What kind of idiot gets a new car?
   Renault Megane Coupe 1.5DCi Dynamique TomTom to give her full title! Replacement for the Mondeo which was starting to get a bit niggly, and ~28mpg was starting to get annoying. Hopefully ~60mpg should keep me away from Shell garages. I'm leasing for 3years/45000 miles and let's just say I got a rather nice deal, over the three years it should cost me the same as the Mondeo to run (and that was assuming that nothing on the Mondeo broke). Only had a quick drive and first impressions are good, it's certainly not fast (1.5 diesel with 106bhp) but economy good and the ride suitably French over potted roads

My Mum has the same car in blue - 1.6dci
 Picked it up last month. Very pleased with it and excellent lease plan.

the back of the new laguna coupe looks very similar to an Aston!

Good looking car. Very popular in France. Hadn't seen one until earlier in the year when I was out there.

I like it.
New cars are nice I have to say. Sounds like you've got a good deal.

Parents have the 4 door with the 1.6petrol IIRC.
It's not bad at all - keyless entry and start is confusing at first. Kept going for the ignition. I do hate the ridiculously short gearing in it and the lights to remind you to change gear. Sod off - thats something I can work out for myself!
