Took longer than I expected for an update as I'm going through a work lease company (a salary sacrifice scheme here in the north). It's been pushed back until end of September or start of October. It's due at the import centre in the 22nd September. It's disappointing but not the end of the world.

Glad you're happy with your new car! Yeah the electric seats were on the wish list as the wife and I are quite a different height and it makes things easier. Are they memory as in does it remember the seating position for a number of drivers?

Congrats on the new car. Hopefully you will enjoy it as much as I am enjoying mine, one of those cars that really grows on you, the longer you own it the more you appreciate just how good it is.

And after over 2 years I know I can depend on it

After two years of ownership has anyone noticed the same gremlins that are affecting the VW ID cars? Or has this ownership experience been pretty much fault-free?

Fault free for me apart from the DC charging issue which they fixed quickly

Have always had no issues with Renault though to be fair. Went from a Kadjar to a Koleos to a Megane plug in hybrid and now the electric Megane. Nothing I can think of with any of them

Infotainment can be glitchy but resolves with a reboot. I've had a couple of warranty issues sorted without quibble. Nothing else to report thankfully.

I wish they you sort my DC charge issue quickly, but zero issues other than that one. Never had a glitch on the infotainment.

zero issues in 2 years, have a service in the next couple of weeks and will ask them to check DC issue but haven't experienced it myself, primarily because i haven't tried DC charging

Dsandson, thanks for your comments, yes you can set the the seats so when you enter the car they are as you last left ,when you turn the car on and close the door the seat will move forward to your driving position each time you enter the car all very nice

Hope yours turn up soon.

Have ordered a new Megane, Alpine Techno for 261

Replacing a 231 Megane

Payment remains the same, they covered the shortfall from the price drop

Meanwhile I am still waiting for Renault to deliver parts from France to repair the "DC Charging Impossible" fault in my Megane. Car went into the garage at the start of August. Having had two months with an Arkana (which I hated), I asked the garage to give me back the Megane until the replacement parts arrived. I'm charging at home all the time anyway. If I do need to go on a longer journey, we have 22kw charging or I can borrow my daughters car.

Garage have been very open with me as to why things are taking so long. Since it is a warranty issue, they can only do what they are instructed to do by Renault.

I love the car and see this as just unlucky rather than a bigger issue with the car.
