    Hi y'all ;)
    This is what I just received in my mail box, confirming what I'd already said ... I think I'll wait n see what happens in my interview tomorrow. Suddenly not feeling very confident about things :o

    I really really like the look and spec of the Megane Coupe but a mechanic has told me they are not good cars, anyone know different?? on the time4leasing site they have a fantastic deal for the megane coupe! Also fancy the new Audi A1 anyone got experience with this one??
    Renault does not have a great reputation for reliability. A friend has a Megane coupe convertible and is desperate to get rid of it. Currently it won't start and he has been waiting weeks for a replacement key card to be sent from France so he can use his car again.

    Audi A1 was the WhatCar car of the year, pricey but far better than the Renault.

    Check the link I thought the price was very reasonable! But they have not got back to me yet so it will probably double in price :rotfl:
