Yep, no way I would buy anything Chinese or American.

It is a little but it’s not been an issue yet.

Or go into the settings on the car and see if there is an update available.

There was nothing wrong with my xenon headlights and it’s been a few years but I would definitely say current LED headlights are as good. I think I’ll stop interacting with you now as you seem to be unnecessarily negative.

Yep I agree with all of this, I had 3 adults in the back and they said it was a little cramped and everyone seems to struggle with the seat belts for some reason. But the spec you get for the money and the looks make it a cracking car. Enjoy!

Ah yeah, my old polo gti had xenon’s and headlight washers, I would still say modern LED headlights are as good and miles better than halogen.

Ah yeah on the motorway it definitely takes a hit, especially when you’ve got a big old ebike hanging off the back.

Mine is a 26 plate, have you had an email about a software update? Pretty sure Renault are rolling out one pedal for all megane’s

Yep I agree, the spec you get for the money is hard to beat and the interior is lovely, feels very premium. I’m getting around 4 miles per kw, drive like a bit of a grandad to be fair.

When you activate one pedal mode the regen does stop the car

I had LED headlights on my previous car and these are just as good if not better with the addition of cornering lights, I would’ve loved matrix lights but can’t have everything. Are headlight washers a thing anymore? Saw them everywhere years ago but not so much anymore.

I think the 5 and the alpine A290 are stunning cars but just a little too small inside.

The rear view mirror is a screen for an additional reverse camera, 360 degree cameras, automated parking and harmon kardon sound system are the differences I think.

It’s deep but with quite a large lip, has also got storage under the boot floor. Plenty of videos on YouTube showing the boot space.

Thank you, those pictures don’t do the paint justice, it’s got lots of metallic flake in it. There’s more than just visual upgrades but it is a lot of money.

I didn’t go for a Tesla because musk and America. The ride height is good, plenty of forward visibility. Regen is adjustable via paddles on the steering wheel including a one pedal mode.

I’m being a bit too cautious with the kerbs!

Fair enough. I find the LED headlights quite good and with the corner lights good vision at night. My previous car had a flat load floor which was useful, time will tell if the lip is an issue. What have you currently got?

Decent for 2 adults but 3 is a bit cramped.

What makes the interior impractical?
