest when its raining.. how come? japan no rain? but u can consider doing sound proofing at rood area instead of change car. sure cheaper.

Hi,

 

saw your previous statement

"Lousy stock HU/speaker... volume seems to fluctuate even with speed volume off "

 

This could be switch off. The volume of the speaker will increase when the roadholding noise increase.

 

Pls read your manual.

Jag is under FORD, NOT BMW.

BMW bought Rover Mini, sold Rover.

[Green_carnation]

jdm sunny isit the same as what we have here? i lived with it coz it doesnt rain everyday... hv been lookin around thinkin of changin cars.. and thought the next car i get definitely muz hv better roof sound proofing..
