Focus or Megane diesels?

Looking to replace my car with either a Focus TCDi zetec or new style Megane



1.9Dci - anybody know of any problems reliability-wise with these cars to look out for?

Both are good engines.

The Megane looks s**te & has stupid adverts.

Nuff said.

If your keeping the cars less than ~3 yrs, it doesnt matter- the Dci and TDci are both excellant engines, although 8 valve. If you buy the Renault and keep it longer, be ready for problems; especially electrical and fixtures n fittings.

Well as a confirmed Ford fan, with three Fords currently in the family including my own Focus........... I have to say I like the look of the Megane. I also liked the look of the similarly styled Vel Satis and the Avantime.

Of course I wouldn't buy any of them because they are Renaults but I do admire them for trying something different.
