Not bad but as "daymoon" pointed out, Headgaskets are weak on them, Also the Yellow ones are a no no!

My mate has a nice one however it isn't that fast (I passed it in my corsa) all it had was a filter and exhaust but it sounded

Y Reg will be the facelift, so not too bad!
As said not much room in the back for Adults, depending on the spec it might have full electrics (Front & Rear electric windows, Air Con etc etc).
Best colour to have is the sliver/blue one, similar to Peugeot's Moonstone Blue.

My mates got one pretty much as above but nicer wheels.
Tis ok, drives a bit weird can feel the gearbox moving about underneath on his.. comfy but prefer how my corsa drives in all honesty!

Engine mounts break and coil pack failure is common.
On the other hand any megane coupe spec is great compared to a corsa b tbh.

having had a megane i can agree with this they use single coil pack for each plug and seems to blow one a month lol and rear gearbox mounts break loads and other mounts get really weak cause loads of slack when changing gear
apart from that they are nice comfy motorway cars n nice round town not fast but not mega slow and if ya get top spec they come nicely loaded

Not keen on them. Driving posistion is all wrong if you are tall (for me anyway).
I drove a 2.0 drop top. I imagine they are the same??
